Need advice on my new PC build

[iiSnewoNL]

Good day everyone! I'm new here and I created my account to get some advice on my new PC build! I'm currently shopping for PC parts.

 

So I currently have this:

CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 2600X 3.6 GHz 6-Core Processor - €145 euros

Motherboard: Gigabyte B450M DS3H Micro ATX AM4 Motherboard -  €70,00 euros

RAM: Corsair Vengeance LPX 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR4-3000 Memory - €85,05 euros

Storage: Samsung 860 Evo 250 GB 2.5" Solid State Drive - €60,95 euros

GPU: MSI GeForce GTX 1660 Ti 6 GB VENTUS XS OC Video Card -  €295,00 euros

Case: Cooler Master MasterBox MB520 RGB Midi Tower -  €65,00 euros

PSU: Cooler Master MWE Gold 650 Full Modular PSU - €73,05 euros

OS: Windows 10 64-bit  - Free (I'm getting it from a friend)

 

(https://nl.pcpartpicker.com/list/KWD9hy)

 

Total costs are around €800 euros (don't mind the price provided in the link).

 

My budget is €800-850 euros (it may be higher if needed).

 

So here a few things I think that could be improved:

- RAM

The RAM I'm getting has 3000 Mhz as ram speed, but I see that the mobo only supports 2400 MHz, 2133 MHz, 2667 MHz, 2933 MHz, 3200 MHz(O.C.). I don't know if it would go down to 2933 Mhz when going to the profiler. I think I should get another ram sticks?

 

- Storage

I'm buying extra storage when I have the money for it. So, for now, 250GB SSD.

 

- PSU

I think that 550 watt is more than enough but someone said that I should get 650 watt to be safe. Still considering getting lower though.

 

- Case

The case comes with 3 RGB front fans and 1 non-RGB rear fan. I saw a post saying that the DS3H only has 2 fan slots, so I think this case wouldn't be the right option?

 

What do you think of this build?

 

This is my first PC build, any advice is welcome!

 

Regards,

Do you need more RAM?  Have you even checked your usage?

 

Get more storage if you need it.  SSDs are inexpensive these days. Grab a 1TB drive or a few TB in HDD for mass storage.

 

What monitor do you have?  Maybe a new monitor and GPU to move up in resolution or frame rate?

 

Otherwise your build is fine and balanced.

16 GB is enough for me.

 

I will add more storage later. It's just that I don't have money yet for more or it has the same price as the current one. Otherwise, I should shift some things in the components?

 

I currently don't have a monitor as I use a laptop now. I'm planning to buy the AOC G2460VQ6 - Gaming Monitor (75 Hz) - 109 euros.

Just a few things to mention:

- I was much of a Nvidia fan though, but hm mkay.

 

- I don't really like the case though. Also I saw that it only has 2 front fans pre-installed?

 

- Is 400 watt already more than enough?

 

- It's a bit over the budget though.

 

Last but not least: And is my build also fine? I'm just being curious here

 

[iiSnewoNL]

So I guess everything is fine with this build?

I like Hello_There's build better, I like that motherboard better for you.

 

I'd bump up to 500w+ as well.

 

@LukeSavenije may be able to tell you if that PSU is good at 400w tho.

i think 400 is a little too far on the edge... 500w sounds good to me

Okay guys, thank you very much for the advices!

Should be , according to Toms Hardware the 5700 consumes 180W under a gaiming load , so combine that with 100-140W 2600 and 50W for everything else , you,re still well below 400W.
