Hi im planning on buying Gaming/streaming PC (Price - around 1200€). I would like to know if this PC build is good and if any different component would make it better or if any change in the build would improve it. I take any advice you can give me but please have on your mind that i'm really tight on budget. The max i can really go is 1280€ , 1200€ or bit less would be ideal. If you have any advices how i could make the build better by changes in components or adding something let me know e.g. RAM in this build - are they good and isn't 2400 Mhz too slow ? And also all of the components in the build are non LED or RGB (just MB is with little white led) is it big deal when you have windowed side on pc case and inside case there is no light and its all black ? won't it look weird ? because i was thinking if i shouldn't buy the case without windowed side. The last thing is SSD in the build you can see that there is no SSD. It's because right now as i said i'm really tight on budget, can't go much higher with price and i'm planning on buying M.2 SSD samsung 960 EVO in near future (2-4 months after buying PC) and add it to the build but not right now because of the price and because the pc itself will work without SSD. I'm planning on mostly playing games and streaming but I also like to do graphics.
BUILD : GPU - MSI Armor GTX 1070 Ti 8GB 446€
CPU - AMD RYZEN 7 1700x (not planning on BIG OC) 222€
RAM - Adata 16 GB DDR4 2400 MHz XPG GAMMIX D10 (2x8GB) 153€
HDD - Seagate Barracuda 1TB 46€
CASE - SilentiumPC Regnum RG4T Tempered Glass (pure black) 47€
MB - MSI B350 PC MATE 89€
OS - Windows 10 Home OEM 97€
CPU cooler - SilentiumPC Fera 3 HE1224 (not planning on BIG OC) 25€
PSU - EVGA 750 GQ 93€
PRICE - 1218 €

Well i would say the main and only reason is price. The only 2nd gen ryzen that i could go with are ryzen 5s and maybe ryzen 7 2700 but also I don't know how much and in what the newer ryzen cpus are better then the older ryzen cpus. Is it worth it to pay extra 70€ for ryzen 7 2700 or to go from older ryzen 7 to newer ryzen 5 (not paying any extra money, but less cores) ?

I would say that a 750 watt psu is a bit big and wasteful for this build, unless you plan to eventually run 2 gpus. And yeah the higher the mhz on ram with ryzen the better, other than that, I don't see anything wrong with it, should be good for a good while

Add Windows into the price and you are in your budget.
1. A 2600X is a newer generation and will perform better than a 1700x in gaming.
2. Better quality motherboard and newer B450 chipset.
3. Faster DDR 4 3200mhz, GSKILL is the best also
4. Added an SSD for faster system performance.
5. Upgraded your GPU to 1080GTX
6. Better quality PSU.
7. Solid good looking case.

Thank you so much for helping i like this build. I have just two more questions. Is it safe (if you don't have any experience with that, at least what do you think about it) to buy Windows key for 7-10 € on e.g. kinguin or cdkeys ? I'm asking because 90€ is big difference. And second question is if using mATX MB will in any way affect pc build ? (in games, normal everyday using)

MATX motherboards are fine, they just lack additional pcie slots that most people never use.if windows price is a big deal, just use it for free. Don't buy from kingpin. You don't need a Windows key to use. You just wont be able to personalize, ie change background image and such, and it will have a watermark in bottom right.
