Fix this build?

[spiralfuzion]

Hi I'm a bit lazy as to fix this but i have ideas. This was made by a friends friend and it is pretty terrible. Budget is around 900USD. I was thinking a ryzen cpu, 1060 or 480, and a cheaper power supply. Like why would he need a gold psu that's 100 bucks? No keyboard as well. Go nuts.https://pcpartpicker.com/user/BlackTAG/saved/FR23FT

bad build.. get the ryzen 1600, stick with stock cooler, get a b350 board, get ddr4 ram, case is an overkill for such system, psu is an overkill too,

Psu isn't actually overkill  but the price sure is. It's a way overpriced bad quality psu

agree with this build, but maybe swap the case, as it is an overkill in my opinion (for this build)

Never had an issue with them personally. But there is a Sandisck one for not much more

It's ok but I would choose the SL308 I linked.

SSD Plus isn't very good

I would get a better PSU, especially if he wants to overclock that CPU and ram (Which with Ryzen you kind of have to) otherwise this would work.

this is probably the best build you could find for this price range, good for gaming and multi-tasking

CXM is tier 3 and would be tier 2 if it wasn't for the fan, it's totally fine. 450w is way more than enough

this is kinda off-topic for this thread.. but what tier is the TX 80+ Gold semi-m

Sure its enough to run the system, but remember PC Particker is shit with there suggested voltage. They base that off of things like FE GPU's and don't take into account different loads, just idle. In a game situation he could be over 89% (Which I believe is the efficiency curve on that PSU) meaning he is using more power then he needs to. And if he overclocks then the curve increases. If PC partpicker says he needs 350w, he really needs 450w or higher. I would get a 550w-650w silver/gold psu to make sure he keeps above the efficiency curve, and has headroom to overclock.

what psu do you recommend?

corsair cx 2017 or the above mentioned corsair cx 450m

im not the best at psus, but i can give you a good wattage number that u would need(including overclocking), keep in mind.. the number that i will give might not be good if an upgrade is needed in the future.. but always go id say 150-200W extra of what the gpu says, so like if the gpu says that it needs 400w, go for 550 and up, etc..
