800 euros gaming - slight productivity PC

[PaNdRaGoN]

So I have 800 euros and i want a new system. What do you think about this?

 

AMD Ryzen 5 1500x

MSI B350M GAMING PRO

G.Skill Aegis 16GB Dual channel 3000Mhz

Gigabyte Windforce GTX 1050Ti 4GB

SSD OCZ 240GB

PSU Corsair CX550M

Case SUPERCASE 250 USB 3.0 black/red window

Get a R5 1400 and RX 470/570

This would be a very good work pc, for gaming it would be good but still not the BEST

Good, except MSI mobos don't play well with RAM speeds on Ryzen as of yet, so an Asus or ASRock one will be best if you can't wait for MSI to fix the memory speed problems.

Get a 430 or 530w seasonic II psu and get a 1600 instead of the 1500x

Defo a good choice, but RX GPUs can be hard to get or more expensive because of the mining craze.

Yeah that sucks, I'd definitely try to aim for a 1060 though, but if that's out of the question the 1050ti will provide a good experience at 1080p

Ok so I swapped out the 1500x for the 1400 then replaced the 16GB of ram with 8 at 2400Mhz changed the PSU to Corsair VS450 the MOBO to a low end ASUS one (ASUS PRIME A320M-K RETAIL) that just gets the job done and fitted in a GTX 1060 6GB ASUS as well with dual fans...what do you think?

Get a Corsair CX450m, it's worth the extra bit of cash, trust me. Make sure you look at the grey label one, not the green label. 

Other than that it looks good.

It is unavailable in my local stores...really I don't see any other branded PSU at around 50 euros with 450W

Alright then, it should be fine. Definitely get a better one later if you're upgrading anything.

Better, but you can't overclock the Ryzen 5 1400 on an A320 board. You'd need a B350 board to OC.

I may upgrade in the near future the RAM...does the OC on the 1400 worth it? Does it make any noticeable difference? (stock wraith cooler)

Yes. I know you can get most Ryzens to around 4GHz pretty easily, and the stock cooler it includes is a perfectly good cooler for OC, especially as the 1400 is only a 65w TDP. 

 

EDIT: from a few reviews on Newegg, the 1400 can get to 3.8-3.9 on air cooling without much kafuffle. 

 

Also, I believe the 1500X has more cache, but I don't know how much that affects performance. I'm going for a 1400 or R5 1600 for my upgrade, depending on what I can afford at the time of purchase.

Ok...I think that the 1060 will be a better choice than the 1500x since gaming is the main reason of building it. Thank you all for replying

Yeah, the 1060 will defo effect the gaming performance more than a slightly better CPU.
