final build check

[Mardax007]

Hi, I already ask on the forum for help choosing my pc parts. But I just want to check one more time.

Is this build all ok?

If you can only afford 8GB of RAM make sure it's a two stick kit.  Single channel RAM will reduce your CPU performance to noticeable levels.

Base seems good, but i would really spring for a 2x8GB kit if possible. Ryzen systems perform much better on dual channel kits.

Okay thanks nick name and berries for the tips I will do 16Gb.

I'd rather recommend against that, simply becuase upgrading to 4 sticks in the future might harm performance and ryzen 2nd gen isn't perfectly optimised for 4 DIMM operation.

@berberrieswas right, just try to squeez a little itty bit of money out of your budget and get a 2 x 8 kit for 16gig in dual channel

[Caennanu]

it looks fine as a base, especially with the feedback already received.

I personally don't have issues with 256gb of SSD, but you might. Do you plan on complementing this with older hardware, like a 1 - 2 TB drive you already own?

If not, it is likely to become a concern with the ever increasing size of games and applications.

(personally i use 2 drives, a 256 for OS and office applications and a 512 for games, and the 512 gets pretty full at times).

I normally wouldn't recommend it either, but I can't make someone spend more money than they have.  But it seems OP can afford 16GB so that solved the problem nicely.

It's not that much more money and applications will thank you for 16GB of ram.

 

Funnily enough, my Ryzen 2700x system was more stable with 2 2x8GB Kit of Corsair Vengeance RGB 3000C16 (total 4 sticks) pushed to 3000C15 at 1.375V. Now with a 2x16GB Kit of G.Skill Trident Z RGB 3000C16, I'm still trying to get it stable at 3000C16 1.4V, it's supposed to be fine at 1.35V lol.

as on your previous posts, I would change the motherboard, the ram and the psu.

motherboard has poor power deliviery and will struggle with a 2700x.

ram must be in dual channel, so either get 2x4 or 2x8

that psu is trash and will burn your house down. get a corsair cx or a be quiet bronze/gold psu.

I second this, but if you don't want to take the advice.... 

 

If you're just looking for the rubber stamp of approval... your PC will work but I can't stamp it.  Just not the best use of money and using substandard components.

at stock it should be fine, just no OCing

Gamdias Kratos is actually in Tier B+ in the PSU tier list linked in your own signature.

As a said earlier I would like to have as much information as possible so I can create a good build.

the P1-G version, which is the gold version.

The one in OP's build is the E1 version, which is unrated (not even bronze)

get a msi b450 tomahawk max, gaming plus max or a-pro max (whichever is cheaper).

get 2x8 gb of 3000Mhz ram (or 2x4gb if you can't afford it)

get a cx550 from corsair or a 500w gold psu from be quiet.

[Eeeeeeee]

You should go for a slower cpu and a better graphics card like gtx 1660 or something and a ryzen 5 2600 or something

[Mephi00]

depending on the price difference I'd really swap out the board to a B450 tomohawk MAX or gaming plus max and get a 3600 for dat gaming performance

For that 2700X price he probably can get the R5 3600 or drop it down to 1600AF and switch to 1660Super, but OP needs 8cores for whatever reason.

It would help to know from which shop he buys so we would know the prices, but people dont really like it if we swap out most of their parts.

I am shopping on alternate.nl

I would be glad if you could select the parts.

It's a Dutch site but your browser should be able to translate it.

Just as I thought, R7 2700X costs €179 while R5 3600 is  €174. In your first topic you said that you want a €600 PC and I had a hard time to put stuff together, now that I know where you buy I know the reason. The build in the OP costs €650,18

 

The cpu on megekko is the R5 1600AF(basically the same as R5 2600) https://www.megekko.nl/product/4278/279206/Socket-AM4-Processoren/AMD-Ryzen-5-1600-processor

I would rather buy this ram, but it would be over the budget https://www.alternate.nl/Ballistix/16-GB-DDR4-3000-Kit-werkgeheugen/html/product/1534466?
