I am going to order these parts tomorrow. I was wondering if any I could get any experienced opinions on what I am building. Any comments or suggestions about how i could edit my build to save money or be more compatible, or things I should do when I get my parts and such.

The CPU comes with a motherboard and cooler (b350 gaming plus, and a wraith max cooler)

The case comes with two fans, I am getting another of the same fan for a positive airflow.

I already have the SSD.

The flash drive is for a windows 10 mirror.

I know the keyboard is stupidly expensive, but i like the razer products (especially the mouse that i have) , so I'm getting it anyway.

You probably don't need that case fan. Positive, negative, whatever; the performance should be around the same.

 

Why are you getting the razer chroma keyboard. I'm not a mech user myself, but I've heard razer's quality has gone down these past few years. Can you get any other subsittutes?

 

You can probably save yourself some $ buying off /r/MicrosoftSoftwareSwap or Kinguin or something like that.

 

Otherwise looks great! :D

 

Want to know which mobo to get?

Spoiler

Choose whatever you need. Any more, you're wasting your money. Any less, and you don't get the features you need.

 

Only you know what you need to do with your computer, so nobody's really qualified to answer this question except for you.

Thanks for the reply!, the reason I was looking into an extra fan isn't just for the positive airflow, I also thought that 1 120mm fan as intake simply wouldn't cool off the parts. Do you think it will be fine?, because if so, that could save 13 bucks.

After reading the keyboard reviews, there have been some good points in the quality not being up to par, some people report rgb lights going out, keys being wrong and such. I'll probably look into other keyboards to save money, thanks for the help! :D

Agree with the above, specially the part about making sure the ram memory is on the mobo's QVL.

check to make sure that the RAM is on the motherboard's QVL, other than that you should be good

 The QVL for the motherboard says 3200(oc) does this mean 3200 normal wouldn't work? 

Also the amd cpu page says 2667 max.

I am pretty sure I have seen  videos of people using a 1600 with 3200 memory, and i also remember seeing a page with exact specifications of which memory works (by model number), and the corsair lpx 3200 model number was on it.image.png.9502c2c8c38969f6ea50a85309ec2c3b.png

edit: also I have seen people say getting the bios drivers let their memory reach 3200

on the motherboard support page, look at the actual QVL (it should be close to the manual or bios update page) Ryzen still has some issues with RAM kits not working on some boards, I always recommend making sure you have a kit listed on the QVL

yep, its on there by exact model number. It is rated 3200 and supported 3200 so I guess the ram is good to go!

Loose the seagate hdd and find a hitachi or toshiba drive. they last longer.

 

Buy extra case fans after you build it and examine the airflow.

As long the airflow is enough a ryzen system is fairly cool, no need for extra fans.

Fans would make your system buzzing like bees.

That case already have 1 front and 1 rear fans, so i think its enough for now.

Never used a Toshiba or Hitachi drive personally, only used Seagate and Western Digital. I've read Toshiba and Hitachi drives are noisy, though.
