My first build

[shaneh890]

My first build and pc. Switching over from console finally. It also is a budget build. I plan on getting a bequiet cooler for the cpu soon, and a 500 gig ssd for my main storage and will use the hdd for back up. Tell me what do y’all think? 
 

Ryzen 5 2600

Msi rx 580 

16 gb ddr4 3200

asrock b450m pro 4

evga 600 watt bronze 

120 gig nvme

1tb WD blue hard drive 

Corsair iCUE 220t

pretty nice! Are you gonna upgrade the gpu to next NAVI or rtx 3000 -series? 

[Escapenz]

Nice and tidy, well done

I was looking at a rx 5700 xt, but that won’t be for a bit, so who know what I will decide on

5700 XT not worth the upgrade right now. wait like 6 months and get new NAVI

I would like to point out that your GPU is sagging like hell...

But other than that, the build is pretty neat.. (way better than my first build... *me not knowing that cable management exists)

Yes in the first picture but I realized it and ordered a bracket (as seen in the other pictures) and solved it

Yes it will probably be about 6 months or so until I can spend some more money on it, since I had to buy peripherals and a desk and stuff. I will probably stick with amd cards because my monitor is freesync

Not bad. Personally I wouldn't have bothered putting money into a 120GB SSD though.

I just wanted something to boot off of quickly and will be adding another larger ssd once I have some more money saved up. The 120 gig only set me back 40 bucks

Yeah but one twice the capacity isn't much more, and a 1TB is only $100.

NVME in 120GB also doesn't make much sense since smaller capacity drives are slower.

Live and learn, I can always add another

Nice build man, Super clean looking it all ties really well together. All it needs is a beefy air cooler and then overclock the life out of it.

Yep I’m looking at a be quiet dark rock 4. My friend keeps insisting I get an aio but I think an air cooler would look better

Good choice! I have had AIO Water-coolers before and honestly i think High-end air coolers are better, I had an AMD FX-6300 overclocked to 4.8Ghz on a Noctua NH-D14 and it ran great.

Even better, wait like 6 months and switch to Nvidia.

[AWatson]

Just built my first as well... your cable management puts mine to shame .  Looks great.

nobody knows how powerful nvidia and NAVI cards will be. if NAVI decently priced, like rx 5700/XT then NAVI makes more sense. but if (finally) NVIDIa comes with decently priced gpu then go to nvidia. simple

Cable management was pretty nice, and the aesthetics are very nice, however, quote me if i'm wrong, but i'm noticing some gpu sag. 

[rqb2001]

Excellent build.
