Is this PC build good? Or should I change something?

Hi everyone!

I want to buy a new PC, so I'm thinking about the following components for it:

Processor: AMD Ryzen 5 1600 3.2GHz
Motherboard: MSI B350M Bazooka
Graphic card: Sapphire Pulse Radeon RX 560 2GB OC GDDR5
RAM: G.Skill Ripjaws DDR4 3000 PC4-24000 16GB 2x8GB CL15
SSD: Samsung 850 Evo SSD Series 250GB SATA3
HDD: Seagate BarraCuda 3.5" 1TB SATA3
Power source: EVGA W1 500W 80 Plus
Case: NOX Hummer ZX Zero USB 3.0

The aim of the computer is not to play mainly (just League of Legends - does not require good graphics), but also to some programs that might require some processing (like matlab).

I'd like to know also about synergies among components. Will a Sapphire graphic card work better with a AMD processor that with an Intel one? And does the motherboard play a role there too?

Any recommendation is well appreciated! Thanks for all!

Looks pretty solid. In terms of graphics card compatibility, there is no advantage to AMD vs Intel based on your CPU brand.

You will likely be better-off with a GTX 1050 Ti at that price point, for a GPU.

For the GPU, I don't mind to change to that one, but I've been looking for some products, and, is there any difference between Zotac, Gigabyte, Asus, MSI...? Appart from that, GTX 1050 is around 130€ (2GB GDDR5 one), but is it worthy to take a 4GB one, that is 30€ more expensive?

Thanks for the answer!

I would say that the additional VRAM is worth it in most situations.

In terms of brand, they are all going to be close. Choose based on price and cooler design, possibly factory OC.

Considering that you can get a GTX 1060 3GB on Newegg for $220, I can't really recommend spending 160€ on a 1050 Ti

Anyway 220€ is getting the overall budget too high. I will consider it anyways, as in the benchmarks it is considerably better, but still 100€ difference

They are $220 USD, that is 185€ . Only 15€ more than the 1050 Ti 4GB that you mentioned.

Can you send me some references? Because if it is only 15€ I will probably take that one

Depending on where you are shipping to that extra cost may come into play:

• 
  ■ Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1060 Mini ITX OC 3GB
  ■ ASUS GeForce GTX 1060 3GB Phoenix Fan Edition
  ■ ASUS GeForce GTX 1060 3GB Dual-Fan OC Edition
  ■ Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1060 G1 Gaming 3GB REV2.0

My apologies if your location makes these cards cost more than I indicated.
