Anything in here raises your eyebrows or is it decent?

. Mostly will be used for normal every day use with light gaming.
I could wait for ryzen 3rd gen, but i don't really care about it at the moment. Unless i buy the CPU last after all reviews settles in

This will be 3-4 month build since i'm not in a rush.

 

This my current system,

So i think it will quite a bit of an upgrade

Why 32GB of RAM and why a 4K monitor with a 1660?

 

Productivity?

 

This will be 3-4 month build since i'm not in a rush.  I'd wait a bit before planning then.

grab an MSI B450-A Pro instead of the B450-plus and you don't need 32gb for gaming.

[DoctorNick]

Why not just wait for Ryzen 3000? Get a 3800x/3700x instead? https://www.amd.com/en/ryzen-7 - release date 7. July

You can use the same board. Just remember to ask the vendor to update the bios for you.

In my case ram is needed for running 2 virtual machines in the background, so want to have some space. Forgot to mention. It

I always wanted 4k for netflix and YouTube. Or thinking about it probably 2 27 inch monitors prob would serve better

Yes that's the best thing to do in my case. Didn't even know the release date is known

[Caennanu]

do you plan on using both monitor's  @4k?

Cause in that case i think the 1660 might not be sufficient, depending on what you're showing on them ofcourse.

Aside of that, don't see anything wrong with the build combined with the additional clarification.

My current monitor will go to my nephew, so I'll have only 1. And I think 4k would be better for 2 vms side by side?

ahh so you mean to split the 4k screen with 2 visuals of the VM's side by side. Then it should be fine. just don't show very graphical heavy stuff in them.

i'd probably go with 1440p ultrawide so there's more screen space for 2 vm windows, also all 1440p ultrawides have less pixels than regular 4k monitor, which should be less graphically intensive for your gpu
