I recently built my first pc and was curious on any thoughts or opinions from more experienced builders. intended use being gaming and web browsing

Specs are

Mobo: Asrock AB350 Pro4 

CPU:Ryzen 5 1600

HSF: stock wraith

Ram: 16gb(2x8) g.skill ripjaws V 3000mhz ddr4

GPU: Sapphire rx 570 nitro+ 4gb

Storage: 1tb 7200rpm Seagate hdd, 250gb samsung 860 evo ssd

Case: Cougar mx340 atx mid tower

PSU:Corsair cx550 bronze (2017)

 

ik the case is a tad cheap but it has tempered glass and a psu shroud and it works out for me so whatever.

well is our recomendations going to be considered or? becuase if you already built the machine then it's already built and whatever we say is more or less useless. We don't even know the cost of the machine or what the budget or use case was so there not much to add here

Awwwww hell yeah! Excellent CPU (I had an R5 1600 for a bit, slapped it to 4Ghz and it kept up with a 980 Ti or 1080 pretty well), Solid RAM choice (I've had that too, it's great stuff), really good GPU (I had the STRIX one, thing slaps 1080p pretty hard for the price point), solid choices for HDD and SSD, PSU is excellent. Case actually looks pretty dope too, just googled it. 

Overall a solid first build, should perform really damn well for 1080p gaming and multitasking and such. Defo try OCing the CPU, these don't make much heat (A mere 120mm AIO kept my R5 1600 at 1.4v/4Ghz or so plenty cool).
