Posted October 8, 2018 that cheap fan controller looks like a waste of 40$ but otherwise not the worst build ever Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted October 8, 2018 You should try to get a 2x4GB set of RAM, and if you can swing it go for 3200 speeds on them. Ryzen processors love fast dual channel RAM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted October 8, 2018 I agree with the dual channel sticks with a higher Hz speed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Ryzen box cooler is quite good for those CPUs. Changed the RAM to something dual channel and a little faster removed the fan controller and increased the storage size of your SSD.

Posted October 8, 2018 Couldn't agree more with what has already been said. Ditch the 212 Evo for now, as well as the fan controller. Asus motherboards have nice fan speed controllers that you can setup either within the UEFI or through a software. So no need for a physicall external one.

Posted October 8, 2018 Here's what I would go for instead of the original suggested list : PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant Type Item Price CPU AMD - Ryzen 5 2600 3.4GHz 6-Core Processor £149.98 @ Amazon UK Motherboard Asus - PRIME B450M-A/CSM Micro ATX AM4 Motherboard Memory Team - Vulcan 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR4-3000 Memory £71.49 @ CCL Computers Storage ADATA - Ultimate SU650 120GB 2.5" Solid State Drive £20.94 @ CCL Computers Storage Western Digital - Caviar Blue 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive £35.76 @ Aria PC Video Card EVGA - GeForce GTX 1060 6GB 6GB SC GAMING Video Card £235.46 @ Amazon UK Case Fractal Design - Core 1000 USB 3.0 MicroATX Mid Tower Case £42.46 @ Scan.co.uk Power Supply Corsair - RMx (2018) 550W 80+ Gold Certified Fully-Modular ATX Power Supply £75.45 @ Ebuyer Prices include shipping, taxes, rebates, and discounts Total £631.54 Generated by PCPartPicker 2018-10-08 21:33 BST+0100 I would go for a 2600 instead of a 2600X since you are paying a B450 chipset motherboard anyway so you are probably willing to overclock, even slightly. This will bring the 2600 very close to a stock 2600X. If you want a 120GB SSD, then go for the cheapest reputable one, because nowadays 120GB is very little storage. ADATA is a very reputable manufacturer. For the case, I'd choose something more ventilated and cheaper for a similar build quality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
