Hey guys, been fiddling around on pcpartpicker for the past couple of weeks, and with the help of some of my pc savvy friends i came up with this build for my first pc. https://pcpartpicker.com/list/kZ6Zbj
What do you guys think? I want to keep the limit below $1500, i am also getting an Asus VG248QE monitor as well. Thanks

> The stock Wraith Spire cooler is better than a lot of aft ones at that price point. So use that instead of the aft one.
> Ryzen shines with higher RAM, specially the GSkill units with Samsung B die.
> The 1070 is bad value right now when you can get the 1080 at a few bucks extra.
> Changed the psu to a better quality unit.
> A X370 board aint gonna offer much unless you plan to SLI/Crossfire or push extreme clocks, for which a quality AIO is required.

Optimized your build...

Wow, thanks a lot. Just one more thing, I'd rather not get a PCIE wifi adapter and would rather have wifi on the motherboard because i unfortunately wont be able to hard wire it... Does this one have integrated wifi? and if it doesnt, can you suggest one that works well with this build that has it? thanks again
