New Build please help

[Seabass01]

Good day all I need a bit of help or more clarification if you please. I am building my new gaming PC with a limit budget here what am considering.

AMD Ryzen 5 3600 

 

MSI B450 GAMING PLUS MAX Turbo

WD Black SN750 250GB PCIe Gen3 x4 NVMe

Corsair VENGEANCE LPX 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 3600MHz 

Corsair CX-M Series CX650M 650 Watt 80 PLUS Bronze

    

Fractal Design Focus G Black Window ATX Mid Tower Case

 

My current GPU is Zotac 1070ti AMP ,  will my GPU work fine with the board? and do I need a BOIS update?  Keep in mind I wanted the B450 Tomahawk max but seems out of stock  .

If you have other sugestion or input I will appreciate

 

Thank you

 

PS: I have seagate 2T storage if you wondering.

looks like a good build. it will work well without bios upgrade.

the wd750 is a bit expensive for a gaming pc. you can probably get a cheaper crucial p1/p2 or the same price for 500gb

If memory serves, the MSI MAX motherboards support Zen 2 cpu from initial release.

 

Besides, the B450 Gaming Plus MAX has a flash BIOS feature that allows updates without a working cpu installed.

 

Consider a more expensive memory kit with much better timings.

 

A 550W psu is more than sufficient for the build. Consider the Cooler Master Masterwatt 550W currently on sale at Canada Computers. Quality is comparable to the CXM series.

 

Save a bit on the NVMe drive. Any performance difference will not be noticeable.

The timings on that Corsair RGB are the same as the LPX that he already has. They are both CL18 (18-22-22-42).

Argh! Thanks for catching the error. Not sure what happened, I must have misread the entries. 

 

Canada Computers does not have any DDR4-3600 memory with good timings. So the OP kit makes the most sense.

Thank you for the quik responce guys.  SO storage check ty,   but for the memory you are suggesting better CL18 (18-22-22-42) timming for this setup ?  I will have to order from Amazon canada some parts for the delivery so any suggestion I will take in consideration.

thanks

Newegg.ca usually has good memory choices and pricing. https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/product/jBZzK8/gskill-ripjaws-v-16-gb-2-x-8-gb-ddr4-3600-memory-f4-3600c16d-16gvkc
