im still unsure, please point anything that you find bad at all right now!

I'd swap the PSU for a CX/m unit from Corsair.

Also, personally I'd also rather go for a B350 and 1600, than an X370 with the lowest end chip.

 

 

edit - The SSD is also pretty trash after doing a bit of digging on it.

I agree, but I’d still like to save money. As well as an upgrade path be clear

There's saving money, and there's making a stupid decision whilst trying to save money. This would be the latter.

For an extra $30-40 overall it's more than worth it.

 

Edit - you can even keep a good quality X370 board actually.

i would cheap out on the fans,case and remove the liquid cooler, its just a ryzen 1200 anyway, not worth spendin 50buck ona cooler ( stock cooler is jst fine for no oc and its just a ryzen 1200 ._. )

 

id also search for a cheaper mobo ;v

 

if u wanna keep the stuff, get a better cpu instead o,o

Get an asrock x370,

R5 1600,

And no need for a liquid cooler, literally no reason at all, the 1600 stock cooler is very good.

Unless he wants to push for 3.9/4Ghz with it the stock cooler will be enough.

 

Or if he gets a good chip and doesn't need over about 1.35 volts to hit 3.9/4ghz

Yeah but no need to get a liquid cooler with a r3 1200. I just said that even if he got the 1600 he would still not need it.

I was meaning if he did get the 1600, cause then he would need it if he wanted to push it to its limits.

If your willing to give up a lot of the swag there is about $200 you can shave off and put into your GPU/CPU which would give you a better experience

Looks good, but wtf is that ssd.

[GrockleTD]

the only thing i can vouch for quality wise is the headphones tbh. 

[k3y3]

Lol I see where you all come from but I need that rgb, and I need that good look. I’m sorry if you don’t agree but it has to look good.

[iRileyx]

Well if you insist on getting the fans and the "bling" atleast change the PSU to something that doesn't risk blowing your system up once youve built it, and an SSD that doesn't risk immediately corrupting all your data lol.

Focus on getting a decent system. RGB fans are not that expensive and easily added at a later date.
