Any recommendations on my Ryzen Build?

Better allocation of your funds imo, no need for the X model CPU and no need for the X370 chipset. If you cut those and overclock on the B350 board look at what you can get:

You can do mild 700-800 MHz overclocks with ease on the wraith spire RGB stock cooler. I didn't change your M.2 SSD even though it is unnecessary and won't speed up boots or games (they are only good for file transfers really). I swapped your RAM to one that will run at its rated speed on Ryzen, bumped you all the way up to a GTX 1080 and a 1440p IPS monitor. I left your case choice as it was as that is entirely personal preference.

Hi everyone! I am new to this community and i think now it's perfect to post my upcoming build in June maybe?

1. Location and Budget

Actually i want to have a PC below $600, because of obsession i am now maximum $1600 (can add some cents and few bucks). Now for the location i am currently in Indonesia so the currency is Rp (IDR)

 

2. Aim

My friends are inviting me to a YouTube Channel group that produce non gaming videos, so i decided to make this PC as a YouTube Workstation and the most important, Gaming.

 

Gaming for now is in 1080p High and above, but i won't touch 1440p because the budget limitations. Racing games and free roam games is what i like. Also i will take care of Special Syncs later. And Maybe the heaviest game that i can afford is Mass Effect: Andromeda (anyways is it a Mature Game?)

 

3. Monitors

I am currently in a Dell monitor that's old, now i want that budget (in my mind) monitor LG 25UM58-P.

No dual monitor setup for now

 

4. Peripherals

I already have three keyboards and mouse, from Logitech and old unknown brands. I need Windows 10, though

 

5. Reason for Upgrading

I have two sets of LGA 775 PC and i really want to upgrade, one i already broke it down and get:

160GB HDD

Pixelview GF9400GT

Unknown Core 2 Duo

Asus motherboard in DDR3

So yeah why not a Ryzen nowadays?

 

Here's the list of what am i getting:https://pcpartpicker.com/user/Ordinarily_great/saved/ygpJxr

 Thank you community!

I would get a cheaper CPU cooler and spend more on your PSU. Last thing you want with all your expensive components is for them to be fried :/ 

 

Specs:

CPU: i5-6500 3.2 GHz Mobo: ASRock H110M-HDV RAM: Corsair Vengeance LPX 8GB 2133 MHz DDR4 GPU: GTX 1070 Founders Edition Storage: 120GB Sandisk Ultra II 1 TB WD HDD 7200 RPM PSU: Antec VP600P 600W Display: CrossOver 2795QHD 2560x1440 105 Hz OC OS: Windows 10 64 bit

X370 isn't the only overclocking chipset but are you going to be SLI'ing in the future if not save some money and get a B350 and an R5 1500 or R5 1600 would be fine and you would be able to save some more for a better gpu like the RX 580

Im mostly on discord now and you can find me on my profile

Is there any good reason for getting 2x 1 tb drives? Seagate also produces 2 tb baracuda drives... And they are cheaper when looking at gb/$.

 

I can imagine why you would want 2 drives. Back-ups and failsafe. But do you really need that, and are you going to use them in that way? It will your case fill up moar, reducing upgradability.

It never hurts to have an overkill CPU cooler. In the past, I had a CPU cooler which was moar expencive then my CPU itself. Kept temps really nice, and when the cooler was filled with dust (zero airflow) it would still not thermal throttle. (just run at high temps)

Terrible allocation of funds imo... Look what I got with the same money :P Also never buy a Ryzen X model and sounds like 50% of the job of this PC will be workstation so he should get a 1700.

I'd say drop the cpu to a 1700, get rid of the NH-D15, change the 2x1TB to a 1x2TB drive also change the x370 to a B350 (practically the same for your use). Then with the money saved you could either buy a better gpu now or even buy an RX 570/470 and save for vega that should be coming out within a month or 2.

Well i would get a GTX 1070 later, no crossfire or SLI but might come in handy

Why a 1070? On your budget I got a 1080 in there.
