I'm planning on building my first pc in a month and a half in early july, I'm mostly going To use IT for gaming and a bit for school.

Budget: €1100

Location: Netherlands

Theme: Black and silver

Current list of components:

Cpu: R5 1600x

Mobo: MSI X370 sli plus

RAM: Crucial ballistix sport lt ddr4 2x8gb 2400mhz

Video card: Auros rx 580 8gb

Case: Cooler master masterbox lite

PSU: Seasonic M12 EVO 620w

HDD: 1TB WD blue

Cooler: Coolermaster hyper 212 turbo

I'm thinking that the cpu is a bit overkill and that I should get a 1600 / 1500x with a cheaper mobo and get an SSD and a 1070 with the extra savings.

Get a 1600, b350 mobo and overclock it. You really need an SSD, if you can for a 1070.

That looks over budget due to GTX 1070, I'd still recommend go for B350 then

From Amazon? Or another site?

Caseking and mindfactory are decent options.

Check out geizhals.de, it's the equivalent of tweakers.net and hardware.info.

 

No experience with amazon so i dunno...

Is 3000Mhz better? The motherboard can handle 3200mhz but I can't find RAM in my price range with 3200mhz.

You can overclock that 3000MHz RAM
