Seems alright to me, although personally I would have gotten a used Vega 56 and saved a few bucks

Yeah buying used would've saved me a lot, but I didn't want to run into any problems building my first expensive pc.

No SSD?
Personally I hate first gen Ryzen, and I don't like the case. So. 4/10.

Oh sorry forgot to list storage, I've got a 1 TB HDD and a 120 GB SSD from Kingston as my boot drive.

6/10

 

Personally, I'd get more storage and get a 2nd or 3rd gen ryzen.

yeah at first the case was really cool to me and for some reason I'm starting to not like it, I may buy a new one, but idk. Also why is 1st gen Ryzen bad?

Yeah I should, any recommendations on a specific one?

If I'm remembering correctly, I think I've seen Ryzen 5 2600 for about $10-20 more...not worth the upgrade right now though. If you were to upgrade in the near future, I'd get a 3600 or a 3600X.

 

As far as storage, you can probably just add another 1-2TB as you need it. Not a bad build...better than mine currently!

Pain in the ass to work with. Too picky when it comes to memory.

Yeah I saw that, but I'm wondering on performance gains I don't want to spend another 125 ish dollars just to get a tiny bit more performance, I'd rather it wield more performance for the money.

IMO, replace the HDD with a SSD. I know you're already using a SSD for your boot drive, but it will feel a lot snappier accessing whatever you currently have on your HDD. Your GPU and CPU are fine.

 

I (think) I've read that you can flash to the Vega 64 BIOS for added performance. Not sure what that involves though as I've never tried it...
