Build Advice Budget setup, overall, how is it?

[TheUltraMarine]

Alright, so with a current budget of about $860 for a setup (Not just the PC), and that's what I did, I put together a list of PC parts as well as 3 key peripherals, a monitor that supports Freesync for the RX 580, a keyboard with at least Red RGB to keep a Red and Black setup, and a mouse which is also RGB, here's the part list: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/BxzqXv

I also want to know if the 3200G can handle the 3600 Mhz of the ram since I've heard that Ryzen can get finicky when it comes to high speeds of ram, but I want to know how good the setup is overall.

a R5-2600 is only $40 more. By swapping to a cheape case, you can ge a much better cpu:

So is there any way you could find a case with a side panel window similar to that price? If that's not possible then that's fine.

EDIT: The price of the whole setup has now gone up by about $25 due to te 2600 suddenly going out of stuck on Newegg.

If you can find a 1600 AF for the same price (under £100) I'd get that, since it pretty much is a 2600. You'd be better of with 3200mhz RAM though, possibly.

We're talking about the 12nm version correct? (The 14nm is slower) If so, then its actually only $10 less on PcPartPicker via Amazon, and almost no one else has it, and I don't exactly want to get one from someone who already has it and is marking it up higher to make a profit.

Yes 12nm = AF. The price has been crazy recently. Lowest I've seen it was in the UK at £90 ($110) in the last few weeks.

So should I still go with the 2600?

It's a no brainer if it's only $10 more.

Alright, thanks!
