Hi guys, I'm planning on building a pc for my brother and I need some advice on the parts I picked. It's the first time I'm building with AMD so I'm a bit unsure.

 

The PCs main use will be gaming (Destiny 2, Doom Eternal,...) and the occasional stream.

 

The parts:

  • CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 3700X
  • CPU cooler: Be quiet Dark Rock Pro 4
  • Motherboard: ASUS prime X470 pro
  • RAM: G.Skill 16 GB DDR4-3200
  • SSD: Samsung 970 EVO 500 GB
  • HDD: Seagate FireCuda 2 TB
  • PSU: be quiet! Straight Power 11 Platinum 650W 
  • GPU: GIGABYTE GeForce RTX 2060 OC 6G 2.0

I hope this is all the information you need. Thanks!

 

EDIT: I live in Belgium and the budget is €1.600 . I'll be buying from https://www.alternate.be/

Forgot a few things, thanks for pointing it out.

msi b450 boards are cheaper and better than this.

don't need a platinum psu. and 550w are enough.

 

with all the savings you can get a rx5700 or a 2060 super.

Thank you. Why the change of RAM if I might ask?

Pcpartpicker has a Belgian option. Most parts should be available on alternate website though.

 

Added a Fractal Meshify case, as you didn't have a case in your list.

Thank you very much, the price certainly looks good. I already have a case, I'm building the pc in his old case.

Ram can be overclocked with the Ryzen dram calculator. You don't have to pay extra for 3600 CL16 if you don't want to. There won't be a huge difference anyway.

If it was a personal build I would probably do that, but I'm not comfortable in overclocking a pc that isn't my own.

It isn't difficult. A 3200MHz CL16 kit is perfectly fine though if you don't want to pay an extra 30 odd Euros for 3600MHz CL16.

 

This Hardware Unboxed video shows you how easy it is though to tune Ram for Ryzen.
