This is the build im going for:

Ryzen 5 1600 3.2GHz 6-core processor

MSI - B350 TOMAHAWK ATX AM4 Motherboard

G.Skill - Ripjaws V Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR4-2666 Memory

Corsair VS550 PSU

ASUS GTX 1060 6gb GPU

Vortex Core ii Case

Apart from some storage is this all good and do these components all work together?

Help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks, Luca.

It's just the cheapest PSU. There's a reason Corsair has something like 10 different product lines in the PSU category. :D

For a 1060, it'll probably be fine. But I've seen the older VS reboot under heavy loads with higher end graphics cards because the group regulated design can't handle the sudden transient loads. It also doesn't have DC to DC, so it may not support all of your motherboard's sleep states. It's also not as efficient as better models. Also, the fan can get kind of loud under higher temperatures.

I would suggest at least stepping up to the CX Series (like CX550). Make sure it's the one with the GRAY label. It's very future proof as it uses LLC topology and DC to DC. It's also slightly better efficiency.

Thanks!
2 questions, what is wrong with the PSU does it now power the other components enough? And does this current PSU have all the cables needed for the components?

Thanks, Luca.
