A new gaming rig for friend

[Stealshot]

Hello there big fan of the forum and the YouTube channel haven't posted yet but here it is today is the day
A friend of mine ask me if he shoud buy a pre configured PC or build it from parts and as tech geek i went nuts u cant buy prebuild shits ( we live in eastern Europe here pre-builds are really bad )

His old PC is from like 10 years ( core 2 quad GT240 and 720p monitor ) so i guess everything is upgrade but if u gonna do it do it right.

So here is what I've had put together and wanna ask you for opinion advice's .... 

 

CPU: AMD - Ryzen 5 1600 3.2GHz 6-Core Processor
 

Motherboard: Gigabyte - GA-AB350-GAMING 3 ATX AM4 Motherboard

 

Memory: Corsair - Vengeance LPX 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR4-3000 Memory

 

Storage: Seagate - FireCuda 2TB 3.5" 7200RPM Hybrid Internal Hard Drive

 

Video Card: Asus - GeForce GTX 1070 Ti 8GB ROG STRIX Video Card

 

Case: NZXT - S340 (Black/Red) ATX Mid Tower Case

 

Power Supply: FSP Group - 650W 80+ Silver Certified ATX Power Supply

 

 

My main concern is the ram i know ryzen loves fast memory, but doesn't work with all. So I've checked in ryzen support list this one shoud be fine, but i am still worried is it gonna work on 3000Mhz XMP .

I know you gonna say get ssd for windows but the price of ssd at the moment in my country is very high so maybe in some later stage 250gb m2 shoud be great. And i know you gonna say some different power supply but i have very good experience with FSP and its really good price and no point for modular , since the case have basement and my friend is not that big fan of clean look and visuals.

 

I know i haven't posted any prices but there are really big difference between products in my side of the globe.
O yes and i forgot its gonna be 1440p (144hz) monitor.

I know you know this is going to be said, but I still need to say it. Spending a huge chunk of cash on a 1070 Ti, R5 1600, and 16GB of 3000Mhz memory while using an SSHD doesn't make much sense.

 

Get an SSD, it's worth it. You don't need to get an expensive M.2, just grab a 250GB 850 EVO.

the raider s isn't good, I'd recommend a corsair CX/vengeance or be quiet pure power 10 instead. I'd see if you can get a cheaper b350 board and 1070ti and use the money for a 240gb ssd.
