AMD Upgrade Build

[Statik]

Hey guys, so I want to preface this by saying I'm going away with work for a while, so I won't be able to build this until probably November, so I know AIB GPUs are going to be released, and more than likely different motherboards, which I'm planning on going with. So those changes will be made down the line, but this is tentatively what I have. I was originally planning on going with an Intel/Nvidia build, since that's been my dream, but with the release and benchmarks of the new 5700 XT and new Ryzen chips, it's really looking like AMD is turning the table, and is offering better performance overall for once.

 

So this is the current build I have planned, not including some possible in case lighting, a fan controller, and depending on my colour scheme -depending on AIB GPU more than likely- some sleeved GPU cables. What is everyones opinions? Thanks. 

 

P.S. My budget is ~$1500CAD, so be aware if you're looking at things on american PC part picker. It's mainly going for an aesthetic gaming PC, with the possibility of casual streaming.

 

Parts that aren't included are ones I'll be transferring from my current rig, including.

- 8540W CM PSU

- 250gb Evo 840 SSD

- 500gb Evo 840 SSD

- 1TB HDD

- All my peripherals listed in my signature.

I think this is a really good upgrade from your current build.
