Ryzen 5 build request

[mechahitler45]

I recently decided a Ryzen CPU is a lot more affordable and sensible for my needs and my budget. I am only going to be gaming and was unsure if I should choose the 1500x and save money or if I should make the jump to the 1600 for the 6 cores and 12 threads. I will be playing at 1080p so a gtx 1060 will suit my needs. I dont know which to get though I have heard good things about Gigabyte and PNY models. I already have peripherals so I just need the system and a monitor, dont worry about OS. My budget is $800 though i can spend up to $950. If you have any advice or think I should change my mind on a graphics card or CPU let me know This will be my first build so I am open to any and all help.

just re read the original post, OP could do both (8gb ram + no ssd) and get the monitor, the upgrade when they can.

PSU? Motherboard is traaash.

 

OP - What games will you be playing?

What else will you use the system for?

What monitor(s) will you use with this system?

Will you overclock?

Any preferred aesthetic(colour scheme, side panel window, LEDs, etc)?

This will be my first time venturing into the realm of PC gaming so probably a bit of everything

 

Strictly gaming. I use my phone for social media and I dont do content creation.

 

I was looking at the Asus VQ248QE but I am not set on any in particular. I am going to get a 1080p monitor regardless

 

I dont know how but I would definitely love to 

 

I am a very function over form kind of guy at least until I have a budget for it. Nothing fancy is perfectly alright with me
