Is this a decent Ryzen Build?

[SinKoh]

I had a recent post but decided to tweak some things on it. Is this a decent Gaming/Coding build for a $1,400.00 budget? Any improvements I can make to increase performance but not increase the cost? I have a 240 gb SSD so no storage is listed.

what would you be doing with this?

I would throw in a 650w power supply just to be in the efficiency curve

I believe you would be better off with an Intel chip then but yea. the thing I just sad is the only thing, and maby something to put your data on

If you aren't using applications that will take advantage of all those cores then a 1600 R5 would probably get you the same gaming performance at a lower price.  But I get it, If I was going to build a Ryzen system, I'd want an R7 too....

Forgot to mention I had a 240gb SSD already. Thanks for mentioning that. I added it to the post.

The only thing that will be installed on the SSD is the games. I have a 1TB HDD that I have all my work on. I also use portable versions of most of my applications from my 5tb external. Games being Battlefield, PUBG, and CoD.

[ricksteendam1]

oke then you would be fine

Are you sure you'll benefit from the 8-core? You may be better off with a 1600 or 8400 and a more powerful GPU.

Don't get a B350 board to overclock a Ryzen 8-core. Get a decent X370 board, like the Prime Pro.

What about the 1600x with the Asus - STRIX X370-F GAMING ATX AM4 Motherboard

Don't get the 1600X. Just get the 1600. But with a 6-core, a decent B350 board should be fine. The X370 Strix is a very decent board.

I tweaked the build. Is this a little better?

Change the PSU to the Cooler Master V550 in the OP, and maybe consider a 1080. Assuming you'll play at 1440p, and that the programs you'll use are multithreaded, it looks good

With the 1600, the 1080 makes more sense, unless you're going to game at ultrawide 1440p or 4K. The 1080 Ti is also a whole lot more expensive. For coding, the GPU shouldn't make a difference, though.

Will this build with the 1600 and 1080 get me some decent FPS while gaming on high settings?

Depends on the resolution. At 1080p and 1440p, yes, That's very doable.

Sweet. Thats all I needed to know. I appreciate you taking time out of your day to help me better understand and decide on what I need.
