Two suggestions:

 

1. Get a 2x2 kit of memory, having only 1 stick limits how fast your memory is versus having 2 sticks.

2. I highly suggest getting a GTX 1060 with 2 fans, something like an Asus Dual GTX 1060 6GB, it's a little bit pricier but it's factory-overclocked and has 2 fans for additional cooling. The EVGA one you've picked is probably going to get pretty hot due to it only having a single fan.

I think it's pretty good, it's definitely better than mine. But like person above said, you should probably get 2 8gb sticks instead of 1 16gb (or 2 16gb if you want to waste excessive money)

No need for an expensive cooler, the stock one is good enough

Way better motherboard

And a slightly better gpu

Dual channel 3000 cl 15 mem 2x8GB

 

all for less money

Let's agree to disagree

I'm planning to overclock to 4ghz so stock cooler wouldn't be enough I don't think, but thanks.

I agree with everyone!

Most important change is the 2x8GB DDR4 Kit, the dual fan GPU is nice to have but if you only game with headphones it doesnt matter.

 

My additional suggestion: Get a WD 2TB HDD. Its only a few bucks more for dubble the capactiy, you never can have enugh storage ;)

dont get the first link, has the B350 chipset. I know not much of a diference. But newer mobo with longer BIOS updates is allways nice

The second link is nice!

The case is Badas but not cool quality whise or to bulid in :(
 

Allso someone did put a Crucial MX500 SSD in. Same performance as the 850 EVO but cheaper -> get the crucial ;)

it is all b450 so it will be fine out of the box with the 2600. I could not confirm some b350 did not say in the websites that they were ready for ryzen 2. yes the case is nice looking, building in it may be a hassle. But he isnt likely going to take his system appart that often so one nightmare is enough more most people. But yes built quality may not be great, but the looks could make him overlook that. That is all on him tho

sorry bro my mistake! To manny PcpartPicker Tabs oben LOL.

But yeh i had some problems with Thermaltake... cases "falling appart" and Customer service not caring about me...

 

About the B350 Mobos: Most of them have BIOS updates availibe to support 2xxx CPUS

BUT to update you need a 1xxx CPU. So if you get a bord wich was manufactured some monts ago you may have bad luck and get one wiht old bios. Wich you cant update unless you get a Update Kit or a older Ryzen from somewhere... NOOOOT worth the hassle....

I do plan to overclock to 4ghz also, Anthony, the evga 1060 6gb runs like an oven so I would still like to go for the Asus alternative 

I will upgrade to the 2600x though thanks

That board looks pretty rubbish. No vrm heatsinks at all.

 

I would suggest going with the R5 1600 and a Cryorig H7 and then getting a better board.
