I want to go AMD Ryzen, M.2 Boot Drive, not just 2.5" and that case.

[EPPHO]

That's more towards high-end

[Cajmo]

That's more towards high-end

I could drop the RGB cooling or just go to Corsair, but that has slightly less RGB

I'd say drop that Asus ROG mobo for Asrock Taichi X370, it has Wi-Fi included. And probably drop that Kraken X52 for Cryorig H7 Quad Lumi (which will be released this month, $60)

Why M.2?

Doesn't improve boot times, primarily sequential reads and writes which is close to useless for a low cap system drive

I don't want 8 cores, I'm never going to use them.

[Zaki_Owais]

Wut? Why?

[Zaki_Owais]

Just now, Its Not Important said:

Exactly

[Cajmo]

4 cores will do gaming, 6 for light video editing. I'm not going to be streaming, and if I do, it will be far enough in the future that I can just swap it out for a Ryzen 7. If you compare my current system to this. My current on cost me over £2000.

Why don't just do it now if the budget is possible?

Well which Ryzen 7. The 1700 or the 1700X

1700X if possible, higher clock speed out of the box 

[Cajmo]

I plan on overclock. On the first build. Hence the ASUS board.

Then go with 1700 if you don't mind to OC yourself, and Gigabyte GA-AX370 Gaming K7 isn't a bad board too (it has more RGB if thats your fetish & cheaper)
