Is this Ryzen Raven Ridge build reasonable?

[Sath8888]

Hi,
I am planning to build Raven Ridge PC which is fairly future proof and upgradable.
This is the Mini-ITX build i thought of:

AMD Ryzen 5 2400G
G.Skill Flare X 16 GB DDR4 2133MHz
AsRock Fatal1ty AB350 Mini- ITX
Fractal Design Core 500
Corsair CX-M CX 450 450 watt PSU
Samsung 860 Evo 250 GB SATA III
WD Blue 1TB- 7200 RPM

Is this build reasonable?
If not, please suggest alternatives within a similar budget.

P. S,
I live in India, where parts are usually not available at reasonable prices

sacrifice your hdd for a 550w psu like the cxm ,and add that hdd later on.
if possible can you get a higher speed ram, ryzen benefits alot from higher ram.(ofcourse in dual channel)


looks really good (ask the store to update the bios for you !!!!)

I would disagree with that. Right now this setup would run on 300 W PSU, and the only reason to get more would be if OP plans to get GPU later - but 2400G are cool option only if you don't plan pairing it with GPU (or wan't GPU but don't have cash for one right now). Seeing as this is miniITX build I guess there are no plans to add GPU later.

hmm..about the 450W PSU, it is good for your current build but how is your plan in the future? A dedicated GPU is planned or not?
If you do plan for a dedicated GPU, which performance class are you aiming, GTX1060 6gb and below or GTX1070 and higher?
Including your OC plans will affect your PSU choice, even if it is not for now.

In the future, I plan using a low level card like a GTX 1050 Ti or RX 460

 

[superninja12]

than keep that psu
my other suggestions remain.

 

[guanyu210379]

If you are only sitcking with 1050Ti or RX460 level, 450W should be still ok.
But, only good 450W PSUs are reliable for that.
CX series is not exactly among the best but also not that bad.

 

[Sath8888]

Thanks for the responses. I will wait a little longer for more ideas.

Looks decent to me, now I would add a CPU cooler so you benefit from free extra performance from overclocking.

 

[Sath8888]

Is the wraith cooler coming with the Ryzen not good enough for low-medium level usage?

 

[superninja12]

wraith cooler is even enough for some overclocking. dont waste your money on that.

 

[guanyu210379]

The stock cooler is enough for stock frequency and mild OC.
If you are not planing to OC it aggressively, no need to get aftermarket cooler.

Guys, between Gigabyte ab350n gaming WiFi and asrock fatal1ty ab350 which is better? And can i connect multiple fans to them?

 

[superninja12]

Asrock.

asrock imho more durable whereas gigabyte has more features... but both get the job done

 

[madmatt30]

^ absolutely agree with asrock over the gigabyte.

You need to make sure the board is updated to take the raven ridge chips.

You also want faster ram , 2400mhz absolute minimum & I personally woulsnt go below 2666mhz with the apu's if you're using the integrated graohics

 

[Sath8888]

Thanks guys.
One more question, between
Samsung 860 Evo 250 GB
Samsung 850 Evo 250 GB
Sandisk SSD plus 240 GB
Kingston A400 240 GB
WD blue 3D NAND 250 GB
Crucial MX500 250 GB
Which is the best SSD?

 

[madmatt30]

860 evo
850 evo
Mx500/wd blue 3d nand (the newer model)
SanDisk ssd plus
Kingston a400

In order of best to worry.

I'd base choice on price personally , if the sanmsungs are within $15-20 of the crucial & wd they 'may' be worth paying extra.

The SanDisk & Kingston I'd steer clear of personally.

Thank you for the advice
