Building PC - Help!

[eneko825]

Hello,
I'm looking to build a pc for WoW, something that would get me covered for next expansion.
So this is what I've mustered so far, could you let me know whether the parts are not compatible to each other, or just general suggestions to make it better?

(I don't feel comfortable with the idea of building a pc myself, so I've created this list on computerplanet.co.uk, so there's not a huge variety of parts.)

Thank you very much!

It is a fine configuration and the parts are compatible. The Graphics card performs good for WoW

All in all this is a strong PC, if you upgrade the graphics card later on, you will be able to play new titles as well.
The Ryzen 5 1500X comes with a cooler and thermal compound, buying the MX4 is not a must, but a clever addition. It seems to me, you know really well what you are up to!

Ryzen 5 1500X supported memory speeds:

Ryzen - DDR Maximum Frequency Support Table(For better DDR4 compatibility, it is recommended to follow the table below to install DDR4 modules. Please refer to memory support list for more details.)

Maximum DIMMA1 DIMMB1
DDR4-2667 SR -
DDR4-2667 DR -
DDR4-2667 SR SR
DDR4-2400 DR DR
SR:Single-rank DIMM, 1R x4 or 1R x8
DR Dual-rank DIMMs, 2R x4 or 2R x8


You should have no problem running memory with DDR4-2667. Enthusiasts who overclock can run memory speeds up to 3200MHz. DDR4-2133MHz is a slow speed for the processor you chose.

I would go with a higher clocked Ram, so get like a 2667, I would also suggest trying to get a gtx 1050 or 1050 ti rather than the gt 1030

Thanks for the feedback guys. I could squeeze the higher RAM, but the 1050 is out of budget currently. I'll stick around with the 1030 for now, and upgrade it in a year I guess. Thanks!

A GT 1030 is not a suitable graphics card, and is slower than the system recommended requirements for BfA. Ram should be in a 2x4 configuration, and at least 2666 speeds. SSD is nice, but for such a low budget system, that money is better spent on graphics and ram.
