Hi, Im just wondering will all these parts work together? as its my first time building a pc ! I put them through a website and it came back saying there could be some "bios" issues, but from looking at others it seems common enough. Also Is this graphics card suitable to do some light gaming on as my main purpose for this pc is editing ?
Here are the PC components...


Gigabyte AMD GV-RX550D5-2GD 2 GB 128-Bit GDDR5 Memory DisplayPort/HDMI/DL-DVI-D PCI Express Graphics Card

MSI AMD AM4 B350 PC Mate Ryzen Gen DDR4 VRR M.2 Audio LAN ATX Motherboard - Black

BitFenix BFC-COM-100-KKXS1-RP - Comrade Midi-Tower - Black

Samsung (MZ-V6E250BW) 250GB EVO PCI Express 3.0 x4 NVMe Solid State Drive

Corsair CP-9020121-UK CX Series 550 W CX550 ATX/EPS 80 PLUS Bronze Power Supply Unit - Black

Corsair CMK16GX4M2A2666C16 Vengeance LPX 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 2666MHz C16 XMP 2.0 High Performance Desktop Memory Kit - Black

AMD Ryzen 5 1600 Desktop CPU - AM4/Hex Core/GHz/16MB/65W

Thank You for helping me,

looks good, as long as you don't put a heavy o.c. on it.

the vrm is not as strong as some of the other b350 boards, under heavy oc, the motherboard will get hot.
seems that your case only have 1 rear fan, if you intend to o.c., it's a good idea to add an front fan for air intake.
the compatibility issue are likely from the memory support during ryzen launch, but most of the issue have been addressed by now.
Just make sure that you flash the latest bios before start.

other than that, everything looks fine.

Hey thank for replying, would you be able to recommend a case I should get than that has two fans ?
 


there are many many options, depends on your budget, you just need to look into the spec and make sure it says front fan / rear fan (included) as many case will offer 4~8 mounting point but only ship with 1 fan (included)

if you really like the case, you can get a 120mm case fan (ranging $5 (cheap led ones) to $30 (rgb, pwm))
and install it yourself. your motherboard provides 4 system fan header (not including cpu fan), means it can control 4 case fans directly from the motherboard. you want to use these fan header as mb will control fan speed based on motherboard / cpu temperatures (less noise, only speeds up when it's hot) vs using molex 4pin which run the fan at 100% all time.

IMHO, this bitfenix case is a bit pricy given your price range, you can definitely get a cheaper case and put the saving towards a stronger graphics card such as 1050ti, which improves gaming experience by a great margin. but that's going off topic. =]

 
This is a good case on a budget. Good airflow and aesthetics with adequate features for its price point...
