Need PC tips

Retch

Hello!

So I'm about to build my first ever PC (only had a prebuilt since 2012) and I need some tips

 

So my build looks as follows (excluding RAM):

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/pH6FKB

 

The components are identical to the ones im looking at since I'm in sweden the prices are a bit different compared to what pcpartpicker has to offer.

 

My questions are as follow:

1. What RAM is good for this ryzen build

2. Is that b450 motherboard good enough for OC (both processor and RAM wise) or is it worth with x470 chipset?

3. If i would like to in the future, would it be possible/easy to mount a 240/280mm AIO in that case with those parts?

4. Since it's my first time, I dont know what color schemes goes well together. Would this build look good aswell? how powerful would the rgb be from wraith prism and rog strix in the dark?

 

Lots of questions but wanna make sure I make as few mistakes as possible when building my first PC

 

Thanks in advance :)

Dont really have a set budget. But I would be willing to go up to maybe $2000ish or more, but only if the difference is noticeable enough.

 

Also, my main goals with it is to be able to stream games without to much of a fps hit (mainly games like csgo) and also have a good base for 1080p/1440p at high framerates for atleast a few years to go. I generally only upgrade pcs once every 5 years or so

I would get an X470 board as the 2700X will cook the MSI boards VRM's for breakfast.

 

Any branded 3000MHz kit is good for Ryzen.

 

You can get a cheaper but high quality PSU from Corsair, the CX550M. The modular version is great value.

 

With the saved cash, get a higher capacity HDD.

What motherboard would you recommend and is it a heavy upgrade compared to the b450? 

 

Also, any tips on RAM? :)

Is the rog strix x470-F/x470-I good options?

I've heard the crosshair VII is like the best but its almost twice the cost here in sweden

As almost everyone says: higher speed and lower latency RAM is a big deal when buying Ryzen chips.

About the motherboard: Ryzen 7 2700x will fry b450's VRM, so buy at least buy an X370 board.

Alright, so In sweden the biggest PC company is one called INET and they have a "pc builder" there. Its in swedish but should be relatively easy to navigate through anyways.

 

If you wanna take your time and help me here to build a ryzen build for about 19000kr (preferably cheaper) this is the link: https://www.inet.se/datorbyggare/chassi/valjfler
