is more than enough and a higher quality platform (Superflower Leadex 2)
Ryzen loves and greatly benefits from faster RAM. look for 3000mhz as a starting point. seems to be the sweet spot.
get t triple or double fan GPU. a single blower type means when the fan dies the card dies, more fans can limp along till you replace.
I cannot see spending 100 on a case. so that is what paid for the changes.
oh and a 1700 instead, the SSD paid for the CPU differencs but the SK hynix unit is a solid performer
