Hey everyone,

 

First time building a PC so just looking for some advice/feedback on my new computer build.  Here are the specs of my current computer and new AMD one (https://pcpartpicker.com/list/fbwRCL). 

 

Item                  Current                                 New Build                                                      
Case:                Dell XPS 8500                     Any Mini/Mid tower around $80 would be fine
GPU:                 GTX 1050 Ti                        RTX 2060 Super
CPU:                 i7-3770  3.40GHz                Ryzen 5 3600

Harddrive          Samsung 860 1TB              N/A (gonna use the Samsung 860)
Motherboard:    Default                                 ASRock B450M Pro4 (but I'd really like one with bluetooth and wifi already on the board
RAM:                16GB DDR3 (1600MHz)      G.Skill 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4-3600 (Can the Ryzen CPU only handle 3200MHz?)
Powersupply:    Dell HU460AD-01               Corsair CXM 750W 80+ Bronze (doesn't need to be special)
Monitor:             LG 24MP56 (60Hz)            N/A (keeping the old one for now)

 

Any suggestions on a tower, motherboard, and the RAM question would be much appreciated.

Thanks!

I choose the MSI B450 Gaming Pro Carbon AC ATX Motherboard because it's reasonable price B450 motherboard with Wi-FI Chipset

According to wikichip.org, the Ryzen 5 3600 can handle up to only 3200 MHz of memory
