First time build

[AbysmalCraig]

Hi peeps, 

I'm building my personal PC for my home and my general aim for this machine is a Home Media Server, music workstation and some slight gaming (I'm a console gamer by heart and can never get used to a K/B and Mouse). 

 

I'm not a complete idiot and do know a lot. (At least I hope) 

 

My budget was approx. £600 (I'm in Scotland) and here's a list of all my components I've selected. If anyone has any suggestions I would greatly appreciate it.

 

I do intend to do some overclocking on it but not extreme (more experimental) and this project is more aimed at being a platform to move forward with. 

 

AMD Ryzen 1500X 

ASUS ROG Strix B350-F 

Coolermaster Masterliquid 240 

WE GREEN M.2 2280 120GB SAD

1x 4gb of Cruicial DDR 4 2400 Ram 

Cooler master masterbox lite 5

2 x Asus VP228HE 22 inch monitors (I know they are only TN panels but this doesn't bother me) 

Corsair VS650 power supply UK Model 

 

I'm planning to run Windows 10 

 

I already have 4 x 4TB HDD's and a very very basic graphics card that I'm just going to drop in the rig to give me some graphics as a temp measure until I buy a proper graphics card along with a KB and Mouse

 

I feel I've done enough research to know that this should be good setup to upgrade down the line with additional ram etc

 

Thanks again

I recommend spending the extra £40 on an 8gb stick of ram (1x8 or 2x4) just because buying a 2nd 4gb stick down the line is downright annoying.

1500X is more expensive and is equal in performance to the 1400.

 

You have a leaky AIO.

 

Get a CX450M or Pure Power 10. Can you shop from UK online stores?

I would either get the 1600 or 1400, the 1500x is not worth it.
