Other details

AMD Ryzen 5 3600 3.6 GHz 6-Core Processor

MSI B450 TOMAHAWK MAX ATX AM4 Motherboard

Corsair Vengeance LPX 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR4-3000 Memory   Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1660 6 GB GAMING OC Video Card

i just bought the GTX 1660

the R5 3600 and B450 tomahawk are the next 2 for the upgrade, but would this work good together?

 

for what i can find this would be a nice setup for my pc.

I'd recommend faster ram, 3200Mhz minimum, but you can get 3600Mhz dirt cheap. Other than that it's pretty solid.

why would you recommend faster ram?

i'd get a x570 board, so that you can upgrade to 4000 series.

Because Ryzen runs better on fast ram, and 3600Mhz is the sweet spot for Ryzen.

 

It will run faster and get you increased performance.

Probably not load times but faster ram does improve gaming performance.

You don't need 3600MHz Ram if it is going to cost more money. The difference isn't that much anyway between 3200 and 3600.

 

This G.Skill 3200MHz CL16 kit is 83 Euros.

That is CL18 and also a UK link. The cheapest 3600MHz CL16 is 115 Euros so not worth the extra money over the 83 Euro 3200MHz CL16 kit.

The MSI X470 Gaming Plus MAX or cheaper MSI B450-A PRO MAX are ok.

You lose Ryzen 4000 support (Unless the MAX boards get a bios update which is down to AMD) but you still have the 3700X, 3900X and 3950X as an upgrade path, so not really a big deal.

If you want to get decent ram for under 100usd get 16gb 3600mhz cas latency g.skill Ripjaws ram for like 85 usd if I’m right but I’m unsure on currency or some Corsair vengeance lpx 16gb 3600mhz with cas latency 18 either of these rams are decent and are not overpriced either

Just make sure you can get an x570 if possible so u have more room to upgrade later on... I have seen the MSI Performance Gaming X570-A Pro on sale lately.
