Hello, 

 

This is my first PC build ever would like some advice on components that I could upgrade or change to make my rig the best it can be with what I have. 

This is my build:

Some parts that I have opted to upgrade to/ waiting /don't know are:

 

G.skill flare X 16gb 3200mhz cl14 (upgrade)

Ryzen 2700x (waiting)

WD Black 1TB (changed to)

PS (don't know which one to get) want something quite but good performance

Cooler (don't know which one go get) heard either the one listed in build or corsair h11i is best

 

* Using ssd for os and hd for games etc

 

My mother board is Asrock Taichi x370

 

Build is for Gamming

 

From New Zealand.

 

Would like input from anyone in any country that could help

 

Cheers

get a SSD for windows

860 evo 240GB

 

a HDD is for games, a SSD is for OS. SSD is much MUCH faster than a HDD for system responsiveness.

Ryzen 5 3600 stock | 2x16GB C13 3200MHz (AFR) | GTX 760 (Sold the VII)| ASUS Prime X570-P | 6TB WD Gold (128MB Cache, 2017)

Samsung 850 EVO 240 GB 

138 is a good number.

Looks pretty good. You could likely get away with a 550w PSU, but 750w is fine.

I'd definitely wait for the 2700 and the X470 boards, unless the X370 go on sale quite cheap.

I'd maybe consider going with an m.2 drive. Less cables.

Ive already bought the motherboard ,sigh hahahaa, was what I wanted. What 750w PS would be best that is quite and performs good? m.2 is expensive for now, that is why I have opted for ssd.

M.2 is a form factor, not a protocol. It's usually not much more than a 2.5" SSD.

As for the PSU, grab anything from tier one.

It looks pretty awesome.

 

As for PSU, I’d get an 80+ Gold. Corsair makes pretty good ones.

I see. Ive heard good things about Coolermaster, seasonsic and evga. So I am leaning towards any of them that have a the best Ps g3 gold + rating or w/e its called. But am unsure which one to chooose.
