Haven't built a pc in a very long time, checking if this build looks fine.

TwistedSoul

Budget (including currency): Around 1000 USD

Country: USA

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Warzone, Battlefield, cyberpunk, emulation, just about everything old and new. Maybe experiment with light video editing and CAD. 

 

I'm thinking of using my current R7 370 gpu as a placeholder until a 3060ti or 3070 becomes available for near regular pricing. 1080p monitor with plans to upgrade to 1440p 144hz one later on in the year. 

 

The drive is small but was planning on splitting it in half and using half for cache for a 2TB hdd laying around. 

 

The case, mainly picked for the usb type c front panel connection, I don't care about looks or rgb much. 

 

Is this fine? I'm afraid I'm missing something, cheap upgrade or better alternatives, that would be obvious to the people here that have kept up with current technology. IDE drives were the main connections inside a pc last time I built one.

It's almost the perfect system for a under 1000 build, except with that budget, I would recommend you going 3600Mhz on your RAM, as that will bump up your performance on Ryzen platform

changed the list so you have a better case, SSD, and PSU. 

 

geometry is hard
b550 > x570

Okay thank you and everyone else. Like I mentioned I picked the case mainly for the good front panel options (usb-c) but if its a choice between performance or good I/O at this price point... rather have good performance. 

 

Any reason the ram was changed or just a preference to crucial?

It has a better internal building ( infinity fabric in case you are wondering the term for it ) so it can hold it's clock longer, and even allow you to overclock it if you wanted to

Well I wish I read this before pulling the trigger lol

 

Ordered what Downkey tweaked the partlist to, except upped the original g.skill ripjaws memory I had listed to a pair of 3600mhz rated ones. If I ever upgrade to more ram I'll go with crucial ballistix. 

 

Thanks again everyone!

 

Now just to build it and wait for a 3060ti or 3070 at msrp-ish price.
