Budget workstation need some help

[Terezcerez]

Hello everyone! I'm new here and hoping to have some good time here

I need your thoughts on my budget part list I'm hoping to buy. I have about 950 us dollars and my needs are graphic design and digital arts (Photoshop illustrator light 3d) and light use of after effects and premiere.

 

I have read online and this build is the best I think for the price, please give me your opinion

Ryzen 1600

Gigabyte ga-ab350m gaming

Corsair Vengeance LPX 1x8GB DDR4 3000MHz

Gigabyte GTX 1060 Mini ITX OC 6GB GDDR5

Kingston UV500 2.5 Inch SUV500/240G

Antec 450W Active PFC VP450P PSU

Sharkoon VG4-W Black Blue

 

Thanks in advance!

I would get dual channel Ram, so 2x4 or if you can 2x8. Also Ryzen has issues with Adobe products, so keep that in mind. (Hardware Canucks and Gamers Nexus did videos on this)

yea, and invest in a HDD if budget still allows you. Maybe just to dump file if you don't have a separate storage box in your network yet.

if you consider that intel has hardware accel on premiere then maybe an i5-8400 and a B360 combo will suit you

The r5-1600 has been superseded by the r5-2600 so it might be better to get that instead and the mx500 is a better SSD.

Well after some research I got to this article https://www.techspot.com/review/1608-core-i5-8400-vs-ryzen-5-1600-best-value/page2.html 

So I will stay with the ryzen mabey I will over clock it

Where I live I having a hard time finding x470 mother board that I understood from research that it critical. I can order it from Amazon but it will take some time and the shipping is little extra money. Do you have any advice? Mabey using old mother board or something

 

Thank you all!!!!!

ok so you can actually go for a B350 motherboard to save some bucks and i would recommend the B350-Pro 4 from ASrock,

that board will handle the Ryzen 5 1600 just fine without being hot so whichever AM4 socket motherboard you pick i suggest getting one either from Asus or Asrock
