With Ryzen 5, save yourself $50 and get a B350 board.

 

Otherwise, it's pretty good. This is just a personal opinion, but I'd probably get a Define R5 or Meshify C.

Looks pretty good, but i'd switch the NVME ssd to a regular 2.5" drive. This doesn't affect gaming performance at all.

Use case? NVMe probably isn't worth it.

Make sure to quote me or tag me when responding to me, or I might not know you replied! Examples:

And make sure you do it by hitting the quote button at the bottom left of my post, and not the one inside the editor!

Interested in computer architecture? Still in middle or high school? P.M. me!

 

I love computer hardware and feel free to ask me anything about that (or phones). I especially like SSDs. But please do not ask me anything about Networking, programming, command line stuff, or any relatively hard software stuff. I know next to nothing about that.

I will play at 1080p but I will probably update to 1440p when I have more money.

Should be fine, and the 1080 should let you get 144Hz in most games at 1440p.

Yea but if this is a normal gaming build you can save some money with a SATA SSD

Can you assure me that Ryzen 5 1600 won't bottleneck GTX 1080? I saw many videos that said it won't but I want to be sure.

I doubt it will. Especially as games get updated for more threads (like PUBG). You could always get a Ryzen 7 1700 though, it’s cheaper than a 7700K still.
