New Ryzen Build

[James300]

I'm looking to build a new machine in the next couple of months once Ryzen 3000 is released and would like some thoughts from you guys as to any glaring errors or bad decisions. I've not built a rig from scratch in probably 10+ years (For my sins I've even owned an Alienware)

 

Current Machine (Pre-built)

 

Core i7-4790

16GB DDR3 1600Mhz

GTX 1060 3GB

 

Planned Build

 

Cooler Master - MasterBox MB511 ATX Mid Tower Case (Already Purchased)

Ryzen 5 3600X/ Ryzen 7 3700X

ADATA - XPG SX8200 Pro 512 GB M.2-2280 Solid State Drive (Already Purchased)

G.Skill - Ripjaws V Series 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR4-3200 Memory (Already Purchased)

be quiet! - Pure Power 11 CM 500 W 80+ Gold Certified Semi-modular ATX Power Supply

Motherboard - X570 TBD

GPU - TBD, probably in the 2070 Range or Navi Equivalent when announced

A generic 1TB SSD for game storage

 

As far as cooling goes, the Case comes with one rear fan. Should I look at installing front case fans as well, or are they really only essential for more powerful builds?

 

Thanks in advance for your input!

i'd step up a little, we don't know how much a 3600x/3700x will pull

i'd probably do, to create some extra airflow

 

something like some pure wing 2's will do

Thanks for the advice.

 

I'm waiting on X570 pricing to make a decision on which mobo to get, hopefully that'll be announced in the next week or two.

 

 

I thought I might get away with the 500W PSU but given it's a relatively inexpensive step up to a good quality 600W PSU it's not exactly a hardship, the same with adding in the pure wings 2

 

Thanks!

yeah... we know gigabyte's boards well enough already, but others are a little harder to find

 

to say the least

I've managed to pick up a 600W Pure Power 11 from Amazon for £60, so just the motherboard, CPU & GPU to go now. Hopefully AMD can pull another rabbit from the hat this evening and announce a GPU at the sweet spot
