Ryzen Rig Rebuild!

[orbitalbuzzsaw]

So I've had a half-built PC using my old Ryzen 1600 and Strix B350 board laying around for a while now and I figured with Prime Day coming up now's as good a time as any to turn it into a 2nd badass gaming PC. Current specs are a 1600/1060 3GB/ 240GB SSD and 2TB HDD, CM Masterbox lite 5 and a Seasonic Focus+ Gold 650W. Currently the rig looks like this:

.

Soooo... parts list time

Blue - Being carried forward

Green - Here

Yellow - Bought and on its way

Orange - Ordering soon^tm

 

Ryzen 5 1600

Wraith Spire

ASUS Strix B350-F Gaming

16GB G.Skill Aegis

240GB TeamGroup L5 Lite 3D

Barracuda 2TB

Zotac 1070 Ti AMP edition

Phanteks Eclipse P300

2x Noctua NF-P14S Redux, 1x NF-S12B Redux

Seasonic Focus Plus Gold 650W

Some sort of cheap cable extensions/replacement kit - Suggestions welcome!

I also have a 240mm CM ML240L RGB that I might put in when I get back to my house in a few weeks (I'm currently on vacation, yes I bring a PC on vacation. Pro tip: You can get stuff shipped to the place you're staying so you don't have to bring it with you)

 

Updates to come as parts come in over the following days

Maybe Upgrade your cooler so you can overclock your 1600 to keep up with that 1070ti.  I have the Cryorig H5 Ultimate and my temps stay very low even when overclocked at 3.9ghz I might hit 65c.  

 

The H5 Ultimate fits inside my Phanteks P400 case not sure on the P300 so you might want to look into what fits.

I have a Cyrorig H7 on the way as well for a different PC. I wonder if I might get the AM4 kit for that... an i5-7400 can probably boost just as high with an Enermax ETS-N30 as an H7.

Yeah since the i5 is not able to be overclocked (correct?) I would use the H7 on the 1600 and while your ordering the am4 kit buy an extra 5-10$ fan for the H7 and run a push pull for an extra couple degrees of cooling and well it looks cool haha.
