is there anything you'd sub out? maybe something a little cheaper which would have the same performance or maybe something a bit more expensive that would show a significant improvement in performance. i understand there would probably be better options for the case but unfortunately i live in egypt and cases especially are low in supply, if you can find a better case in website im using above that would be great.

Get the 2600 instead of the 1600... http://www.egprices.com/en/product/amd-ryzen-5-2600-6-core-3-4ghz-3-9ghz-turbo-socket-am4-65w-desktop-processor-compu-data-center
There are some significant improvements made with the new Ryzen, that will make it perform better and last longer.
But you need to make sure the motherboard BIOS is updated to accept the 2600.

bmockeg · Jul 24, 2018

As suggested, get 2600. If possible get a B450 motherboard instead of B350, some,are available now. Get DDR 3000mhz if possible.

omegadoom13 · Jul 24, 2018

I agree with the suggestions of getting 2600 over the 1600.

Have a read about AMD mobo/bios Ryzen 2 "issue"

would this motherboard work with the ryzen 2600?
http://www.egprices.com/en/product/asus-prime-b350-plus-socket-am4-motherboard-new-vision

if yes would it be a good choice or would you recommend another board?

michaelfortini7 · Jul 25, 2018

bmockeg :

tbh im completely clueless when it comes to rams, i don't know the difference between all the brands. i found many 3000mhz on this site but idk which to pick

madmatt30 · Jul 25, 2018

^ absolutely with vapour on the ram & gpu above.
Case not so much ,although it is arguably better than,the versa.

I'd take the mx 310

Add a pair of these fans

& for 1150 you'll have a case with sublime airflow.

madmatt30 · Jul 25, 2018

Im going against the grain & saying stick with the ryzen 1600 for 4 reasons

1. Its 500-600 L.E cheaper
2. Its really not significantly weaker than the 2600, certainly easily strong enough for a 1060 3gb.
3. It has a better cooler supplied with it.
4. You don't have the issue with bios compatibility you may likely have with the ryzen 2*** series.

Board ? I'd go with the asus prime myself over that gigabyte.

sounds good?

madmatt30 · Jul 25, 2018

The only issue is the ram, 1 is not optimal.

Ryzen loves memory bandwidth & single channel is some w5% slower than dual channel.

A 3000mhz stick is slightly slower than a pair of 2400mhz sticks..

Don't get me wrong, it will do the job & performance will still be good.
Just not as good as it could be With 2 sticks.

michaelfortini7 · Jul 25, 2018

madmatt30 :

would these be worth the 400 LE difference?

madmatt30 · Jul 25, 2018

-^ yes absolutely.

vapour · Jul 25, 2018

Yep, that is the cheapest 3000 2x4 I can find on that website.

michaelfortini7 · Jul 25, 2018
