I am planning on building a new gaming PC, I am trying to keep my budget around 1100 US dollars, but currently I'm looking at $1215, can I get some suggestions on what to change?

Specs: 

Case - Phanteks Eclipse P400s

Motherboard - MSI Gaming Ryzen B350 PC MATE

CPU - Ryzen 5 1600x (Only because it was only and extra $20 on amazon vs the 1600)

Graphics - EVGA GeForce 1070 SC2 Black Edition

RAM - Ballistic 16GB DDR4 2666

Power Supply - EVGA 500 B1

Storage - Samsung 850 EVO 250GB SSD

Cooler - Cooler Master MasterLiquid 120

 

Any suggestions are helpful.

Looks good to me. I personally would get a better power supply and i think you can fit a 1070ti if you change somethings. I personally always suggest buying a cheap case so the money goes into performance but anyways... would defiantly get a better psu tho.

I agree what you said about the case but I am personally willing to go a little higher on the case just for the reason of how good it truly looks and I have Phanteks case in my current PC and I like the build of it, the cable manage and they also give a lot of upgrade space in the future. But I will do some switching and if I can't squeeze in a 1080ti. Thanks for the feedback.

Consider all of them. The 1600 can be overclocked to 1600X speeds easily with the stock cooler, this motherboard has a better VRM, I included a 1070 Tim and the PSU is on a great sale.
