I already have the Case, PSU, and HDD. Will the rest of the components fit into the case okay? And is there any changes you would make besides the Case, PSU, And HDD. Thanks.

Also, I've always bought CPUs with fans that came with them. Is the CPU fan I selected okay?

Thanks! :)

Invest more into your motherboard. Get a better one. A micro atx motherboard will barely fit everything you want to put on it and I mean with the build you're going for your motherboard is just as important as everything else.

Note the CPU cooler will need a separate mountain bracket as well. Use the wraith cooler it comes with or make sure your hyper evo contains the proper mountain bracket.

You're getting a great computer hear but I would recommend adding on an SSD drive for gaming, and also maybe considering getting a fully modular PSU that's a bit higher end even though you don't want us to mention it.

You're spending a lot of money on a good card, a great CPU and good ram, but you're you're cutting costs where things matter like a good PSU to really maintain your card's voltages properly, and a good motherboard makes a huge difference when it comes to ryzen models.

Looks good, but get a SSD. You can find good 250gb ones for around $100. You'll never regret it.

Can you please link one? I've never heard of such thing. (A mounting kit that is)

Update: (Edit) Looking at the CPU cooler on Newegg, It comes with a "UNIVERSAL MOUNTING SOLUTION
that Supports the latest sockets from Intel and AMD." Is this a mounting kit?

Can you maybe suggest a good motherboard? Also, I've never heard of a mounting kit. Would you mind linking me one that would work?

If it's not on the qvl for the motherboard, the system may not start with it, and I've not seen much geil ram on any qvls (qualified vendors lists) for any am4 boards, I have seen a lot of people though struggling to get there system to start with geil ram though.

People above were saying I should look for a different Mobo, Any suggestions?

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/Mhg2M8 I also switched the Ryzen 1600x to just the 1600. I plan to maybe OC it a little higher tho.

Here's the qvl for the ASRock board you were interested in, and that geil ram isn't on the qvl http://www.asrock.com/mb/AMD/AB350M/#Memory

Next, there's nothing wrong with that ASRock board, except it's micro atx and you are getting an atx case, you might be better off with an atx motherboard instead, but only if you want to full fill the case, if that doesn't bother you, get the ASRock.

Last, stay away from gigabyte, they are the worst for B350 motherboards, skimped on them big time, there x370s are great though.

Good move going for the non x especially if you plan to overclock, the x is disabled as soon as you start to overclock, so therefore a waste of money

Okay, Mind taking a look now?

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/QrrTTH

All of the qvl for that mobo took me to all the french/russian links but it said corsair vengeance was supported. I also looked up some completed builds using this mobo and they were using this exact ram. Also, Will I be able to OC the CPU higher?

Thanks again.
