My first build. Looking for feedback and suggestions

[MatserOfKludge]

Budget: ~$1000 CAD

Country: Canada

Aim: Light e-sport games, code compilation, web browsing, general computing.

Peripherals & Monitors: I already have a monitor, mouse, and keyboard. I use Linux so a Windows key is not required.

Why I am upgrading: My 8 year old laptop is not longer suitable for my needs.

Connectivity: I will require WiFi (and Bluetooth preferably) so either a different motherboard or a WiFi card will be required.

Storage: I already have drives for my applications and other data. All I need is a fast and reliable M.2 for my OS.

are you going to use this pc for anything but gaming? like editing photos if not 32gb ram is overkill 16gb at 3600 is what i have and i usually dont go past 11gb

Went for a better PSU, in case you want to add a full GPU later. There are some cheaper 80+ Bronze options for sure, but I wouldn't go with that Corsair CV psu. More like a Corsair CFX or Cooler Master 80+ Bronze PSU.

Added a wireless adapter.

Upgraded ram, upgraded psu, upgraded storage, added cooler. Cheaped out on the mobo and case

 

Board has been cut down to a pro4, it should still ram oc fine anyways

 

Cheaper and better airflow case

 

Added a cooler to keep the cpu cool and let it turbo higher and also have loads of headroom for igpu oc

 

Rams upgraded to ballistix cause high ocability even on 32gb sticks due to micron dies and single rank

 

Best value psu i could find, its only 600w tho

 

Upgraded ssd to a decently fast 1tb sn750

 

 

For tuning the apu so it runs at its fastest clock the igpu to 2400-2500mhz with volt ~1.35-1.4v

 

Rams wise just clock the balls off them with cl18 timings, have a look at buildzoid ballistix oc vids for a guide on high freq oc on ballistix (4500+), you dont wanna decouple the fclk cause apus do ~2100-2400fclk
