I am planing on Building a PC for the high end games and specially the VR use. I own one but I wanna Change main parts and Keep the rest. So this are the components I am going to buy to upgrade my PC:
https://de.pcpartpicker.com/user/apalace/saved/QydjXL
- AMD - Ryzen 5 1600 3.2GHz 6-Core Processor €200
- Asus - PRIME B350-PLUS ATX AM4 Motherboard €92
- G.Skill - Ripjaws V Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR4-3000 Memory €130
- Crucial - MX300 525GB M.2-2280 Solid State Drive €150
- Asus Dual-GTX1060-O6G €275
=========
Total: € 846
=========

The rest which are from my old PC are :
- Thermaltake Armor+ Case (Big tower)
- CORSAIR CMPSU-750TX
- 2 x WD Caviar Black 500GB HDD 7200rpm 3.0Gb/s serial ATA sATA 32MB cache 3,5Zoll intern

Now do you suggest me to Change any part and replace it with a better component? How do you see the list?
Another question , I found a pair of RAMs about €8 cheaper than the one I listed above, it says as follows :
"G.Skill F4-3200C16D-16GVK - 16GB(8GBx2) G.SKILL Ripjaws V DDR4 3200MHz C16 1.35V Kit"
You can see it in this Amazon link https://www.amazon.de/dp/B0153XBZKW/ref=cm_sw_em_r_mt_dp_khfKzb237A6J0
Do this RAMs fit in my choice? Are they supported and work well, or are they only for Intel processors?

Thanks for any comment!

Performance between the two graphics card will be quite the same, but definitely go with the cheaper one. The Asus dual has, well, dual fans, while the Mini only has one. While this does not equate to more performance directly, it will allow for a little higher overclock.

Yes you can go with the second one, but don't expect to be able to actually run it at 3200 MHz - you'll have to lower the frequency to 2933 or maybe 3000 MHz. Performance difference will be almost zero in games, so get the cheaper option.

For pure gaming, 8-cores isn't all that better unless you plan on keeping the processor for a really long time. 6-cores will be fine for at least 3-5 years, while 8 cores will last you 5+ years. If you don't mind upgrading the CPU...
Does look pretty good to me. Wouldn't change anything personally, everything looks great. Someone else might see what I may have missed, but this is still pretty good as is.

As for the other RAM, it will work just fine, but I don't think it'll run any faster than the first kit, simply because Ryzen always seems to run memory at one speed below the rated speed, and 3000 MHz won't give you much increase over the 2933 you'll get with the first kit. Get the first one or second one, wouldn't make a difference.

Thank you for your fast Reply!
While I was looking and searching for components, I found even cheaper ( and hopefully better) Graphicscard, I chenaged the list above, I just replaced the "Zotac ZT-P10600B-10M GeForce GTX 1060 6GB GDDR5" with this one "Asus Dual-GTX1060-O6G Gaming Nvidia GeForce " in this link https://www.amazon.de/dp/B01IPFN7UQ/ref=cm_sw_em_r_mt_dp_t2gKzbNECEXFW
Do you think this Asus one is any better? I will save over €20.

About the RAMs, thank you for your clarifying.. But with the second one I can save about €8 , although it says 3200MHz, so therefore I was afraid that it is not for my MOBO or CPU or it may be worse than the first one with 3000MHz. So you mean I can go with the second one (at least to save few Euros ) without any problem ?

Last question: I was thinking about buying Ryzen 7 1700 instead of 1600 , I will pay about €93 more, so the Price may increase to €939 while I saved a bit by changing the 1060 Graphics.. What do you think about the Processor 1700 with all the components in my previous list?

Thanks in advance!

If you don't mind upgrading the CPU within 5 years, the Ryzen 5 1600 is fine. But if you're doing any kind of video editing or any other multi-threaded work, then the Ryzen 7 1700 will be better, simply due to more cores and threads. Streaming while gaming is another place where 8-cores will help run things better not just in the future but even today. Multitasking, video rendering, animation, all these use as many cores as they can get their hands on, so the Ryzen 7 1700 will offer better performance in these areas. If you want this, get the Ryzen 7 1700, otherwise save your money, the Ryzen 5 1600 is still a capable beast.
