Review + suggestion on my build

gogogame

I already build this and i'd like recommendation on upgrade path

Actually I didn't plan on the budget but for all of this build is just under 500$ (no used part) in my country

 

<-Aim of this build ->

1 .Small cases so it's goin to be itx-form factor

2. Decent gaming performance just low-medium 1080p is okay for me

3. Heavy task on compressing/decompressing file since i have a lot of data to manage in my house

 

Part list

CPU Ryzen 3 1200 <- if I bought the 2200G I shouldn't have waste money on GPU...

Motherboard Asrock Fatal1ty gaming itx/ac

Ram Apacer Panther 8GB 2400 bus <- 2666 ram is more expensive by noticable margin 20$ more

GPU Galax GTX 1050 2GB OC <- I should've buy the used card cause it'll save me half of this thing's cost

PSU Silverstone Strider Essential 550w 80+ Gold

Case Coolermaster Elite 110

Storage WD Blue M.2 250GB

 

What I plan to do

-Grab a ryzen 7 on sale (After ryzen 3 are out and i doubt that this mobo will support it), presumably used one

-possibly another single channel 2400 ram, cause 16GB is better right?

-Adding two 1 TB 2.5 inch HDD 5400 rpm, cause it's lying around

-Replace this PSU with Superflower 750 watt leadex gold (used), for modular cable

-Swap GPU out for rx560 for all amd build gtx 1050 is going to be use on another project

 

This is my first time build ever aside from my home PC since I mostly got it second hand (like I only had to replace GPU and PSU)

 

PS. I already made a post about this the other day but I'm total newbie so I post it under CPU+motherboard+ram section

PS2. I'm using price in my country (Thailand) as reference, so feel free to ask for the price reference online shoping here isn't that good

I would recommend a GPU upgrade soon, as only having a 2GB frame buffer is pretty low for newer titles, and a CPU upgrade would reap a heavy benefit. 

I recommend looking for a cheap 1060, or even a 980. Used/pre-owned hardware still have a ton of life in them. (my entire build is used hardware). 

Ryzen 7 1700/1800s are dirt cheap for the performance they give, if you wait a little longer they may even go lower. 

Hope this helps.

I'd get a better GPU. Wait until AMD launches their new stuff and either find a 570 or 580 cheap, or pick up whatever newer card they have. The 560 is extremely weak.

I'd also ditch the idea of adding more 2400mhz RAM, and instead save up for a proper 3000mhz+ 16GB kit. AMD needs higher speed memory.

16GB is only better if you need 16GB. If you don't stream, and you only have a game open, you don't really need any more than 8GB. All depends on how you use your system, only you can really figure out what's best for you. I, for example, should probably have 32GB.

I still need a GPU that fits into my case I do have 570 but it won't fit into my case

so I don't have to upgrade the ram right?

3000 mhz ram is twice the price of 2400 with same capacity either it's 8 or 16GB

You don't have to, but your performance will certainly suffer.
