Ryzen 3 ~$1000 Build?

Hey, since Ryzen 3 came out I was messing around on PCPartPicker as I do when I get bored and I came up with this https://pcpartpicker.com/list/KXpjVY I wanted to know if that has any potential or if its really overpriced or anything. I'm not 100% sure about the MoBo or PSU choices I just kinda threw those in there cause there didn't seem to be too many better options but maybe I missed something. I decided to pair it with the 1060 due to a recent video I saw which as far as I can tell showed that any card above that is going to be bottle necked by the CPU. Also just FYI this would be used for gaming mainly. Let me know any suggestions y'all have for the build, also if you can find any of the parts such as the RAM or motherboard that are going to be primarily white or black that would be much better for the look of it preferably without like red lights or anything like that white lights wouldn't be bad though :P , but don't worry about the colors too much though. Thanks in advance! :)

This build looks silly to me.

 

1. For a low end chip (even Intel's), stock cooler is enough. Yes, even if you overclock it.

 

2. For Ryzen, high frequency RAM is more important than high amount of RAM. I'd prefer a 8GB 2800MHz over this (I saw a 16GB 3000MHz at good price)

3. 400W PSU is enough. That G3 is very expensive even for its performance in the first place.

 

If a Ryzen 3 gaming build dont cost less than $500, it's stupid.

Linux is too hard to use. And who wants to spend $30 to get scammed on fake Windows keys. You have to include windows in the price of the build. You can't use the PC otherwise

I know Kyle from BitWit did one just today which showed you don't get much beyond the 1060 with the 1200 when gaming at 1080p.

It was in a recent Bitwit video where he benchmarked Ryzen 3 with 6 different GPUs and after the 1060 the fps in games wouldn't increase any meaningful amount if any.

Also https://pcpartpicker.com/list/D6gTcc Maybe this build would be a bit better?

Price is only a bit over 1k and only because i dropped a 1070 in there... if you go with your 1060, or a used 980/980ti you could bring that back down under 1k easily. Ryzen 3 isn't really "bad" per se, but considering how much you're spending on your system you can afford a lot more than Ryzen 3. Its also worth noting that PSU i have listed has a rebate available from newegg to bring its price down below $50, i just have my pcpartpicker configured not to show them since I don't use them.... buuut its there. Also made sure to give you your black/white and no red going on.... the case also has a white variant for about +$5

Would still up the CPU to a 1600 and drop the 1060 6GB for a used 980Ti at that price :P

I think the Micro ATX board might be a bit awkward in the full ATX case as well as I'm not sure if the drop in PSU quality is worth the extra $35 since that is a pretty crucial component, but I'm no expert with PSUs, and I was trying to target Ryzen 3 specifically, but this does bring up an interesting point with the extra $40 for the extra CPU power and also maybe being able to upgrade the GPU?

With the 1060 and R5 CPU you def. dont need more than 500w PSU. And Evga is pretty good even lower end. :)
