CPU/MoBo/RAM

Would be my suggestion.

Ryzen 5 would be a good safe bet

[PCGuy_5960]

Get a Ryzen 5 CPU with a B350 motherboard and 3000MHz RAM.

[Colin Donoghue]

it that supposed to be 1866 MHz memory

[Djinn]

Do you guys think something like this is over kill?

 

[Colin Donoghue]

are you using it for gaming and what currency are you using

It's actually 1333 MHz, 666MHz x DoubleDataRate.

Nothing is if you have the money to spend on it. lol
But you are on the right track for what you should upgrade.

You do look like you have a fat wallet.
That's what we are hear for.

I would double check that RAM is Ryzen compatible.  I know the Flare X series from Gskill is but I am not sure on the Corsair Dominator ... Ryzen has issues with certain ram

 

Unless you need the extras on that motherboard, a B350 will be less expensive and can still overclock.

 

If you are planning on overclocking, go with the 1700 rather than the 1700x.

 

The parts you have are good, I would just double check the ram is compatible with Ryzen.  Otherwise it just depends on what you want to spend your money on, your parts are better than the ones I listed above but do not necessarily make a performance difference.

 

 

EDIT:  your ram is good, ignore my first part

I was looking for a Ryzen cpu and I thought the Ryzen 5 1600x was a good choice because it is cheap and looks like it has good performance

you could break your monitor and just buy a new one if your wallet was fat enough

[Djinn]

I think this will be my upgrade any corrections always welcome of course


EDIT: im assuming my corsair h100i v2 will fit the ryzen

The 580 or 1060 will soon come but for now CPU Ram i think are my weak points iv had this 8350 since release but again much appreciated for the suggestion!

Does your cooler have am4 socket brackets because you might need to order them and some coolers will ship you them for free or you just need to pay for shipping and handling

the stock Wraith cooler is quite good.  If you are not overclocking there isn't much reason to change it except for aesthetics.

ahh i really wasent expecting a stock cooler to be worth using tbh all past AMD coolers have been very loud and distracting

its probably worth getting the AIO to work because you paid for it and you might be able to do small overclocking on the cpu with it which would be that hard to do
