Hi, can anyone give me advice on this configuration that I would like to assemble myself (this is the first time)?
I would like to know if these components are compatible with each other, if they can give errors and if assembly is difficult.
The use would be office and leisure, with occasional gaming, but which is also an investment for a few years.
Budget $800 less than discounts and special occasions.

 

Case: Cooler Master MasterBox Q300L
Mobo: MSI B450M MORTAR MAX Micro-ATX
CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 3600
GPU: Nvidia GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER (any version)
SSD: Sabrent Rocket 256GB NVMe M.2

RAM: Crucial Ballistix 16GB (8GB x2) DDR4 3000 MHz
PSU: Corsair VS550

 

I chose this case because I want a small and silent configuration when it is not under stress.
Furthermore, I don't care that it is aesthetically beautiful, in fact I don't want RGB.
I already have a sata HDD where I can install games and programs.
Does the GTX 1660 Super fit in size? Is Mobo ok for future upgrades?
Thanks

Yeah, build is pretty good otherwise but the PSU may be a little flaky. The EVGA GD series is also pretty good, but if you are considering ease of building you might want to choose something modular.

 

You might want to bump that RAM to at least 3200MHz since Ryzen likes fast memory.

 

If you are willing to you can also probably get a used GPU that will perform better and/or cost less, like a 1070Ti. The 1660 Super is still a good card if you prefer buying new though, so no worries there.

 

If you can wait it out you should probably hold out until the Ryzen 4000 series launch, which at the very least should drop prices for the 3600.

For RAM, oh yes thank you I will buy 3200Mhz for about 5$ more.
For CPU, yes I know the coming launch of Ryzen 4000 series, in fact I wait the price drop of 3600.
My mobo is compatible with 4000 series? Or maybe in future it will?
