PSU pretty bad, and that AIO is worse than a lot of air coolers.

 

What's your country?

Interested in computer architecture? Still in middle or high school? P.M. me!

 

I love computer hardware and feel free to ask me anything about that (or phones). I especially like SSDs. But please do not ask me anything about Networking, programming, command line stuff, or any relatively hard software stuff. I know next to nothing about that.

Neither of these statements are true. The PSU is not bad, at all, and the MasterLiquid 240 performs similarly to other 240mm AIO's.

The PSU is not "junky". Don't spread misinformation.

 

OP - I'd get something like this instead;

Saved about 150e. No need for an AIO for Ryzen, a half decent air cooler is more than enough, plus this air cooler will be quieter than an AIO. No real need to get an expensive X370 motherboard, but you can if you want. Or another B350 alternative;

https://de.pcpartpicker.com/product/2pnG3C/gigabyte-ga-ab350-gaming-3-atx-am4-motherboard-ga-ab350-gaming-3

Nicer/better case included, and it has a tempered glass window. Get the CM V650 if it's priced better than this SeaSonic unit, but this SeaSonic unit is a good alternative. Since I've managed to save you 150e, you could maybe even put some of that towards a larger SSD if you wanted.

Worse PSU than he originally had, smaller HDD, worse SSD, and a pretty bad GTX 1070. Plus, you don't even know what resolution or refresh rate OP is gaming at, a GTX 1070 could be a total waste. Oh, and worse RAM, especially for Ryzen.

Thought it was a VS unit my bad :P 

 

Weird though, other tests show the Masterliquid 240 pro not being as good.

Cooler Master's VS units are fine. It's Corsair VS units that are trash.

 

That PCPer review shows the MasterLiquid performing similarly to the H100i GTX.

 

RAM is iffy with Ryzen, varies from motherboard to motherboard with different RAM kits but I imagine OP should be able to get 2933MHz or 3000MHz fine with a 3000MHz kit. Which is definitely much better than 2400MHz.

Yup realized that too late

 

Thought it was the not GTX one at first :/ looks like the masterliquid pros are fine.

 

Not how it works, it's usually dependent on the mobo instead. The only kits that are usually guaranteed to reach 2933 are those with b die. A lot of 3000 or 3200 mhz kits can only reach 2400 or 2666 on ryzen.
