**Semi-Noob Builder**

[ThaKingSpartan]

After dabbling with PC's for some time (random "small" upgrades); and spending countless years following and watching LTT on Youtube. I've finally gotten to a point where i feel comfortable attempting a self-built machine. Below will be a list of my chosen parts. I am hoping maybe there will be someone who might have some tips for a first-timer attempting a build. Btw, my name is Josh. Pleasure to meet all of you. (Be Gentle lmao i had a limited budget.)

Case     : AeroCool Cylon (RGB Mid Tower w/Acrylic Side Window)

Board    : Asus ROG Strix B450-F
PSU      : EVGA 110-BQ-0600-K1 (600W, Semi Modular)

CPU      : Ryzen 5 3400G

RAM     : 32GB Ram (2x 16GB Vengeance LPX DDR4)
Storage : 250GB SSD (for OS/Boot) / 1T SSD Games/Software / 1T HDD for Files/Docs   (PC will be used for both "business" (WebDev) and some "low" Gaming)

My Temporary meaning: Slightly over my pre-decided budget. Just have to save a little more for the a cooling solution id like. (may not even need it if the stock cooler performs well enough)

3200MHz; not sure what CL is. The amount of ram is mainly for the Web Dev portion, as i usually end up with multiple programs running on dual screens...

stock cooling is fine for your specs

hmm... not sure how well zen+ handles 3200MHz, could always lower it if it's causing issues

well if you can justify having 32GB then that's fine, just asking because most people wants it, but doesnt need it

 

the other parts looks ok

would pick a better airflow case, but if you like the looks then it's fine too

your pc shouldnt run too hot
