[SOLVED] Could you please look at this build and give suggestions? Also a question regarding my old computer.

[orionflux]

Hi there! I'm wanting to build a new computer for gaming and video/photo editing. I saw the article about the new Ryzen 3000 processors coming out & am wondering if I should just wait, since it'd supposedly be in May, or if it'd be okay to build a new system now? What would you do? Currently, I have an almost 4 year old laptop and an even older desktop.

Laptop is an Asus X555LB-NS51: FHD, Intel Core i5 5200u, 750gb HDD, nvidia 940m GPU, 8 GB RAM... Bought in April of 2015.

Desktop is: AMD FX-6300, MSI 970A-G43 AM3+ mobo, Kingston v300 120gb SSD + seagate 1TB hdd, crucial 8gb RAM, Cooler Master Hypo 212 EVO, 850w PSU (forgot the brand, sorry) and a 1050Ti 2GB..

Is that computer good for anything?

Here's the list of parts that I picked @ pcpartpicker. Totally open to suggestions and modifications. Any and all help is greatly appreciated and welcomed. I'm also not opposed to Intel, just saw a lot of reviews and videos saying that the Ryzen was a good value.

AMD Ryzen 2700x
MSI B450 gaming pro carbon (I picked it because of the on board wifi) - Would this be okay for the new 3000 series coming out, if I decided to upgrade? - I do want a board with wifi.
G.Skill Trident Z RGB 32 (16x2)
Samsung 860 EVO 1TB
be quiet! Dark Rock Pro 4 cooler (from what I've read, similar temps to noctua, but better looking).. Wouldn't mind something like a Corsair h115i or something.
MSI Ventus GeForce RTX 2070
EVGA SuperNOVA 850w PSU
Corsair Carbide 275R Mid-Tower Case: https://www.amazon.com/CORSAIR-CARBIDE-Mid-Tower-Tempered-CC-9011133-WW/dp/B079JV8ZB9/

Already have Windows 10 Home. Want to add a BluRay player as well. Was thinking this one: https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIAG1H7UZ2651

Updated part list, removing the cooler and changing the PSU to 650W: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/8kRkKB

Thanks for your time!

since you can wait, just check out 3000
only comment on the build is 650 psu is good enough
I will use the rgb stock cooler comes with 2700X.

I'm not saying you shouldn't wait but just keep in mind, they generally announce and launch the fastest, (usually most expensive) CPU's first. The rest get trickled out to the market in the following months. (Just sating it may be longer than May)

That'd save a bit of $, too. Thanks.

That's a good point. Thank you.

You'd have to get an external disc player as that case is not designed to fit one, otherwise, 650w and that stock cooler is more than enough!

i noticed that, actually! lol so, decided to go with this one: Fractal Design Define R6 Blackout

thanks for being thorough and catching that, though!

I actually have the 275r case myself, that's how I noticed the problem so quickly
