How's this PC part list I've never built one

[matchew_3]

Ryzen 5 2600 

MSI B450 Tomahawk

Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro 16 GB (2x8GB) DDR4-3000 Memory

Crucial MX500 500GB 2.5" SSD

XFX Radeon RX 570 4 GB RS XXX Video Card

Phanteks P300 ATX Mid Tower Case

Corsair 450 Watt Power Supply

 

I would like to have get a R5 3600 but I read the B450 might need a BIOS update with 3600, is there a motherboard under 175 that works with the 3600? I don't need this PC to run the latest triple A titles. Mostly I want to play Overwatch, Rainbow 6 and CS GO with friends. I'm open to any suggestions to make it more powerful, but I want to keep the price under 700-750. 

 

Thanks, hope I don't regret joining the LTT forum

The MSI B450 Tomahawk MAX has support for 3rd gen Ryzen out of the box. https://www.msi.com/Motherboard/B450-TOMAHAWK-MAX/Specification

I would also go for an m.2 nvme ssd, price difference with regular sata ssd isn't that big. And unless you really care for the RGB on the ram you're probably better of getting a 3200 or 3600 kit for the same price without RGB.

I'd assume picking the 2600 is based on budget, I just picked one up for 42% off MSRP on Newegg a couple weeks ago. Choosing B450 means he has a good upgrade path, assuming 4th gen Ryzen gets a BIOS update on it.

 

I agree with the ram, 3200mhz is the bare minimum you want to run when gaming on Ryzen. 3600mhz seems to be the sweetspot to relieve bottleneck based on RAM. 

 

Are you buying that SSD for any particular reason? Or is it just because you already have it. The Intel 660p m.2 is dirt cheap and multiple times faster. 

i.e 1TB 660p for $100 USD
