Ryzen 5 1600X build

[Toyshikate]

Hello everybody.

 

I would like to ask for advice.

 

I am looking up to build a new semi-decent PC mainly used for gaming and everyday use.

 

I've been looking around PC part picker and finished with this monstrosity.

I want any feedback be it good or bad and i am welcome if somebody would like to help me choose alternatives to parts mentioned in the upper link..

 

Thank you in advance.

 

Have a nice day.

Don't get the 1600X, get the 1600, it is just as good and it is cheaper

Do you have a download of windows 10 already and you might want to add a hard drive for larger storage for things like photos and videos

1. Pay the extra 18 ish USD to get the 850 Evo, its only a couple of dollars for a really good SSD.
2. Please don't get the NEX G1 PSU, its awful (source: http://www.overclock.net/t/1476935/why-you-should-not-buy-an-evga-supernova-nex650g-750g-aka-g1 ). Get the EVGA G2/Corsair RMx instead 
3. Get a 3200 MHz RAM kit, they are only a couple of dollars more expensive than the kit you chose in the list.

I already own 4TB seagate HDD and windows 10 copy. So that won't issue

Honestly I would stay away from MSi... their products line ups have really decreased in quality lately, they have been solely investing in gaming marketing... the amount of complains about MSi products and costumers service has been increasing here at the forum lately.

 

Asus for motherboard and Sapphire/XFX for the GPU would be safer bets.

 

Ryzen sees A lot of benefit with higher frequency ram, I personally advise something like the Corsair Vengeance 3000mhz because it offers great cost-to-benefice in my experience, but 3200mhz frequency RAM would be ideal.

 

A Kingston SSDNow? Is that a joke? : https://www.extremetech.com/extreme/184253-ssd-shadiness-kingston-and-pny-caught-bait-and-switching-cheaper-components-after-good-reviews Kingston SSDs should be avoided at all cost, basically to short up the article they sent Awesome built SSDs for reviewers like Linus to get good marketing but end up selling a totally different much crappier hardware to the normal consumers, change it for the Crucial MX300, Samsung Evo 850 or should you need to cheap up on it at least the SanDisk Plus G26.

 

like @PCGuy_5960 mentioned, there hardly is any gain going with the 1600x, the important part on the ryzen 5 line up is get the 6c/12t variant so the 1600 would suffice.

 

PSU wise the EVGA G2/3 is a better pick [:

Sapphire and XFX don't make Nvidia cards and he has chosen a 1060  For Nvidia, I would recommend, ASUS, EVGA or Gigabyte.

Be very careful what ram you get higher frequency ram is less compatible make sure you check if it will work.

Looks good. However, I recommend you get a different PSU, the NEX isn't the best and you can get superior quality for more or less the same price. Also, do not get the H60 CPU cooler. 120/140mm all-in-one coolers are a waste of money and from my own experience this one in particular performs very poorly...and loudly. I recommend looking into a decent air cooler instead or spend extra money on a 240mm all-in-one.

I believe you have a great build, but I think you could do some upgrades. I though this might be a good base model. that ssd of yours is really limiting, i suggust a 128 or 256. i went with a 64gb and got a gtx 1070, 2tb of space, and faster ram. (ryzen really benefits off high RAM speeds.) I just beleive you could make this a lot better.
