It will, but psu isn't good (look for cx/cxm 450 or 550 instead) and I question 1600+a320 over something like i5 8400+h310 assuming the build is for gaming.

I love computer hardware and feel free to ask me anything about that (or phones). I especially like SSDs. But please do not ask me anything about Networking, programming, command line stuff, or any relatively hard software stuff. I know next to nothing about that.

Use Pcpartpicker, also its a bit unbalanced. Get a b350 mobo so you can overclock. Also you might want to get a 2nd gen Ryzen CPU

It will work, but not ideal.  Power supply is shit, only a single memory stick limits Ryzen performance noticeably (2 8GB sticks is better than 1 16GB stick).

 

Then there's using a mobo that doesnt support overclocking with Ryzen. The point that Ryzen beats Intel's Coffee Lake is because all CPUs are unlocked, and motherboards that support overclocking (B350 is enough, X370 and X470 also supports overclocking but at a higher price) is cheap. If you're running tight on budget, get Intel's i5-8400 instead. Counting in the (cheapest H310) motherboard it costs about the same as Ryzen 1600, but beats it in performance.

What high frame rates? If you're playing on a 60hz monitor, you can save by getting a 1060 over a 1070ti. If you're doing 144hz get a normal 1070 or 1070ti if the price difference is little.

 

Also get windows 10 from kinguin, save like 70

Switch to 2nd Gen Ryzen or intel and get an overclocking board if you go with Ryzen. Also most importantly, get 2x 8GB sticks of RAM, single channel won't cut it with Ryzen.

It costs about £20 more but It's clearly a problem so I will change it, Thanks!

why so many SSD space? For games, HDD or SSD doesnt affect the gameplay much, since frame rates dont depend on it.

 

Whatever you do, dont buy SSHDs. The tiny cache in there only speeds up a tiny portion of data, effectively means it's hardly faster than a typical HDD. However, SSHDs cost noticeably more for the capacity. I would rather have 2 HDDs in raid 0 than a SSHD.

Its mostly for speed of boot up and file transfers, I forgot to mention I do a lot of photography and need to move photos, videos and such around a lot. At the moment I have a 5400rpm laptop hdd and it takes hours. I'm really looking to get as far from hdd's as I can get in this new pc.

 

Also, should I run the ssds in raid 0 and how do I do it
