Build Advice Final Build Review - $1,000 Budget (price including extras and peripherals) - Feedback and Opinions Please!!

[Pcguy0313]

As the title notes, my budget is $1,000 (including the monitor, KB+M, etc.) What do you guys think? I'll be ordering in the next day or so. I know the new Ryzen CPU's are set to drop at the end of the week but I'm comfortable waiting a bit on those and upgrading to them down the line. Thanks for your time!

Be sure your MOBO is compatible with 3000 series CPUs so you don't have to upgrade the MOBO later bc it wasn't compatible.

It's an AM4 B450 so no worries there.

I would get a WD Blue SN500 NVMe M.2 SSD instead of a SATA SSD. For $5 more you get a much faster drive.

Thanks for the suggestion! I will keep this in mind when ordering tonight.

Yes but not all boards will be compatible with the 3000 series right away is what I mean (probs?)

Bios updates are available, for that board. https://www.asrock.com/news/index.asp?iD=4238

This would be a bit faster, SSD wise, and faster on the ram. Gave you a bit more headroom, for overclocking/upgrades also.

1600 is $80 at microcentre if you can get to one. Also $30 off a mobo.

I wish there was an MC near me... I'd be all over that.
