£600 machine

A friend asked for advice with a ryzen build. He asked me if the following will work:

-MSI B450 GAMING PLUS Motherboard

-AMD Ryzen 5 2600 AM4 (thehy were going to opt for some G variant but I reccomended agaisnt it as they are getting some dedicated graphics).

-MSI GeForce GTX 1660 Ti VENTUS XS 6GB OC Graphics Card ( I think they were going for something cheaper but I remember Linus at some point saying 50% of budget should be on GPU).

-Corsair Force MP300 120GB M.2 SSD (they have 1TB HDD, I reccomeneded they keep that as steam drive and get a speedy m.2)

-2x Crucial 4GB DDR4-3200 UDIMM (they were originally getting a single stick of 8Gb slower, but I believe the advice for ryzen is 2 sticks for dual channel and should be most Mhz as possible).

-600W PSU + Some random case

-Win 10

 

Hopefully the advice I gave is okay any issues/feedback/compatability issues?

 

Did i forget anything? They are buying this week and I am helping them assemble next week.

Seems good, I would get a 16 gb of ram though. Ryzen 3000 is coming soon so you should probably tell your friend to wait. Also, what PSU?

so there are 2 empty ram slots for upgrade in future (next paycheck). then it would be 4x16GB.

Ok, 8 for now is fine.

That PSU seems very bad, I would try to get a Corsair CX or CXM grey unit.

Here's what I'd do. This fits in a 180GB M.2 SSD instead of a 120GB, a Vega 56 (8% faster than the 1660 Ti), and 16GB of RAM instead of 8GB, all within budget (well, $5 over, so mostly in budget):

Thanks massively for the suggestions

Here is a good build for slightly over 600 but if you want to lower the price you could still use an gtx 1660ti

[Abominablespongecake]

On ebuyer the Vega 64 says reccomended 650W PSU. Will the bequiet suffice?
