Hi,

First time system builder here...I've spent quite some time trying to put together a good value system. I will mainly be using it for work purposes including photo editing, but would like the option to use it for VR should I get a VR headset...

I think it ticks all of the boxes, but I just need to make sure I've not missed anything out and also that everything is compatible....Can you more experienced builders just give it a quick look over?



Thanks for your help,

Ben

First-generation Ryzen 300-series motherboards might potentially require a BIOS update (using a first-gen CPU) before they support the newer cards. You might be better off looking for an X470 or B450 board, both of which support overclocking.

These are changes I would recommend. Also, depending on games you play, I would recommend a 6GB 1060 as some,games can,use the extra VRAM
