New Ryzen build

[Nifol]

Finally got started on a complete upgrade (my current system is ancient) and I'm on a budget.  I decided on this.

 

• Gigabyte Aorus X470 Ultra Gaming
• Ryzen 5 2600X
• Night Hawk RGB 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 PC4-25600C16 3200MHz
• Team Group 120GB L5 Lite SSD (for OS and things like browsers, Pyfa EVEMon etc.)
• 2TB Baracuda (transplanted across from mu current rig)
• Super Flower  Leadex II 750W 80 Plus Gold Modular PSU

 

I already have the case, a Thermaltake Core X71 TG.  As for the lack of a GPU, seeing as how I game at 1080p and mainly play EVE Online and Diablo 3 I can drop my current, long-serving GTX660 2GB in for a few months until a mate gives me his GTX1070.

 

Any criticisms are welcome.

Will you be transplanting the old cooler over to the new system?

 

I'd spend more for a larger capacity SSD. 120GB is a bit close to the limit, or just not enough if your desktop is messy.

Like I said, my current system is ancient, really ancient (X4 Pnenom II 850) so that's a big nono.  I thought the 2600X came with a Wraith Spire cooler, which will do me until I grab an AIO jobby later.  I won't be OC'ing it so it should be fine.  As for the HDD, my desktop is OCD levels of tidy but I suppose I could opt for the 240GB drive.

You would need a new cooler, or just get the 2600. The Wraith Spire cooler is pretty good for a stock cooler, and the 2600 is basically an underclocked 2600x.

OP aint overclocking, so imo, the 2600x is the better option for auto-clocks and with the new X470 chipset, the X is worth it to take advantage of the PB2 (on the chip) and XFR2 and keep in mind the Wraith comes with the "X" and non-X versions

I would aim for a larger SSD if you can, 120gb will fill fast even with just OS and a few other apps (by the time you loose your formatting section as well)
