No. Just no.

 

1. WHY A 120MIL

2. MSI B350 units mostly suck, including this one

3. VS = facepalm with a high end build like this

Never heard of that game, plus I can't find any reviews on it, so I honestly have no idea. It will probably do well though.

first let me admit that i really dont know jack about power suppliesi have had the same one from my last 5 builds, and secondly i have done a couple builds with that msi b350 tomahawk board and it worked great everytime the rest tho 1060 and ryzen 5 sounds like a great build for what he wants. the vega 56 is just overpriced and isnt even that great for what ya pay. my suggestion to OP is go with ryzen cpu and 1060 6gb or even 1070 if you can get one cheap enough and the case pick what ya want and like i said dont know about the psu

B350 Tomahawk has terrible VRMs so I would recommend the AsRock Pro4 or STRIX or PRIME B350

[Damascus]

Here’s a 1600, great mobo, great psu, great RAM and a Gtx 1080 for 1650 AUD.  Choose an inexpensive case you like the look of and you are good to go - this will play any game smoothly for years to come

Yeah only reason I put it in there was the only experience I have had with ryzen. this guy I work with had me build him a couple system's and that was the board he chose and haven't heard any complaints plus have always liked msi but yeah I personally would go with strix

[Damascus]

Here’s a good, cheap case with excellent airflow, ie good cooling

I'd complain about the annoying BIOS and only 4 SATA ports on the board if we're talking about the Tomahawk.

I suppose the VRMs don't matter that much though unless they're inherently defective or you're trying for any overclocking.  For a standard build for someone that doesn't intend on OCing I mean...but then again, why get a B350 board then?
