Hello everyone I am looking to build my first gaming PC. I think i've got a pretty decent build list but looking for input. Mind you it is somewhat of a budget build.

 

PARTS:

MSI B450 Tomahawk MAX

Ryzen 5 3600x

Corsair RM 750 80+ Gold

Sandisk ultra 3d Nand 1TB internal ssd

G.skill ripjaw 16g (2x8) DDR4

and geforce 1080 founders edition Graphics card.

 

Any suggestions or problems anyone sees with this build

more of the bigger titles (call of duty, assassins creed) things of that nature. If i buy the 1080 it will be for sub $200 us

 

That is a real good price, and a powerful card, get it

Based on how much you are spending I would consider Ryzen 7 2700x although it’s older, it’s still got a AM4 socket, you get more cores and threads. It’s also generally cheaper.

I would get a M.2 NVME ssd because they’re faster and about the same price
