• Corsair Vengeance LPX 8GB DDR4 3000 8x1, Will be adding another 8Gig later
• Gigabyte Radeon RX570 Gaming 4G

• AOC 22 Series 21.5" Monitor

looks good. i highly advise getting either 2x4 or 2x8 ram, you'll see stutters, frame drops and freezes from using just 1 stick of ram

That board wont support zen2 cpus out of the box. You'll hv to update the bios.

Alternatively you can purchase msi b450 max series motherboards for out of the box compatibility.

Critique: (critique is by definition mostly negative, the idea being to find problems)

 

This does not stoke me personally as a solid long term build, though it is a solid shorter term one. It should work fine at least till the consoles come out.  I don’t know what nation of origin is so I can’t compare pricing.

-the motherboard is solid.

-the memory is a bit slow but solid enough.

-The 3500 is imho a slightly weaker chip long term than the 2600 because it lacks multithread.  There is disagreement on this one.  I could be wrong. It does have faster single core than the 2600.  It’s a question of whether the extra thread capacity will turn out to be needed or not. 3500s can’t even be had in the US. It’s an OEM part only here.  It might be really cheap though.  

-The 570 is below the lowest projected spec for the upcoming consoles.  There are older used cards that might be better value.

I'm buying off of a brick and mortar store so I can get the Mobo w/ updated bios

I'll look into B450Max series too though. Thanks!

I've seen YouTube videos of this card paired with a 2500/3600/9100F/9400F and it seems to have enough grunt for my gaming needs. What card do you suggest though?

Sadly it is currently unknown.  It will be about a year before it is known though possibly less.  Current projections were 5700xt, then 580, and now 2070S.  There is a certain argument for not improving GPU at all and saving money for the likely gigantic ally priced card that will be required.  It is possible that none of the build except the motherboard will survive.  CPU (and hence memory as well) might though.  I’ve got a moldy old 4770k I haven’t gotten rid of yet because  I’m not sure it won’t handle it.  I’m doubtful, but not sure.  There might be an argument for an old used card even weaker than a 570 (assuming it’s cheaper) and just dumping it when the new games for the upcoming consoles arrive.
