RYZEN 5 Gaming Build

[Ryois]

Hello, I want to build a new gaming PC. I have a budget of around 1500$ USD and I have started this list. https://pcpartpicker.com/user/Ryois/saved/GRVhMp

No Intel CPU change please and I am okay with a GTX 1070 if you suggest a better 1070 I will consider it. Thanks!

EDIT: Yes I need the WiFi card the place where I am putting this PC does not have ethernet.

Switch the M.2 ssd which is completely useless, get a sata and upgrade to a 1080. You'll still be within 1500$ with a much better experience.

Change PSU to a Seasonic M12II 520w Bronze, Get a SanDisk SSD 240gb g26 instead.

 

With this you save enough money to get at least a 3200mhz ram which Ryzen Does need due to Infinity Fabric.

Currently I have a M.2 ssd and I have used a SATA SSD and I need the extra performance for Davinci Resolve and CC in the future.

Well the thing is... that is a normal M.2 SATA 3 SSD, it is not NVMe so you're just paying an overprice for a small sized component that you don't need as this is a regular sized build.

 

You need NVMe M.2 to get performance improvements and even so aside synthetic loads the real life performance will be the same, CC will not see worthy enough improvements in my personal opinion.

 

But then again it's your money I just give my opinion.

I do not want a SATA ssd, I want an asus mobo, for cable management I do not like that PSU, and I like the case I choose.

I will consider a GTX 1080 now.. maybe

yeah... and I don't want asus mobos for rgb I like their boards and bios better

[Ryois]

Upon looking at the mobo I choose I see that it DOSEN'T support DDR4-3200 and I need that speed for the RYZEN

If you're comfortable spending that much on a motherboard, its a good option
