Ready to buy, have i made a mistake?

[Zephyroth]

Hi, i've just completed my little shopping list for a brand new gaming PC, it look good to me but i would like somebody else opinion about it so here it is:

 

Motherboard: Asus PRIME X370-A 159.90 €
Case: Phanteks Enthoo Luxe Tempered Glass, Noir 185.90 €
Watercooling: Deepcool Gamer Storm Captain 240 EX, Noir 119.90 €
RAM: DDR4 Corsair Vengeance LPX, Noir, 2 x 8 Go, 2666 MHz, CAS 16 164.90 €
SSD: Crucial MX300, 525 Go, SATA III    157.80 €
HDD: Seagate IronWolf Pro, 4 To 179.80 €
CPU:  AMD Ryzen 5 1600X (3.6 GHz) 219.90 €
GPU: MSI GeForce GTX 1070 AERO 8G OC, 8 Go 479.90 €
PSU: Be Quiet ! Pure Power 10 CM, 700W 107.90€

 

Total: 1830.80 € and i've got 5% on it so it would cost me 1739.22 €

I would try and get high speed/lower latency Ram if able. Ryzen Loves it more than a fat kid in the candy store. Try and get 3000Mhz at max Cas 15. Otherwise great build that you will be happy with.

Can you fit the X370 Prime Pro into the budget?

A 240mm AiO is unnecessary for Ryzen. Something like a Dark Rock 3 is more than enough. 

Ryzen benefits a lot from faster RAM. Change the kit to a 3000 or 3200 MHz kit. 

Do you really need a HDD with that much space?

Don't get the 1600X, just get the 1600, and spend the money elsewhere. 

Get a non-blower style GPU. 

Get a better 550W or 650W PSU. Vengeance if it's available, Focus Plus Gold, G2/G3 and RMx should cost a bit less. Or any tier 1/2 unit from the PSU tier list. 

Coffee Lake is out tomorrow. Wait for reviews, and look at how the 8600K performs. Should cost a little more than the 1600X, and will probably perform better in games.

If you've already purchased, stop reading now and enjoy your build.  It looks good.

If not, get the 1600 instead of the 1600X and just OC it.

The ram isn't bad but faster is better.  Go 300mhz or better.

Frankly I'd get a r5 1600 on the b350 because being realistic performance will be the same for the most part (as long as picks a decent b350 yeah), processor also is the same, would use stock cooling too just that saves enough for a GTX 1080 or even a 1080ti if you're feeling like throwing the missing bit.

 

Would at the end perform superiorly while high graphics cards are the easiest reselling item on the market, so better put money there.

Well, what games are you playing and what monitor(s) will you be using? Also will you use the system for anything else?

 

Coffee Lake is likely a far better option for you, but even if you were to go Ryzen, get a 1600, not 1600x. You don't need to spend so much on a cooler, especially for Ryzen. You can easily save money in some places for better components elsewhere.

Thanks for all your advices. For the one who want to know wich games i will play on it, it range from Jazz Jackrabbit to GTA5 Online/Offline so a list would be pretty long and borring to read. If that matter, i'm playing Beamng.drive, i'm waiting for project car 2 and i envoy modding games like skyrim, the Fallout series and GTA 4.

Oh and overwatch and rocket league, those are fun for me too
