First PC Build

fredkay123 · May 24, 2018

This is my first PC build and I’m looking to get a pretty decent one that could last a while without needing major upgrades. My budget is 1,500 for the whole system and I’ve done a little research and made a build. But because of my lack of experience I’d like some input on my build list and what you guys think would be best to change or not change. I’m going for a 1440p monitor with 144hz display.
Here is the link to my build, many thanks

Edit: Useful information...

> Newer gen. Ryzen should perform better and comes with a beefy cooler. The board should come with BIOS updated for Ryzen 2 support, but make sure to check with vendor as he can do it for you if its already not updated.

> Ryzen works better with faster RAM.

> Better SSD with individual RAM cache for faster performance and more space.

> Better GPU/PSU.
