Based on my analysis, this is my combo (Price/Value):
Ryzen 1600
Flare X 3200 MHZ, CL 14, 2x8GB
MSI GTX 1070 GAMING X 8GB
Mobo??? (would like to stick to MSI - MSI B350 GAMING PLUS?)
Seasonic Focus Plus 650 Gold
SSD Crucial MX300 275GB
Seagate BarraCuda 2TB
SilentiumPC Regnum RG1W Pure Black
Purpose
90% gaming
10% aps
- I expect playing at 1080p, I would like this PC to be able to handle new games for 5 yrs-ish - maybe try some 4K in future? Then I will most likely replace it (less likely try to play a bit with OC or upgrade some parts). I would like to keep the backdoor open - BUT its not as important as getting price/value 1080p gaming PC which will stay on "top" or as close to it for as long as possible.
My main concerns:
- Is Ryzen/1070 Gaming X/Flare X combo optimal or can I get better gaming performance at same price/value with other components?
- Mobo is a nightmare (neither Gskill lists MSI Gaming plus in QVL, nor MSI lists Gskill in QVL - why Gaming plus then? Because it looks nice and I want to have case with a side-window ). Will Gaming Plus run my memory at 3.200 MHZ or should I better get MORTAR or TOMAHAWK?
SIDENOTE Its 1600$ combo in my country (CZ). Its like 1,6 times average net income here! I would NOT like to make a wrong choice here.
Grateful for any advice! Thanks in advance!
