Final Build Review

1. separate packs of ram may nort work together, you will probably need to sell 2x4 and buy 2x8 back.
2. 1060 6gb can not do 1080p 144hz in AAA games
3. no Gsync with gforce gpu may result in micro stuttering
4. you don't need X370 for Ryzen 1600 oc with stock cooler :)
5. I will spend more on a better PSU, CX450M is decent budget psu though.

Max budget? Will find you a better build for the money :)
