Im going to be playing games in 1080p. Any help, recommendations, or advice would be greatly appreciated. This is my first time building a computer. Left it room for future upgrades while still being relevant.

Looks pretty solid to me.. I would get the Nitro+ over the XFX, though.. Don't worry about the boost being higher on one or the other, you should be able to achieve a similar overclock on both of them, though I would think the Nitro+ is better built overall.. And Saphire just makes some of the best AMD cards, period..

I don't know about the budget so...here. This build performs about 25% better, something like that. Saved some money  by downgrading to 1st gen ryzen, but you can still upgrade in the future with the b450 board. Saved money on ram, saved money on the case. Then used the money saved to change the gpu to a far more powerful vega 56, a much better quality power supply and a 1tb ssd. If you can't spend this much, then just change the ssd back to the samsung 500gb one you were using in your build.

That's really the only downside lol.. You'll only see the side of it anyway.. You'll probably be fine with either but I bet the Sapphire one has better build quality..

@LukeSavenije Would it be better to get a 1660 ti at that range?

luke is right on this one,gtx 1600 series are kinda a failure if you ask me.

also be sure to buy the rx vega from a site that supports the amd 50th anniversary since they give you 2 free games with it!

Oh sweet, I didn't know that.

Vega 64 is the best card under $450.. Newegg sometimes has the Nitro+ (best non liquid Vega 64) for $419..
