Gaming PC Build

[nemanjastojanovic6]

Hey guys! I am building new gaming PC and I am wondering about parts.

CPU: Ryzen 7 1700
GPU: GTX 1070 TI
PSU: Thermaltake 650W
Motherboard: ASRock x370 Pro4
RAM: 8Gb Team Group 2400MHz

And I will be getting HyperX Cloud II headset and I wonder if I should upgrade some of my stuff and get less expensive headset or if you have any suggestion to improve my build. I will mostly use it for gaming but for recording and streaming too. Thanks!
I am looking to stream at 1080p newer games like Fortnite and PUBG, but mostly Overwatch probably.

EDIT: Ryzen 5 2600 is option because it is 40e cheaper than ryzen 7 1700 here. But will the difference be big because of 2 cores and 4 threads less??

I'd buy https://www.amazon.com/Seasonic-SSR-650FX-Modular-Warranty-Compact/dp/B073H33X7R instead of that Thermaltake. The Seasonic is just better.

Double the RAM amount and MAYBE go for Kingston or Corsair 3000MHz instead of that cheaper single stick. You're streaming and RAM is a KEY part of streaming. A streamer needs more RAM than just a gamer.

Another thing should I maybe go for ryzen 5 2600 with 2 less cores and 4 less treads because it is 40e cheaper than ryzen 7 1700?

The 2600 is faster in gaming than the 1700. I would also go with DDR4-3000MHz for the RAM as otherwise you will be starving the Infinity Fabric.

So should I get ryzen 5 2600 and 16gb 3000MHz?
Or is the 40e for ryzen 7 1700 worth? I will be overclocking probably

1700

Even with overclocking the 2600 will be faster clock for clock over the 1700. Only in heavily threaded applications will the 1700 be able to beat the 2600. Also I would go with an x470 or b450 motherboard as they have better RAM compatibility. https://pcpartpicker.com/list/6dPkWD Here is a little bit of a guide as something that I would look at building with the 2600.

I would consider getting a good aftermarket cpu cooler if you plan to overclock later.
