Hi I'm building a PC & I'd like to know what y'all think and if I could choose better parts etc.

 

I will be using the PC for multiboxing Diablo 3 X 4 accounts/game clients. Some competitive Overwatch and Starcraft 2. What I'll be using it for basic YouTube viewing,  possible game streaming (once I learn  how to do that). What I want out of a PC is fast and reliable stability. I can't stand waiting for stuff to load & I really, really, really hate lagg. I am extremely impatient & competitive. I'm not too bothered about noise so much. I would like to try out custom loop water cooling and CPU/GPU/RAM overclocking.

 

1. Budget & Location

$2,500 - $3,000 Victoria, Australia

2. Aim

Multiboxing 4 X Diablo 3 game clients, *See above.

3. Monitors

1-2

4. Peripherals

Keyboard, Mouse, Speakers, Windows 10 Pro 64Bit

 

I don't currently own a PC

 

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

Motherboard: Asus - STRIX X370-F GAMING ATX

Memory: G.Skill - Trident Z RGB 2 x 8GB DDR4-3200

Storage: 2 X Samsung - 960 EVO 250GB M.2-2280 RAID0

GPU: Asus - Radeon RX 580 8GB ROG STRIX

Case: Fractal Design - Meshify C TG ATX Mid Tower

PSU: Corsair - RMx 650W 80+ Gold Fully-Modular ATX

Monitor: Asus - MG248QR 24.0" 1920x1080 144Hz

 

Any & all help & suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Cheers!

That actually looks really good, you could save on RAM if you went with a cheaper 16Gb kit.

Wait until April 19th for Ryzen 2, probably buy an 8 core R7 2700 for what you're trying to do

The ASrock Pro4 is likely the best value motherboard, will need a BIOS update for Ryzen 2 though

 

Are video cards still horrible overpriced due to the shortages?

Just get the cheapest faster kit you can find for memory.

@Crunchy Dragon My motherboard of choice only has 1 M.2 NVMe socket. I have a few questions if I may. 1. Will this (Asus Hyper M.2 X16 Card Expansion) work with my Choice of CPU & Motherboard to setup a fully functional RAID0 with 2 X Samsung 960 Evo NVMe M.2 SSD? 2. Does X370 chipset support 
Asus Hyper M.2 X16 Card Expansion Nv Me M.2? 3. Is there support for my Ryzen CPU? Basically, with my chosen hardware config', will the RAID0 work?

Do not use RAID 0 ever, if you want multiple M.2 SSDs though, just get a board with more slots.
