$2000 ryzen build

[agrov]

Hello, I'm building a gaming rig for a friend and he's looking to spend no more than au$2000. I think I've pulled together a got set but since I'm still pretty new to this I thought I would ask for some tips. Here is the build: https://www.pccasegear.com/sc/cDb. I was wondering if there would be any bottlenecking/incompatible parts that I might have missed or if the ryzen 7 1700 would be a better option, or anything else, Thanks.

Looks solid. 

 

You don't really need the higher end stuff (ryzen 7 1700) unless you're doing more productivity stuff. Sure, still a framerate difference, but probably not that much, or nothing noticeable anyways.

 

1070 Dual, seems like I've heard complaints on Canadian newegg about coil whine. I've seen them replace it, idk, might be something you should watch out for though.

 

In the future: 

To check for bottlenecking shove all these parts into PC part picker. It'll tell you any incompatibilities, or even if you may need a BIOS flash to get it working (mostly with intel chips RN)

Everything looks good here! The ryzen 7 1700 would only be a better option if your friend was going to utilise those extra cores. the r5 1600 still has awesome multi core performance so this PC can handle casual and light video and photo rendering stuff etc

you don't really need an X370 board or a PSU with that much wattage. you'll be 200% fine with a 500W unit. if you're looking to save a bit on this that's what i'd look into. maybe to stretch for a 1080 or a 1700. it's up to you

Maybe get a cheaper motherboard, and invest the rest into either a cooler case if you want, or maybe try squeeze in a 1080 if you want.

How about this one?

With a GTX 1080
