first build, requesting tips

[veltoc]

i have been doing research for awhile now, without the money to back getting something to nice. tho with holidays coming up, and good amount saved I can afford a decent build. with that I preset a semi budget gaming pc. however in the past I built stuff and it didn't work so I don't want this investment to go out the window. is their any issues (like a part wont last, or something of the sort) for the current build I have. the goal of the build is being as cheap as I can make it, while being reliable, will hold its own in top games for years to come, and can be used to record high end games and decent settings.
for those wondering. my current "pc" is a 3 year old hp pavilion 17.. I hate integrated graphics now.

Thanks in advance

A single DIMM purchase is a bad thing. It cuts the memory bandwidth to the CPU in half. Spend the extra $$$ and get a matched set of two DIMMs. Or get a set of two 4GB DIMMs if you just can't spend the extra.

major issue is too slow ram and you will want dual channel ram, faster than single stick.

You will not want to go cheap on PSU.

Overall I think you did well picking the parts.

Tips, 6GB vRAM would benefit in the future. At least 2666MHz RAM with Ryzen is best. Dual-channel RAM is also a better for performance.

Side note: you've got mail-in rebates included in your prices.

Good build the only thing I would defiently change is get 2 stick of 4gb ram instead of 1 for better performance.

Also if you can find a 6gb 1060 within you budget I would recommend it since some games are very VRAM heavy.

The one thing to keep in mind if that you will have to most likely change around the motherboard standoffs in your case for the Micro ATX motherboard. Not hard to do.

bu...corsair isn't cheap tho.. just on sale. il look into changing the ram out, however those changes bring the price up a good amount.. whats wrong with the mobo of choice? also was there reasoning behind the ram, or was it just 2x4gb pick?

I believe in upgrading when new comes out and selling your old GPU. As long as you're getting enough of an upgrade with the new.

I think you'll enjoy the 3GB for now.

from what I have, almost anything. now a major issue with my build my friends were having was intel vs ryzen. each saying the others will die within a year. you able to speak to a side?

 

[volkgren]

Either will last a few years. I hear Intel is bumping up their core count again next year with 8-core i7, and adding hyper-threading to the i3 and i5. Things will always be changing. Ryzen 5 1600 is one of the better value chips if you want to buy now and not buy again for as long as you can.

or this whichever you like better.

Memory: ADATA - 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR4-3000 Memory ($84.99 @ Newegg)
