First Gaming Rig

[Justincrediblee]

So planning on building my very first gaming rig this year and I would love to hear your guy's opinion w/ this build.

Processor: AMD Ryzen 3 1200
- Php 5,600
Motherboard: MSI B350M PRO-VDH
- Php 4,550
Graphics Card: Gigabyte RX 570 4GB
- Php 11,260
Memory: G.skill 8GB Dual
- Php 5,450
PSU: Corsair VS450
- Php 1,750
Hard Drive: Western Digital Caviar Blue 1TB
- Php 2,350
Chassis: Tecware Edge
- Php 1,680
Total = Php 32,640 Roughly around $631

I live in the Philippines so it's hard to find better deals, but I got lucky w/ some of the components (especially the RX 570).

I'm not familiar with this case, but it looks like a nice build.
PSU is a bit poor, but from what I could gather, it's tough to find a decent PSU in the Philippines that isn't like... 300$
should power this rig.

I would look for a better PSU.

I'm already stretching my budget that's why I picked the VS450 and the options you gave me will stretch it more. But I did look for some other options aside from the one you gave.

The Seasonic is a good option and the best of the 4. The Thermaltake is worse than the Corsair VS and the EVGA is about the same if not slightly better, the cougar is an unknown but going by other similar units from them it's best avoided.

So I've been thinking... would it be worth it to change the RX 570 to a GTX 1060 6GB for roughly 50 dollars more? or will the Ryzen 3 bottleneck the GPU?

If you can stretch the budget without compromising elsewhere then yes.

For the most part no, but in a cpu hungry game like Bf1(seems to eat quad cores) there will probably be a little but nothing that will prevent the game from being playable at all.
