Hello all. I did very little research ( because I am lazy and spend money like I got it ) and threw this PC together to play some games. I am curious how I did and would like honest opinions. I can take it. I would like to go to a 4K monitor but I believe I would need to update my gpu. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Motherboard - MSI X470 Gaming Plus Max
CPU - Ryzen 7 2700X
GPU - Radeon RX 580 8GB
RAM - Vengeance RGB Pro DDR4 16GB 3200 MHz
Power Supply - EVGA 750 W Bronze
SSD - Samsung 860 EVO 500GB
HDD - WD Blue 3TB
Monitor - LG Ultrawide 29" 2560x1080

It is definitely a good system, for sure. But it isn’t a well optimised system relative to the money you spent on it. I’d wager there would be a more optimal configuration for the money you spent.

But that’s just us on the internet talking. If it makes you smile, then you’ve done well.

Pretty good, I would have gone to 3700x and 3600 MHz RAM.

Thanks all. I appreciate the feedback. I should have done more research to optimize my build as navask01 mentioned. It would have saved me a few bucks. I look at it as a lessoned learned. I do enjoy it very much though and that is what counts. No problems running anything I have played so far so that is a thumbs up in my book. I think I have the bug now so upgrades to come and eventually another build. Take care and be safe put there.
