Ryzen 5 1600 + GTX 1080

gameforce54 · Jun 19, 2017

Heey !
Soon i will buy a new Gaming PC.
I chose R5 1600 with a GTX 1080 for playing on 1080p 144hz on ultra settings. There will be bottleneck between these ?
There is the build : https://pcpartpicker.com/list/VJ73Gf

BTW , it's ok the build , or should i change something ? Thanks !

No bottleneck with this setup. You should be able to play all your games on ultra just fine.

It is good to go ^-^

Chugalug_ · Jun 19, 2017

Ditto.
Some components are poor quality though and or poor value.
If you swap around some parts you can squeeze in a 1080 Ti.

The SPEC-04 is much better value atm, thoughts?

@Chugalug_
Can i OC on that MB ? It will be stable at 3.7-3.8 GHz with an aftermarket cooler ( Noctua - NH-L9x65 33.8 CFM ) ? Thanks again

Chugalug_ · Jun 19, 2017

Yes you can.
Do you already have the cooler?
That can be improved.

gameforce54 · Jun 19, 2017

No , i don't have any part yet. If you have some tips , it will be my pleasure to take some.

Chugalug_ · Jun 19, 2017

Stick with the stock 1600 cooler, it's fantastic, no need for an aftermarket one.

gameforce54 · Jun 19, 2017

Is worth the extra money for a X370 Asus Prime MB ?

Chugalug_ · Jun 19, 2017

No. B350 offers all you need, X370 would be a waste of money.

jowen3400 · Jun 19, 2017

Remember that the Higher the Res 1080p 1440p 4K the more the GPU is the bottle neck.

jowen3400 · Jun 19, 2017

the 370 does have stuff over the 350. More 3.0s PCIe and stuff.

Chugalug_ · Jun 19, 2017

That is easily the most inaccurate statement i've seen all day in regards to the GPU comment.
It's not a bottleneck as you put it, it's just the GPU performing to the best of its abilities.
It's like putting a Civic in an F1 race, and saying it's crap because it's not winning.

Extra PCIE lanes are irrelevant in this case, @OP would find no use for them.
At most, there would be a sound card, a wireless card and a GPU or perhaps even two GPUs in there.

gameforce54 · Jun 20, 2017

Hey Chugalug_ , the Corsair - Carbide SPEC-04 (Black/Red) it's ok ? You have other alternatives ?

Chugalug_ · Jun 20, 2017

Yep, it's a great case.
Do you not like the look of it?
I can post a few alternatives.
The SPEC-01 is also a good option in your range.

gameforce54 · Jun 20, 2017

I can spend 20-30$ + for another case , if is a good one . If you want to post some alternatives , it will be my pleasure. Thanks again bro !

Chugalug_ · Jun 20, 2017

Phanteks P400S Tempered Glass is $69 atm, NZXT S340 is $69, Fractal Design Focus G is $49.
They're the main ones.

gameforce54 · Jun 20, 2017

P400S TG Black is $90 , i think i'm going with the NZXT S340 Black/Red . It's a good choice ?

Chugalug_ · Jun 20, 2017

Yep, it's a solid case.

gameforce54 · Jun 20, 2017

So , i think my final build will look like this :

I want the 1080TI ,but i don't want to lower the performance of other components. I don't know what to do.

) It's ok what i chose ?

Chugalug_ · Jun 20, 2017

No need to go for the WD Black, I know you don't want your drive to fail, but all half decent ones are covered under a warranty anyway.
As long as it's a Western Digital or Seagate you're fine, the WD Blacks are insanely overpriced though.
Get what I listed, performs the same, has high quality components throughout the whole system and performs 35% better, no reason to change from it.

gameforce54 · Jun 20, 2017

Ok man , thanks a lot for all ! So , i have a question. I'm from Romania, Europe. My godparent wants to send me the whole system (from America, USA ,LA) and i will assembly there. It's a good idea ?

Chugalug_ · Jun 20, 2017

Yeah that's fine provided they're buying in the US, make sure it's all packaged with foam peanuts and padding, and that the boxes are stacked efficiently with little wiggle room.
Get everything except the case from the US, that can be bought locally, the weight is a killer for shipping on that one.

gameforce54 · Jun 20, 2017

Man , you are the "Grandmeister"

Thanks for all of your support and promptitude ! You are a true " man " ! Have a good day , sir !

Sofus Pedersen · Aug 15, 2017

I have build this exact combo but just with an msi b350 tomahawk and one stick of 16 GB DDR4 2133 ghz ram.
But i get very low gpu usage especially in battlefield 1??? somtimes down to 50% and the framerate is terrible.
