New Ryzen Build

Hey guys.

 

Gaming PC is on it's way out, built it originally ~5 years ago so it was due an upgrade regardless. I don't do as much gaming as I used to back then, so not planning on spending too much. Around the 500-600 mark would be perfect, cheaper if possible. I've already got a case, ram, PSU (Corsair 650w semi-modular, so I'm trying to work around not replacing it), OS and all peripherals, so all I'm really needing is a CPU, Mobo, storage and a new GPU.

 

Mainly play Overwatch, Destiny, LoL and CIV.

 

Came up with the following:

Just wondering on peoples thoughts before committing to anything. Biggest worry is the cooler really, not planning on overclocking the CPU so not worried about temps unless it is going to overheat (which is shouldn't, have a Corsair 450d so it's pretty good for airflow), just the coolers brackets and whatnot for the MOBO.

 

Cheers.

I'm at work right now so I can't be certain, but I'm sure it's either Cooler Master 650M or a Corsair 650M. 

 

I'll check for certain later.

 

If it comes to it I'll happily replace it, just figured I'd save money if I didn't have too.

 

Yeah, I've got 2 8gb sticks of corsair vengeance that I've not used.

See edit above ^^ I guess you already have RAM then.

The RX 580 will poop on the 1050 Ti. You could also look for something like a used 980 Ti or 1070 maybe. Should be around the 200-250 euro mark on a good day, and will handily beat the 580. The 2600 will perform great for the games you listed. Actually for all games pretty much. 8 cores is a bit overkill, and not needed if you're on a budget.

Ah, thank you very much. Appreciate it.

 

Yeah, I got given it as my friend got 2 sets from amazon somehow, so I've held onto it for this reason :).
