Hello everyone,

I'm getting back into the PC world after going through school for several years. I have decided to ditch my school laptop and surface to build a multipurpose PC which will handle my daily usage, working from home, and also be an entry-to-mid-level gaming build (Overwatch, GTA V, and other modern games). I was hoping to have some input from experts on the parts I have selected thus far and any tips.

Approximate Purchase Date: Within the next few months. Not time-sensitive

Budget Range: 1000-1250

Preferred Website(s) for Parts: I prefer Amazon Prime but am willing to go anywhere.

Country: USA

Parts Preferences: After some research, I prefer to use an AMD Ryzen CPU

Overclocking: Yes

SLI or Crossfire: Maybe, but only in the distant future

Monitor Resolution: 1920x1080

Additional Comments: I will be using this desktop wireless for a few months at least, so a good wireless adapter is necessary. I am starting from scratch also so this includes input devices and monitor in the cost.



CPU: AMD - Ryzen 5 1600 3.2GHz 6-Core Processor ($197.99 @ SuperBiiz)
Motherboard: MSI - B350 TOMAHAWK ATX AM4 Motherboard ($81.98 @ Newegg)

Total: $1232.03


Thank you in advance.

Looks pretty dope. Good part choices, you have done your research well. Only suggestion is, try to fit in a SSD in the mix. Will increase your pc performance manifolds. Cheers...

I actually had just deleted an SSD from the mix before posting. I was thinking about a small 120 GB to hold the OS and other software I use more steadily. Do you feel like that would be enough or should I upgrade to a 250 GB?
 
120gb will fill out in no time. I have regretted that purchase myself. Doesnt add any value.
Ideally with a 240-250gb, you make 2 partitions. Keep 100gb approx for your OS and other software installations. Game installation and other frequently used data like music and videos goes to the other partition.

Thanks, that'll definitely be helpful for me since I haven't really worked on computers since high school.


Anyone else have a suggestion? I'm taking not a lot of replies is a good sign :p
