Total comes to around 1196$

The configuration looks ok.
However, just drop the SSHD.
This one is unnecessary expensive (expenisve for the capacity you are getting) and does not bring any benefit for PC. (laptop is another story)
If you can not afford an SSD now, just get a normal HDD and buy an SSD later.

Also, wait a week or so. AMD is supposed to be bringing out new ryzen chips this month. I heard something about the 19th. If you can wait a week, maybe see what those look like.

If you go with the configuration above, maybe consider the 1600 instead of the 1600x. The 1600 should come with a decent stock cooler and should allow you to overclock to about the speeds of the 1600x, even on the stock cooler.

Then drop the sshd as suggested, maybe get a 240gb SSD, then a 1tb hard drive for storage.

Thanks guys. I will wait a week and see. I will drop the sshd and I think I can fit a 240 GB silicon Power ssd once I switch 1600x with 1600

harshavardhang513 · Apr 13, 2018

Now it's about 1165$

harshavardhang513 · Apr 13, 2018

Will it be worth upgrading to Ryzen 2600 as it is 200$ while I can get the 1600 for 175$

This will be 50% more powerful for gaming.

That last one is a very nice build. It still may be worth to wait a week for the new processors. Other than that it's a solid build.

harshavardhang513 · Apr 14, 2018

Thanks guys.

guanyu210379 · Apr 16, 2018

Those 2xxx procs and x470 mobos look really nice, I would really wait for those.

ohiou_grad_2006 · Apr 16, 2018

Totally up to the op. But now we are only talking what, 3 days or so I think.

guanyu210379 · Apr 16, 2018

ohiou_grad_2006 :

Teh review samples for those youtubers are already received by them. The unboxings are already available in youtube since 2-4 days. The benchmarking and OC results should be up very soon

The review embargo from AMD has been lifted since April 12th., 2018, if I understood it correctly.
You guessed it! I am hyped

ohiou_grad_2006 · Apr 16, 2018

Yeah, I don't think there is enough performance jump for me to upgrade from my 1600, but I'll see what the chips look like next year and in 2020.

guanyu210379 · Apr 16, 2018

if you have already the 1600, it is not a worthy upgrade.

ohiou_grad_2006 · Apr 16, 2018

Yep, my thoughts. I have a friend who's thinking of upgrading from a 1700x, but if you are only talking 10% jump, why spend the money.
