Looks good. As for overclocking, see this: http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/amd-ryzen-5-1600-cpu,review-33907.html you will find there how R1600 behaves in games, both on core clock and when OCed to 3.9.

You don't need 2 packs of fans mate , the elite comes with 2 fans preinstalled as exhausts.

Get yourself a pair of 140mm fans for front intakes instead.

If you want to change all the fans mate that's entirely up to you (I wouldn't but its not my rig)
Still absolutely use 140mm for the front intakes though , it will give you a slight positive pressure system.

A minor nitpick is that ram.

While I'm personally using the same stuff myself & have had it successfully overclocked to both 2666 1t & 2933 2t (which is no guarantee you'll manage the same) you are honestly better off dropping an extra $10 on some 3000mhz stuff to save the hassle of manually setting it all up.
There's a fairly big performance edge between 2400 & 2666/2933.

Thanks allot, so basically i switched the RAM for the vengeance since there where some problems with the g.skill ones and the vengeance were on sale on new egg so the build now actually costs less

, and i switched out 1 dual pack for 2 af140 white fans to put on the front.

Also one more question if you look at what fps and such i want think the gtx 1060 armor 6g oc could handle that or should i choose the gtx 1070 armor which is $130 more expensive? If not i might just ordering everything today or tomorrow since the sale for the vengeance ends tomorrow, oh and also its free shipping on newegg and that is fantastic cause i live in the netherlands and the shipping costs was pretty pricey.

Build right now: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/Tj27JV (fans are white but they didn't show up)

Re 1060 vs 1070 - yup the 1070 costs more because it's a far stronger card.

The 1060 is a very good 1080p card , the 1070 is an exceptional one.
Realistically you buy what you can afford , the 1060 is going to do above 60fps on 99% of titles at high /ultra at the moment .

Really it's about card lifetime & future proofing , the 1070 will probably still cut it 3-4 years down the line , realistically youll get 2 years out of the 1060 until 2018 titles & it'll probably be medium settings then.

This is just a guesstimate of how things have panned out since the last gen maxwell cards.

You can get good newegg deals delivered to the Netherlands ??

Last time I tried ( I'm in the UK) the shipping & import taxed added around 25% on - was cheaper to buy locally for me.

Well i thought i did but i just checked they don't ship like 5 of the products and the shipping was $111 so im just gonna order them locally xD. So guess im sticking with the 1060 since i don't have any spare money, allot of people also tell me to get an SSD is it really worth it or should i just pass since i don't really have a problem with waiting a extra minute for things to load up?

DRagor · May 30, 2017

If you don't mind waiting for things to load up, you can go without SSD. My rig runs without SSD, and I don't feel like I'm suffering because of that.

madmatt30 · May 30, 2017

^ you feel like youre suffering only when going from a system with an ssd to one without one really.
What you dont have you dont miss,win 10's hibernate function offers 10 second boot times even on a traditional drive anyway.
Id laways use an ssd but budget is budget & its definitely not a necessity if you have to cut component quality elsewhere.

same experience I had,once you goto final checkout it whacks all the shipping charges & taxes on.

If you find yourself cost cutting because its more expensive tobuy from your own country here are a few options for you.

ASrock b350 pro 4
https://tweakers.net/pricewatch/736877/asrock-ab350-pro4.html

I know its not as nice looking as the tomahawk but its 15-20 euro cheaper & its still a really good board _ I own it,cant fault it,looks really nice in a white case.

standard s340 white - you lose the ful length window but thats about it 30 euro saving
https://tweakers.net/pricewatch/422393/nzxt-s340-wit.html

rx 580 4gb - good card,cheaper than any 1060 6gb in the netherlands - slightly weaker but not massively so.
https://tweakers.net/pricewatch/771763/asus-vga-rx-580-4gb-dual-oc-gddr5.html

corsair cx550 - just a damn good quality psu for the money
https://tweakers.net/pricewatch/745439/corsair-cx550.html

if youre still struggling budget wise simply dump the aftermarket cooler - while the h7 is great you can do 3.8ghz with the included stock spire cooler.

No probs mate,I personally see the ryzen having a massive lifespan,I can see it still doing the job 5 or 6 years down the line.

I'd personally take a 8gb RX 580 over a 1060 , performance is about the same & yet historically amd cards have always aged better than their nvidia counterparts.

Ye that is true, i just looked it up and the RX 580 is more expensive then the gtx 1060 over here lol. Wish i lived in America where everything is like $200 cheaper ;_;.
