Best $700 AMD Ryzen build?

[PCFirstTimer980]

I've been looking for a good-looking, but affordable AMD Ryzen build. I'm planning on buying the parts at some point, but I would like to know the best build for $700. I obviously want a Ryzen CPU as part of it, I already have a good cooler, and a power supply, so that could give a little extra money to spend. I would like a good case recommendation also, something that looks good, but isn't super expensive, I'm not too picky on anything else, just the case.

What do you want to use it for?

What cooler and PSU do you have? Do you have the proper fittings for the cooler?

I have a Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo, and I would be fine with getting a new cooler and PSU. The PSU I have is pretty crappy, so it probably wouldn't be the best thing to use.

Awesome. What games do you play?

I play Overwatch most of the time, some CIv V, Heroes of the Storm, but I've been wanting to play games like Prey and more newer games, but on my current system they don't look too good, I'm not worried about the quality, but I don't want it to look terrible.

Your fine with the 212 EVO. You might just have to search up the correct bracket for it.

Good setup, except i'm questioning the choice in GPU. Why not get an 8gb 480? 4gb of VRAM is cutting it a bit close.

? 4's fine for what he's doing. Also, that'd put it too far over.

Quoted the wrong person haha . And true, but it'd be better to spend a little extra and get the extra 4gb of VRAM.

Thanks. I'm probably going to get the parts this summer and build it, I'll make sure to make a log on it. I hope I can get the money together to get the parts, this looks way better than my current build. Thanks again.

I highly recommend 2X 4GB RAM rather than 1X 8GB.... Ryzen LOVES dual channel RAM and is much much faster with it...
