My First PC Build!

[Jack.Rell]

So I have started the process of building my first PC and I just wanted to know what y'all think of my build.

CPU: Ryzen 5 1600 (stock cooler)
GPU: MSI Rx 580 8GB
RAM: 16GB G.SKILL TridentZ 3200 
Storage: Seagate Barracuda 2TB HHD
SSD: N/A 
Motherboard: MSI Tomahawk B350
PSU: Corsair CX750M 80 plus Bronze 
Case: NZXT S340 Elite
Fans: 4x Corsair ML120

 

Budget: $1200

What improvements would you make upon this, if any?

I would definitely say get an SSD. It just makes everything so much quicker.

Would you be able to change the RAM, PSU or even the HDD/Case? I think the S340 non-elite is fine unless you are super set on the Elite. What are you using this system for?

I know quite literally the only thing i haven't already ordered is the gpu, and I'm going to be using the system for gaming and maybe light video editing

I'd recommend you go with the NZXT S340 standard, skip on the extra fans (Ryzen doesn't run hot and you can easily buy them later if you decide you need them, but keep in mind they are extremely diminishing returns), and get an SSD with the difference

So you have already ordered everything... So you can't really change anything anyway .

These are the same specs I'm running on now in a Silverstone RVZ01-E, and a Mx300 500gb m.2 SSD.

An SSD would be priority number one in a system like this even a 128gb one for your OS and games

yeah I'm probably going to install an SSD sometime in the future, just not right away. Need to get more spending money

Also make sure you're running the ram at the right speeds, since default speeds will be slower. 

You might also want to try undervolting your rx580 for energy savings and lower temps at the exact same performance.
