Building a new PC

tmotu · Jul 13, 2017

After reading and accumulating data, I've selected these as PC parts. Can you help me with the compatibility and all suggestions are welcome.
-AMD Ryzen 5 1600x.
-Aorus Radeon RX580 8gb
-Kingston SSDUV400/ 120gb
-EVGA Supernova NEX650g
-Kingston Hyperx (2x8gb) Ram
-Seagate Barracuda 2TB.
-GamerStorm Maelstrom 120k
I am planning to use MSI b350 as Motherboard.

Will this work?

YoAndy · Jul 13, 2017

Just make sure your Memory Ram is ddr4 other than that everythings looks good.

tmotu · Jul 13, 2017

YoAndy :

Yup. They are DDR4. MSI B350 is compatible with all these?
Thank you in advance!

Dulith1118 · Jul 13, 2017

go with the 1600 instead of the 1600x and use that money to get a liquid cooler other than the 120 one u have and overclock the 1600. Its the best thing to do tbh. Atleast in my opinion

Chugalug_ · Jul 13, 2017

Nope, it doesn't all look good.
RAM needs to be high frequency, RX 580s are sold out or overpriced atm, the PSU is absolutely dreadful, the CPU should be a 1600 for the beefy stock cooler, and the AIO is terrible.
What's your budget?

tmotu · Jul 13, 2017

Dulith1118 :

I'm going to stick with 1600x. (sorry about that) Although would you suggest one more Liquid Cooler along with 120k ?

Chugalug_ · Jul 13, 2017

That's a silly choice, what's your budget?
I'll show you what you can get, the 1600 can EASILY OC to the same level as the 1600X, and it saves you so much.

Chugalug_ :

I have the Rx580. I have all the parts mentioned above (shipping in a few days) except for the mobo.
$1500 AUD. Max

Dulith1118 · Jul 13, 2017

Chugalug_ :

Exactly once u use a decent cooler with the 1600 u can easily get the performance of the 1600x for less.

Chugalug_ · Jul 13, 2017

........
Can you cancel them all?

The power supply is junk, and the rest are poor value.
Memory also needs to be at least 3000MHz with Ryzen.
Remaining budget without the GPU?
1150?
You also didn't include a case.

Yes I can cancel them all. Ill keep the GPU since they are on a shortage and build one around it, as you suggest.

I need more storage that's why the 2Tb Barracuda. And I'll be going out of Australia, hence no case.

Chugalug_ · Jul 13, 2017

Where are you going?
If you're going to Europe, the US or Canada, prices will be better.

tmotu · Jul 13, 2017

Chugalug_ :

India.

Chugalug_ · Jul 13, 2017

Eek okay yeah buy now.

tmotu · Jul 13, 2017

Chugalug_ :

I'm ready to spend more on storage. So 3/4 TB is fine. And also can I use the g.skill RGB rams? Seems fascinating.
Could you give me a final list?
And thanks for your advice.

Chugalug_ · Jul 13, 2017

If you really want them that's fine I guess.

Dulith1118 · Jul 13, 2017

would change the psu though not the best quality one. Will give u some problems on the long run once u overclock it. something like a evga or seasonic budget onces are much more better

Chugalug_ · Jul 13, 2017

Incorrect, the updated CXM units are very high quality. (Black label)
Also unless you're going for a B2/G2/P2/T2/3 unit, EVGA has some terrible PSUs like the NEX units, B1 series and 430w.
