$1500-ish Ryzen build

anything I should change?

not sure about the RX 580 though, since it's out of stock everywhere

I might switch the case since I'm still thinking about getting a s340 elite or a p400s tg, or just abandon tempered glass completely

1. If your SSD is only a boot drive, some smaller-capacity but faster Samsung NVMe SSD will be better.

2. RX series graphics cards are all bought by miners, so you won't be able to find one now. A 1060 6GB is the equivalent of it.

3. G3 750W psu is overkill, unless you want to fit a 1080ti in it later on.

1. I'll put some software like blender and adobe premiere inside the SSD, I fear it will run out of space as time goes

2. I'm trying to fit an amd card to this build so I can utilize Freesync on the monitor, getting a nvidia card might be the last thing I'll do

3. I have no idea what psu to get, any suggestion? I read that it's easier to work on a modular psu so i picked the one people recommended

adobe after effects, premiere, blender, coding and gaming ( don't need anything too much for games, just anything that looks good for your average joe )

I picked the 1700 at first for multitasking, I have trouble doing many stuff at once on my laptop, is the 1600 good enough for that?

Yes, it has 6 cores which will bee good for multitasking purposes. The Ryzen 5 1600 is in between an i5 and i7 when it comes to performance.

1. Run out of space for storing projects? Use HDD space is better in terms of saving money. Adding RAM also help in these software. Though it's your system and it's your choice.

2. Then you will have to postpone your build. You are not getting any new AMD card in this cryptocurrency craze.

3.If you aren't going to get multi-GPU setups then a 550W psu will do the job, like this one

If you are going multi-GPU then your original pick is good.

1. I think you're right, I feel a 250 gigs ssd would be more than enough, any good 250 GB ssd that doesn't break the bank?

2. yeah, it looks like I'll be waiting for vega

3. I just thought that a 750W would be more 'flexible' for any upgrades in the future

what would I lose going from a 1600 to a 1700?

Cons: A bit slower on rendering, editing as such. No effect on gaming at all.

Pros: Save a bit of money.

 

For your reference, a 1600 at 3.8Ghz scores about 1250 in Cinebench R15 while 1700 at 3.9GHz scores 1650. That means the 1700 is about 30% faster than a 1600 in these rendering work. If you don't overclock though, the difference should be about 20%.

sorry if I get this wrong, but doesn't Ryzen work better with RAMs with higher frequencies?

it'll perform better with faster ram, but 2800mhz is already good enough.

The EVGA Supernova G3 is good but you don't need 750W.

1600 can do Streaming while gaming better than i5-6600K, and 1700 is better than those

oh man, the 1600 vs 1700 looks like a tough call, since I won't know what I needed until I have my hands on it, I'll be doing a lot of 3D modelling and coding in the future, the 1700 surely would be better in those, but I doubt it would be significant enough to justify the price

what're the drawbacks on going with a semi modular? would it affect anything in the building process? I'm kinda intimidated since it's my first time

Semi modular has detachable cables that may help you optimizing the airflow in your system. 

 

fully modular tells another story, all cables in it can be detached even the important ones that maybe newbies will struggle are they already plugged in correctly

 

and i like that psu (my recommendation)

I made a new build list, and I'm taking your psu recommendation, only I'll be opting for the 650W variant ( which doesn't exist in Pcpartpicker, so I'll just place the 550W variant ) ,

also, about your monitor recommendation, I could get the 24 inch variant at the same price as my previous pick, which do you think is a better choice?

Actually there is the 650W option of that PSU but not really worth the price for now, stay getting in the 550W one. And i like this build! It is so amazing dude!
