Gaming PC Components

[deltathreepointfive]

Hello! I have a list of components for my gaming PC, but I haven't bought it yet because there could be a chance of incompatibility. If someone could look it over, give me some tips, or lower the budget that would be greatly appreciated.

Processor: AMD Ryzen 7 1700X 8 cores, 16 threads ($334)
Motherboard: ASUS Prime B350M-E AMD Ryzen ($98)
RAM: Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB DDR4 DRAM ($186)
GPU: ASUS GeForce GTX 1050Ti 4GB ($280)
Hard Drive: Crucial MX500 500GB 3D NAND SATA 2.5” internal SSD ($99)
AND
Western Digital 1TB 3.5” 7200 RPM SATA III ($50)
Power Supply: EVGA 100-W1-0500-KR 500w 3-year warranty ($54)
Case: Rosewill Challenger S Gaming ATX Mid-Tower Case ($60)
Operating System: Windows 10 Professional 64-bit

If you could look it over, maybe give me some tips (as this is my first time building a PC) that would be amazing. Thanks!

Please change the power supply. That is a very low quality unit not designed for high performance gaming systems. Other than that, the CPU is more than enough for the GPU. Perhaps a Ryzen 5 1600 + a GTX 1060 6GB, or whatever is more balanced for your budget.

It would help if you told us the country and currency you were listing these prices.

I currently live in Canada (I forgot to mention) and should i get a 750w or higher power supply?

No not necessarily. Quality matters more than quantity with power supplies. A good quality 550W or 650W is all you need.

Recommended power supplies:

Corsair TXM or RMx (CX 2017 or CXM if you're on a low budget)
EVGA G2 or G3
SeaSonic FOCUS or FOCUS Plus (S12II/M12II if you're on a low budget)

..good power supplies cost a little more than you see all those cheap low quality units listed for.

The newer Ryzen 2600 and 2700 CPUs have made some nice improvements over the older 1600 & 1700 models. I'd really recommend going for one of the newer ones but that does raise a possible issue with the BIOS version of the B350M-E so I'd check with the supplier to make sure it supports them.

For a better gaming experience a better graphics card and cheaper CPU like Vokgren suggested is definitely worth considering. A ryzen 5 or i5 CPU with a 1060 6GB is all you need for 1080P gaming at very high quality settings, the 1700X and 1050TI combo you listed will have to drop to lower quality settings and/or get lower frame rates by comparison.

I'd personally go for a 2600X or i5 8400 if building to a budget myself.
