Solid but get the 1600 and OC instead.

1. I would go for a set up with an HDD and SSD, it's so much better

2. The 1600 has a better spec and is marginally more expensive

3. There are so many other mobos for Ryzen that are much cheaper

4. In advance, please use pcpartpicker.com when making a PC list. Just makes everything so much easier for you and me

I picked the 1500x because it was like 10 dollars more than the 1400 

and i kinda dont want to OC because im still new to this.

1- I only have money for either a SSD or HDD

2- 1500x was a really good offer

3-In Mexico the only cheaper is the Asrock and i kinda went for the asus because i think is better build quality and stuff like that

4- I used it but i want to see opinions from real ppl

thanks.

This. Boot from the SSD, you won't believe how much faster it is. Also, get a Corsair modular-series power supply, something around 500W should be more than enough.

OCing is easy just trust me, nailed it first time... like 3 weeks ago

Ah alright I understand. You can get a HDD now and maybe if you save some money up get a 120gb SSD maybe. Best of luck to you!

go the RX 580 its proven to be faster for only just a little bit more and IMO has and better OC capability

Can you recommend me a good corsair psu? I saw some reviews of the VS series and they say they are really bad, also could i buy and evga 450 or 500w?

Yes i think the RX 580 is the way to go, thanks.

If I were you, I'd go with the Corsair SF450 450W. Should be more than enough power, and it's modular. You'll want to go with Corsair's modular supplies over eVGA's regular ones, it will make your cable management SO much easier.

the SF is meant for small form factor cases. and the SF450 doesn't have an adaptor, so that'll add more costs along with the "SFX tax" you get with it. a CX, TX or RMx would have been a cheaper and better choice.

I checked some stores and they dont have the SF psu, is there any other you would reccomend?

corsair CX(grey labels), EVGA B3 and seasonic S/m12ii(albeit old) is a good budget choice.

Corsair SF is good, but impractical. It is of SFX form factor, whereas the case requires a standard PS/2 form factored PSU. You cannot mount that PSU in the case they are getting without a $10 adaptor plate.

 

What PSU should they get? Corsair CX450 and CX450M are both good budget units, without looking, I'd assume they are very reasonably priced and I know @Energycore has the CX450M and they are from Mexico.

So you would totally go for the CX instead of the evga?

you mean ATX PSU lol

 

Corsair CX450M (GRAY not GREEN) is a good option, so is the Seasonic S12ii or M12ii.

Gray is newer and much higher quality, the green units had issues
