Ryzen 3600 build

[sdpy15]

Hi All, 

 

I've been gaming on a 1050 2gb and I5 7400 for a couple years now and feel that its about darned time for a new build. I live in Canada, and wanted to purchase most of my hardware from either Amazon.ca, or Bestbuy, or newegg. 

 

I put together a list of what im interested in building with, but have never pieced together a full system so i'm not exactly sure what is compatible, or if there are better options out there for the same price. 

 

I'm hoping to keep the build below 1,300 CAD before shipping and tax. Would like to see at least 1080p gaming in most titles with 60+ fps. I also do a bit of 4k editing, but its not a huge concern for me, the main purpose is for gaming (ie: GRW Breakpoint, Doom, FC 5, Just Cause, Assassins Creed, etc). 

 

1. Ryzen 5 3600

2. Radeon RX 5700

3. Asus Prime X-570 P

4. 16 GB Vengeance 3000mhz

5. EVGA 650 W

6. CoolerMaster MB520

7. HDD (from my old computer, im not really interested in upgrading to a ssd at this time)

8. Have not decided on a screen yet. 

 

At this time the build will cost 1,278.71 CAD before shipping and tax. 

 

Is this a good idea to proceed with the build? Will all of the hardware be compatible? Or are there better options to go with that may not cost as much?  

 

In the past I have only swapped some ram, and a PSU on a computer so this will be my first full build. I've watched a lot of LTT videos on building computers and feel as if I have enough information to build it properly, so all I need is some technical assistance in finding the right parts. 

 

Cheers!

It's what makes the biggest difference. An SSD is literally about 10X faster than your average hard drive, even the cheap SSDs. Even a 120GB just for windows and your favorite programs would prove to be a night and day difference.

I just dont care for one atm. Besides, I have all of my games saved locally on my old HD.

Looks fine, but you should get a case with a mesh front for better cooling

 

and maybe spend a little bit more on the motherboard

 

or you can just get one of the MSI B450 boards with USB bios flashing since you're only getting the 6 core.

Unless you plan on upgrading to a 12 or 16 core when ryzen 4000 comes out.

Would this B450 support 3rd gen cpus though?

just check the motherboard website

Build something like this instead...

Update the bios using bios flashback. This won't require any older CPU. 

Also, overclock the ram.

I will suggest you to install Windows on the SSD and keep your HDD fr the game library.
