Looks good, you don't need such a big cooler for a Ryzen 7, grab something cheaper like this https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/product/q9QRsY/scythe-mugen-5-512-cfm-cpu-cooler-scmg-5000

We have a NEW and GLORIOUSER-ER-ER PSU Tier List Now. (dammit @LukeSavenije stop coming up with new ones)

You can check out the old one that gave joy to so many across the land here

 

Computer having a hard time powering on? Troubleshoot it with this guide. (Currently looking for suggestions to update it into the context of <current year> and make it its own thread)

Looks pretty amazing, though I'm not sure if you need a D15 to cool a 1700 (depends how much you want to OC)

 

You should consider switching to another PSU, as apparently the failure rate is higher than average compared to other corsair products (that being said, I'm running one right now and it still hasn't blown up).

 

You may wan tto consider a slightly bigger HDD for the budget you have.

Want to know which mobo to get?

Spoiler

Choose whatever you need. Any more, you're wasting your money. Any less, and you don't get the features you need.

 

Only you know what you need to do with your computer, so nobody's really qualified to answer this question except for you.

Changed one thing, the PSU is now a lil higher in quality...when I say a lil, I mean much much much higher ;)

If you want to get a new PSU the RMx, G2, G3 are great choices.

I would buy RM650x PSU instead of that one that you picked.

Even if you ever decide to go for SLI, it will be enough to power your system.

 

For SSD like always ... samsung evo 850 would be my recomendation.

 

And about CPU cooler ... for that money I would rather get dark rock pro. Performs just the same, but more quiet.

But is there an AM4 bracket? And DH15 is actually cooler

Fail haha i have cx600 corsair 

I would upgrade that, not that it would explode but having a good PSU for your system is a good thing for overclocking and what not.

The Scythe Mugen is listed as compatible and I believe it does have its own mounting. :P

You're indeed correct :P 

 

To be fair, I'm pretty sure Noctua sends them out of free versus the couple of euros to get em sent to yah...

Looking at my signature are we now? Well too bad there's nothing here...

https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/user/Czaja400/saved/j9c7P6 so is that rdy to order and its the best price to value i got tho ?

Looks good :) 

 

By the way, it would be a good idea to contact the retailer whether the cooler comes with am4 mounting brackets or not where in the case that they don't come with AM4 mounting brackets, you could maybe contact Noctua a day or two earlier for em allowing you to wait less ;)
