A new setup

[p123]

Are these parts good enough to make a descent PC?

MSI X370 Gaming Pro Carbon

G.Skill RipjawsV 16GB DDR4-3200MHz

Corsair CX Series CX550M

AMD Ryzen 5 2400

Cougar MX330

1 TB HDD

 

What do you think?

Thanks

What is your budget and use of the computer? This is important when deciding if it is a good computer.

Are you on a budget? If you are then yes, that'd likely be better than going with a non vega ryzen and getting a gpu.

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/XKT4MZ Something like this would be much better suited to gaming. The SSD will speed up the computer a lot and adding a bigger HDD later is simple. The 1050ti will also perform much better.

May require BIOS update. This can be done at a local tech store. OS included

Three comments. 

1. Not great HDD

2. SSD with no cache

3. Single stick ddr4 at slowest speed.

As a system to upgrade on it is not great.

Also no OS included

@p123

did you want OS included in the price?

 

Other than that its good

The Pro4 is probably a better choice. 3 phase SoC VRM for the Vega thing. Also, $10 cheaper after rebate.

Also issues. This one's ancient and group regulated, loud, and lacks protections on the 12V rail. The Whisper M or Formula are the best PSUs at $50-60, imo. There's also the grey CX/M and the Masterwatt, for .ore budget oriented options. Looks nice other than that, though. Windows key from Reddit/Kinguin/eBay is also an option.

Can you update the build to fit those criteria? I know a few good PSUs, but in the budget world im not that educated. Ive just kept im mind PCIe power cables for expansion, Efficiency-rating and general brand reputation

I mean, there's not really anything I'd change, I think. I don't have enough knowledge about low end cases to change anything, and the PSU is a simple swap. The HDD is a filter, saving $0,01.
