Build thoughts? Amd based

[VivaLaVendetta]

Hi, I posted earlier about a build with intel based systems, but changed to amd with a clearer cooling system, but I would love some feedback.

The gpu is already bought, and I also have a Samsung evo 850 250gb ssd bought as well.

Thanks

cooler is small unless running stock, perhaps look at stock cooler in that case.

 

gpu is old and overkill for 1080p 60hz edit: just re-read your post, look into a more demanding monitor if you want to use your gpu to it's potential

 

maybe look for a mb with wifi on it

 

I get the impression ryzen has worked out the ram issues, but a year ago you had to be careful what ram you got, double check this.  But I have seen others use ripjaws.

 

for the love of god get an ssd edit: ok just re-read your post

Don't get the s12, the psu is a decade old and kinda bad by modern standards.

I have a 13+ yo Antec supply that is still running solid.

 

I had recently assumed that I threw it away because I wasn't sure where TF it was, then recently I got my mom's computer back to install a second ssd and make it dual boot and lowe and behold there it was, full of dust bunnies and all.  This psu has been through several machines and has been in a working system almost the entire 13+ years.

Sure, that psu was probably good when it came out though.  This one wasn't.

You def dont want to have a B350 with such high end CPU. There's now a X370 Pro4 available if your on budget, but I would suggest something better if you overclock.

This is definitely a better build...
