  • Get a better power supply.
  • Save money- get the Ryzen 5 1400 instead an overclock it. A 1500x is just an overclocked 1400 anyway.
  • Save some money by getting a 120GB boot SSD instead of a 250GB drive.
  • With the money you save, upgrade to a vastly more powerful GTX 1070. 

Result- far better operformance in every way and reliability for the same price.

3200 ain't worth the extra, and the 3000 kit probably overclocks to 3200.
