I have asked a lot of questions here, and I have been learning a lot of stuff for weeks. i am going to do mostly gaming 1080p (pubg, r6s, rust, fortnite, csgo) on medium settings. So say what you would do in my place. My max budget is 1150€. So here is the build : https://de.pcpartpicker.com/list/dywWfH

So say if you would change some components. And btw, i need help with choosing the right case fan. S340 Elite has only 2, and I need minimum of 3. And that mobo has 2 fan headers, thats why I am going to get splitter. So the components I want to hear more in my build, are : Mobo, power supply, ssd and ram. Tell me is there any cheaper ssd, I couldnt find cheaper myself. So I dont need fast ssd, I am gonna only game. Thanks

Corsair SP/HD/LL fans and Arctic BioniX fans are good choices for case fans. Arctic BioniX fans come in red if you're into that. Putting 2 on the front and then one on the back is really all you need as a minimum. You can always put one of the stock S340 fans on the top as exhaust, which is what I did until my 4th Corsair SP120 fan came.

 

Your build is overall decent as is, there's nothing I would personally change.

Should just buy a case with actual airflow the RL06 Pro is one of the best

 

Why the 300 RX 580? Better off with one close to 200

You don't need the fan splitter

Should go for Ryzen 2000, look for that motherboard, or get one of the X470 boards.

I want rx 580 8gb, not 4gb because that is not enough for me... And I heard that the sapphire is the best brand for rx580 and it has the best cooling solutions so..

And that crucial ssd is same price as kingston, and its m2 so i may broke it because its too fragile for me lol.. And the cpu, I heard that the ryzen 5 1600 has better cooling so.. Please respond to this message if you have anything to say. Thanks.

The motherboard is fine. Do consider the X370 Gaming Plus, as it has a slightly better VRM, and costs pretty much the same.

Why that specific RAM kit? There are just as fast kits available for less. 

Definitely change the SSD. Those low end Kingston drives are horrible. The MX500 is much nicer, and costs less

The 4GB version of the RX 580 is fine, there's no need to spend €80 more for the extra VRAM. 

The case has poor thermal performance. The NZXT H500, G21 or 275R would be decent replacements. 

There's absolutely no need for the CXM in Germany, nor the wattage. With an RX 580 you will draw like 300W, so get a good 400-450W PSU instead. The Vengeance and Pure Power 10 are available for less. Or even better, the Formula Gold or Focus Gold, get one of those two.

Why

In Eu atleast, that mx500 costs more, and ssd speed doesnt matter in games. why would someone pay 20€ for 2 second faster map load speed on ex. r6s? And is 450w REALLY enough for rx 580 8gb? Yes, I will get 8gb because 4gb is just not enough. And yeah, ram.. I just chose the cheapest DDR43000 ram I could find on pcpartpicker. Tell me if there is any cheaper ones. So advice me more about these things I am confused lol

There's no difference in the cooling, Ryzen 2000 uses less voltage so it's going to run cooler as well.

 

M.2 is the easy choice, makes life easier.

 

8Gbs is exactly needed for 1080p

Although I guess the Nitro+ Special Edition isn't the worst at $299

You can never have enough wattage on your PSU if it's a decent unit.

I'm taking the prices from PCPP DE. And the MX500 is €0,89 cheaper than the A400.

4GB is not enough, according to what, exactly?

The pricing on the RAM kit is from PCPP DE, where there are several other 3000MHz kits available for less.

4gb is not enough for me.. I was planning to get 1060 6gb which is slightly better than rx580 8gb, but I chose rx because free-sync. And ik that ram, what is the cheapest DDR4-3000 2x8gb ram possible?

No, it's not. It depends on the game. In PUBG or R6S, where the RX580 is faster. For the rest of them, they are easy enough to run.

PCPP has filters. https://de.pcpartpicker.com/products/memory/#sort=price&Z=16384002&t=14&V=1350,2500

4gb doesnt give enough fps for me. And ik filters. I checked and my ram was cheapest.. Have they added more ram on their site?
