Welcome to the forum!

About your build:

• You don't need a 750w PSU, 500/550w would still be ample
• Make sure the memory is on the vendors QVL list
• If you can afford it, get an SSD
• I'd skip the liquid cooler and try to spring for a 1060

If you have a tight budget, this build looks great, but if you are willing to spend some more money, i would highly recommend getting a better cpu and a 1080 from amazon if you can find it at 500$.

Looks okay, but I'd probably get a 1600 instead of 1400, and higher clocked ram (3000-3200). You don't need the NZXT cooler, since the ryzen stockcooler handles temps pretty well and looks sleek. So, from the money you save, get either a better cpu or ram

What's your overall budget? Might be able to make better suggestions but based on what you had I made some tweaks:

Edit:

Left out the wireless adapter because the one you've got is good enough.

If you're willing to go into the used market, look for a 980 or 980Ti

The 980 can be had for around $175 and will double the performance of the 1050Ti

The 980Ti is going to run around $300 but is an option. Once we get budget, more targeted recommendations can be made

lol this is a troll right? if they are buying a r5 1400 and a gtx 1050ti they clearly cant afford a gtx 1080.

I didn't mean to troll, it's just i have a 1050ti and realized that if i had just saved up a little more i could of easily gotten a 1080. 

[HZapperz]

Also if you have 30 extra dollars i would recommend getting the 1500x, its base clock is at 3.5 ghz

yes but you cant do much with a 1080 unless you also spend the extra money on a better monitor and a better cpu which is alot of money to save up. they would be much better off just saving a little bit more for something like a gtx 1060 6 gb.

and it has a better stock cooler.

Made an edit but I'll put it in a separate post too.

 

If they're willing to go used, a used 980 can be had for just a bit more than the 1050Ti and provide much more performance.

Need more info from OP though before we can make too many recommendations.

if you give us a budget for your build we can find the best build for the price based on your use case. what is your use case anyways? I usually assume its primarily gaming but that isn't always the case.

I'll stand by my build suggestions above but suggest looking into a used GTX 980 or 980Ti instead of the 1050Ti.

[Guest]

Ok
