Good build?

Walt

Hi everyone,

My friend is planning on making a game pc and he wants me to help him. We live in the Netherlands and his budget is 900 euro. It's only used for gaming.

 

Is this the best build for the money? (he has all the periphals and has a 1080p monitor)

 

Build:

CPU: Ryzen 5 1600                                                 € 234,99
CPU cooler: stock cooler                                        € 0

Motherboard: Asus prime B350 plus                       € 102,90
RAM: Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB (2400MHz)    € 119,-
HDD: WD yellow 2TB 7200RPM (will he get from me for free)                                       

SSD:  Will he buy later                 

GPU: Radeon RX 480 8GB MSI Armor                    € 255,28
Case: NZXT S340 black and red                              € 69,90            
PSU: Corsair RM550x                                              € 93,95        

In total:                                                                    € 876,02

 

Thanks!

Pretty much... I do advise buying the SSD first and HDD later if you can't go with both together due to the hassle to partition and move OS and all later... 3000mhz of the same corsair vengeance is also advisable since Ryzen takes good performance boost with high frequency and the Asus Prime can run at 2933mhz without any issue.
