Hi,
after buying a new GPU (GTX 1050 ti) I have decided to build a new PC around it. Below is my first draft of what my new PC might be:

GPU: Gigabyte Nvidia GTX 1050Ti WF2 OC 4GB GDDR5 PCI-E
CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 1600
Motherboard: MSI B350 TOMAHAWK
PSU: Corsair 750W
Case: Corsair CC-9011107 Windowed Mid-Tower ATX Gaming Computer Case
RAM: Corsair Vengeance LPX 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR4

This is my first time building a PC so if anyone has any thoughts I would really appreciate them!

Make sure that memory you buy is at least DDR4-2666, preferably DDR4-3000 it makes a noticeable performance difference on Ryzen

750w PSU is excessive, a 450w is more than enough. the Corsair CX450M is a good choice.

Hey,
yes the RAM is DDR4 3000. Had a look at the PSU and that model looks grand. I need 2 8 pin pci-e and that has them so that perfect.

Other than that you do see any compatibility or other errors?

Thanks for your help!

yeh 750 is was too much for that system. ryzen and the gtx 10 series both sip energy compared to older 125w processors and pre-gtx750 era.

with the 40-50$ you might save going from a 750w to a 450-550 PSU you could go from a 1050ti to a 1060 and get a little more out of your processor. 1060 is wayyyy ahead of 1050ti and right now its only like 40-50$ more.


also, im having trouble finding that exact Case, but since its a midtower it likely only fits micro-atx MoBos

heres a good m-atx mobo. its got the usb 3.1, the m.2 socket, and the red ambient lighting similar to the one you had listed.

Rogue leader's suggestion on RAM is v good one. get a 3000mhz RAM, if the 2x8 is too expensive right now just get a 1x8gb @ 3000mhz or better and buy a second stick in the future if you think you need one. 8gb is still plenty for most gaming right now though.
