Will this work

Use the link in the top left, or hit the [T] Button at the top

 

But just what is your budget/country? Do you already own a display? if so what resolution/refresh rate?

What kind of games will you be running? More than likely the best option is to use a cheap APU PC for the time being, then just toss in a higher end next gen GPU in a few months.

I edit my posts a lot, Twitter is @LordStreetguru just don't ask PC questions there mostly...
 

Spoiler

 

What is your budget/country for your new PC?

 

what monitor resolution/refresh rate?

 

What games or other software do you need to run?

you're spending WAY too much on RGB. just get a cheapo strip off amazon for a few bucks and connect it to the mobo. what's your budget?

Cut back on the fans. If there's a fire in your house you won't hear the alarm over the sound of them. You're essentially having 7 fans (not counting the ones already in the case) because of the AIO cooler. The 1500x is also a bad purchase. Get an i5-8400 (with the appropriate motherboard), or an R5 1600 if you're set on AMD. Quad cores are the new low end.

Make sure to quote or tag me (@JoostinOnline) or I won't see your response!

GPU can be switched for whatever to fit your budget. There's a lot more cost-effective options for RGB. Also, I'm not sure that case can take that many extra fans.

I am replacing the fans inside the case

Dude please don't do this build... 

 

Do this.. Tell us exactly what your max budget is and tell us what is important to you.. from what I see you want a visible case, good cooling, rgb... and you should just get a mobo with WiFi on it no adapter.

 

What is your budget you just went from 850 to 1150 and you can do much better... Tell us?

R7 1700 isnt as good as the 8400 as a gaming CPU because of lower single core performance, but that's less of a problem then the inadequate motherboard, lack of SSD and bad PSU.

 

This is the PSU to go for

 

This is the SSD I'd recommend

 

This is the mobo for Ryzen 7 1700, if that's what you're getting
