PC Build for a friend

[iiSnewoNL]

Good day everyone! I'm currently helping a friend with getting a new selfbuilt PC for the first time and I needed feedback from you? I'm currently shopping for PC parts.

 

So I currently have this:

CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 2600X 3.6 GHz 6-Core Processor                        - €130 euros

Motherboard: Gigabyte B450M DS3H Micro ATX AM4 Motherboard -  €150

  +  ASUS PCE-AC51 AC750 Wi-FI card                                              -  €34

                                                                                                            = €160

RAM: Corsair Vengeance LPX Black 16GB DDR4-3000 CL15            -  €87

Storage: Kingston A2000 1TB                                                            - €138

GPU: GPU: PNY GTX 1660 Super 6GB                                               - €248

Case: Cooler Master MasterBox MB520 RGB Midi Tower                   - €85

PSU: PSU Seasonic Focus GX-550                                                    - €91

Monitor: AOC AOC G2460VQ6                                                         - €150

Total price: ~€1089

 

The prices are either from amazon.fr or from another website. I got the prices from the friend. He is french if that is relevant to say for the prices.

 

So the budget actually is €800-900 euros but yeah due to this corona period, the prices are high so I might wait a little and save more as well.

 

So here a few things I think that could be improved:

- RAM

The RAM I'm getting has 3000 Mhz as ram speed, but I see that the mobo only supports 2400 MHz, 2133 MHz, 2667 MHz, 2933 MHz, 3200 MHz(O.C.). I don't know if it would go down to 2933 Mhz when going to the profiler. I think I should get another ram sticks?

 

- WI-FI Card

I don't know if there are better and cheaper WI-FI cards out there, but this came with a combo of the motherboard.

 

What do you think of this build? Any advice is welcome!

 

Regards,

SSD: get an Crucial MX500 from Meggeko

 

case:Look at the Phanteks P300A Mesh from MEGGEKO it's a bit cheaper and has great airflow

MOBO: and try looking at the MSI B450 A-PRO MAX its like 100 Euro

 

RAM: The Team T-Force Vulcan Z DDR4-3000 CL16 its cheaper and a bit faster

Hiya!

 

I don't really know if the MX500 1TB is a good choice. The read and write speed is significantly different.

 

The MB520 RGB is actually a need. And I've seen some reviews (in dutch) saying the airflow wasn't really great.

The mobo seems to be nice indeed!

 

I don't know for the ram though. The Team T-Force Vulcan Z DDR4-3000 CL16 CAS latency is 16 and single while the Corsair's is CL15 and dual.
