Hi.
I'm planning to build a new pc. I already have a CM 600W PSU and I plan to re use my Corsair carbide 400R case. I also have 24" LG LED monitor.

My current config is pretty much shit now (FX 4100 + HD6850 + 4GB ram + 500GB HDD)

My budget is around $800. I'll mostly be using my PC for casual gaming and enthusiast level photo/video editing.

With the ryzen 5 out now and the RX5xx series I am considering the following build:

1. AMD Ryzen 5 1600 ($220)
2. MSI Gaming B350M motherboard ($70)
3. Asus ROG strix RX570 4GB OC edition($190)
4. Corsair Vengeance 2x8GB LPX DDR4 3000MHz RAM ($130)
5. PNY SSD 120GB ($60)

Total = $670

Even though I have $130 extra, I think investing it would be an overkill for my requirement.

Drop in your thoughts below pls thanks :D

No problem. One more thing: RX 580 is only slightly more expensive - if you can, consider going for it, especially the 8GB variant. It is always a good practice to buy slightly above what you initially planned - and I'm sure it will last longer, with games being more and more hungry for VRAM.

I'll be using my existing 500GB HDD, and for the SSD I'll get the 256GB variant!
Thanks Man :D
