New build (need tips)

[Sophice]

First time building a pc, could use some help with parts (might be a tad late as ive bought most of it already, but the more important items are still yet to get.

I only have the ram, GPU and CPU left to buy (will be changing the 1070 to a 1070ti when they are released and i can add one to the part picker).

 

Thanks.

So i'm guessing your total budget is around $1000? Correct?

[Sophice]

yeah, i could maybe go alittle higher, but not a whole lot.

Add an SSD it will kill you have an HDD. Do you need rgb ram while I'm on ram, Ryzen benefits from faster ram. 3000+MHz is recommended.

Looks really good but you should really get an SSD for a boot drive, it will make a world of difference. Otherwise it is a good build! (I also changed the PSU)

Not a bid deal. I strongly suggest getting the SSD I linked though.

Just put this together, I think you may like it. I don't think you need 3tb of storage, so I changed it to 1tb and a 256gb ssd. If you rather have the 3tb and no ssd it's the same price.

Also I picked the 3000mhz RGB ram. Ryzen benefits from faster ram.

ive already got tje 3tb hdd, but i can just have a ssd aswell. I can change the ram if you guys think it will help, can just get some rgb led strips instead haha. thanks, i was kinda worried id put these parts together and they would be terrible.

You don't have to change to non RGB ram, you could just get the faster varient. Also not to be rude or anything but that case does not look that good. I'd recommend getting something with tempered glass. I'd recommend you get the NZXT HUE. it's a great lighting system. It comes with the lights and everything.

They all have different speeds, generally the Samsung ssd's are the fastest. You can't really tell though, so I'd just go with a cheaper one from a good company like sandisk.

yeah i was thinking, just go to the 2nd hand place round me, they usually have tons of ssds in fairly cheap.

Don't buy SSD's second hand. SSD's get worn out overtime, they can only handle so many cycles, which is data being put on and deleted. Unless your just gonna be putting steam games on there, cause if the SSD fails, you can just re download them.
