Gaming Computer Upgrade.

[Slinky0]

Hi,

 

I've had my current computers for quite a few years now, so as a gift to myself, have decided to almost completely upgrade my system.

I live in Australia, and am hoping to keep this upgrade under $1,500.

I've already got a case, fans and a fan controller.

 

Here's my ideas;

CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 3600 3.6 GHz 6-Core Processor  ($299.00 @ Shopping Express) 
Motherboard: MSI B450M GAMING PLUS Micro ATX AM4 Motherboard  ($125.00 @ Austin Computers) 
Memory: Corsair Vengeance LPX 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR4-3000 Memory 
Storage: Crucial P1 1 TB M.2-2280 NVME Solid State Drive  ($165.00 @ Umart) 
Video Card: MSI Radeon RX 5700 XT 8 GB Video Card  ($659.00 @ Austin Computers) 
Power Supply: Corsair TXM Gold 650 W 80+ Gold Certified Semi-modular ATX Power Supply  ($170.50 @ Newegg Australia) 
Total: $1418.50
 

I don't particularly have any preference of brand, just trying to get the best bang for my buck.\

I'd appreciate any feedback,

Cheers!

Looks pretty solid to me. Nice balanced system.

For mobo you can do fine with Asrock B450 Pro 4 or Steel Legend series. they are best for money.

T-Vulcan offer great ram with high clock speed with cheaper price.

i dont know about SSD. but you sure need that 1TB for gaming? i prefer combination between SSD and HDD. 

550W can do a lot. it is not necessary needs to be 650W.
