First Gaming PC (Ryzen)

This is a build im very proud of and im planning to buy this in exacly 1 year from now when i finish school, so the gpu will be replaced by the r11 680 (or whatever it will be called). I chose ryzen because its better than the i5's in my opinion since games have started taking advantage of more cores.

But is there any way to make it better with the current budget ? (1200€ for pc, 300 for monitor)

I think it looks like a solid build, of course things can change quite a lot in a year, perhaps you can snatch the entry 8 core at that time for the same budget. What i would look out for is 1: Faster RAM ( Prices might be better in a year), Larger main drive SSD. The PSU you have is more than enough, you could get away with a lot less watts and perhaps get a better monitor ( 144hz ). Again, prices can change a lot in year.

hi, the 120gb ssd is enough for windows and the 2-3 games im playing atm thats all i need since i only plan to game on that system

the psu is the same price as the 650w one so why not be ready for a big gpu

also i value resolution over 144hz so if i had that much gpu power i would go 1440p ips

Never, ever pick your parts out a year ahead. Things will be drastically different in 12 months. Likely ryzen 2 will be out certainly the 1100 or 2000 (not sure of the name) Nvidia GPUs will be out and at least Vega from AMD if not the follow up to polaris as well. And Intel will have released a new processor line. Check back 2 weeks before purchase at most.

Ryzen is indeed a better choice over an i5.

that mobo is hideous, i would rather pay 50 more just for looks(also the ram) and getca 120gb ssd since i dont want more. Also i dont need 144hz since i play story based games and i kinda want to keep it all amd so do you think the vega gpu thats supposed to go against the 1080 will work well with a 1440p 60-75hz freesync monitor ?

im planning on keeping the 580 and 1080p monitor for 2 years and upgrading to 1440p after

Stop asking questions we can't answer this thread makes no sense. It's possible every part in your Build except the case, PSU and ram will no lomger be manufactured 12 months from now.

So what you're saying is that you want to cripple the performance of your build by 50%, cut down on SSD storage and speed substantially and halve your monitor's refresh rate because you just want everything to be AMD?
An RX 580 isn't enough to power a 1440p display either.

 

[Supahos]

Don't worry chug in a year the 580 won't be the top end card which is why this whole exercise is pointless

Mmm, time period is way too early to plan.
