The case is overpriced, the motherboard is poor, the PSU is low quality and Ryzen games on par with Intel above 1080p, has twice the threads, meaning it will last much longer and perform even better as games begin to utilize more threads with DX12, UE4, Unity etc.
Pretty much a 7700k and more.
Also cheaper, so bonus.

Terribly balanced, also get a Ryzen 1700 system. :)
You also need a HDD.
I've gone a bit over to put the H5 Universal in, cut it to a H7 if you want to save.
