New Build help

[Sandman32]

Budget (including currency): US $1200

Country: US

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: 4k HTPC some 1080P Gaming

Other details (existing parts lists, whether any peripherals are needed, what you're upgrading from, when you're going to buy, what resolution and refresh rate you want to play at, etc): I want to retire my current HTPC to run as a file server, and home automation hub.  I do not need, key board, mouse, monitor, speakers, etc.  I'd like to order this weekend, so things that are in stock and available to order now would be great.

 

Edit to add parts lists I'm looking at currently.  Also seen a few posts down.

for 1080p gaming even older GPUs will work perfectly fine. But for HTPCs, you want a really good CPU so something from AMDs 5th gen ryzen would be fantastic. 

 

I would recommend:

AMD 5600X

B550 mobo

16gb 3200mhz ram

your choice of storage (minimum 250gb ssd)

gtx 1070 (or better if budget allows)

500W 80+ PSU

your choice of a case

Awesome thanks you!  With the 5600x being out of stock, and not wanting to hunt for it till they become more available, what would you recommend if I wasn't wanting to wait?

Hey Guys, how would this build be?  I know I'd be better off hunting for the new Ryzen CPUs and the new Nvidia or Radeon GPUs, but if I want to buy this weekend is this a good build?

The Ryzen XT processors are too expensive compared to the non-XT variant. they provide 1-2% more perf for 15% more money. Do not get the 3600XT
