Thanks for getting back to me so quickly! I've found this pcie wifi adapter that should suite my needs. Do you have any suggestions for choosing a more solid PSU / keyboard?

Thanks for your feedback! Swapping out the power supply and switching over to pcie wifi seems to be the general consensus; the options you have put in seem solid to my inexperienced eyes.

Tomahawk has pretty bad reviews.
For that price, 1070 ti is better.
better wifi + bluetooth
The SAREPO mechanical keyboard has promotion right now, free gaming mouse.
My price does not count rebate, which will reduce cost further.
You'd better get a 1080p/1440p 144Hz Gsync monitor too.

All of those changes seem pretty awesome! Only thing is that RAM prices/availability seem to be fluctuating a lot, so I might have to give it a bit or choose an equivalent.

Any idea how much RAM speed affects the Ryzen 5? If nothing like this comes back into stock within a few days I might be tempted to go with a more readily available, slower model like this.
