Hello, I'm planning to get new PC configuration, I think I'll be complete somewhere around September 2018.
Rate my next build:
- CPU: Ryzen 5 1600 (stock cooler) = $200
- GPU: RX570 4GB / GTX1070 = $370 / $600
- RAM: Crucial 1x8GB 2133MHz DDR4 = $0 (already have this)
- MB: Gigabyte AB350 Gaming = $100
- PSU: Seasonic M12II-620 EVO (80+ Bronze) = $100
- HDD: Toshiba 1TB = 0$ (already have this)
- SSD: Kingston 120GB = $49
- Case fans: Corsair AF120 Quiet Edition x4 = $11.5 x 4 = $46
- CASE: MS Industrial Cyclops V = $0 (already have this)
- Monitor: LG 22MP58VQ-P (1080p60HZ) = $0 (already have this)

I know that I would need faster RAM, but I'll get one when the prices go down because they are extremely expensive now.
I can't get any monitor with a resolution higher than 1080p because for my country they are really expensive all the time, so I'll stick with this one I have.
This is the order of buying:
GPU first, because now I have Pentium G4600 so that would be enough for some games on high/ultra and normal/high for latest games I hope.
Meanwhile, I'll get Case fans and SSD maybe.
Then around July/August, I'll get PSU+CPU+MB.

As I don't have this build right now, it is good to discuss it and if there's something I should get that's better or cheaper.

Thanks for any suggestion.

Well it's a decent build for right now. But you have to consider new CPUs and motherboards and possibly GPUs will be released by later this year and you could probably get a Ryzen 5 2600 for the same price. So I wouldn't set anything in stone just yet.

I suppose since you already have 1x8GB DDR4 that is what you will use for now. But do know that would benefit from 2x RAM modules running in dual-channel.

Some of those prices sound steep. $100 for Gigabyte AB350 Gaming and $100 for M12II-620 EVO.

Use https://pcpartpicker.com/list/ to save your build and find the cheapest retailers for certain parts. Maybe you don't have pcpartpicker for your country??

You already have a G4600?? You could just buy an i7-7700K when you decide to upgrade. It would be faster than the Ryzen 5 1600.

What country are you in?

Well everything you say is good, but my country and my country standard isn't good :D
I'm from Serbia, I can't use partpicker for my country and prices here are around 20/30 percent higher than the US.
i7 7700(k) for my country is around $400
Ryzen 1600 + Gigabyte AB350 Gaming = $200 + $100 = $300

I know that i7 is better but if I get on AM4 and get Ryzen 1600 or as you say Ryzen 2600 when it's out, I can get roughly the same performance if I overclock my CPU, and much better, later I can get Ryzen 7. If I get i7 7700(k), then that's it, and besides that, Ryzen + Ryzen motherboard are cheaper for me than i7 7700(k) so that's also an advantage for Ryzen.

Later I'll get 2x8 modules that are supported for Ryzen (3000MHz) but now I'm on the edge of my budget with the config that I stated above.

Thanks for your suggestions. :)
