My first PC build (please tell me what you think about it)

[stormman34]

So my classmate wanted me to build him a 600-800€ rig. It was my first time building a PC (all of the experience I had to this point was just watching LTT) so I probably should have posted here earlier but whatever. And I checked compatibility on pcpartpicker.com So here's the build (all AMD):

GIGABYTE B450 AORUS PRO WIFI (rev. 1.0) (I read that B450s aren't great overclockers but he doesn't want to overclock)

CPU AMD Ryzen 5 2600 6 core (3,4GHz)

GIGABYTE Radeon RX 570 Gaming 8G

4x4GB DDR4-2666MHz Patriot CL19

SSD 240GB PATRIOT Burst

HDD 1TB Seagate BarraCuda 64MB SATAIII 7200rpm

Cooler Master MasterWatt 550W, 80+ Bronze, eff. 85%

Cooler Master midtower MasterBox MB600L, ATX, USB 3.0

PS:Is it fine if I'm a GIGABYTE and PATRIOT fanboy? (cheap>quality)

Change the memory to 2x8gb @3000 or 3200mhz, the system will perform significantly better.

Everything else looks fine.

 

[stormman34]

would it run any faster on 4x4GB @3000/3200MHz than on 2x8GB @3000/3200MHz?

Nope.

Ryzen will actual do better with 2 sticks rather than 4. And as recommended above get atleast ddr4 3000 with a CAS of 16 or lower. Also don't skimp on the PSU, Cooler masters budget psus aren't good. If on a budget get the 550w Corsair CX is a better option, you might also be able to get a Corsair Vengeance which is even better.

I'd like to order the corsair one but it isn't available in my country. Would EVOLVEO G550 be good?

 

[stormman34]

or Zalman, Fortron, Fractal Design?

 

[bignastyid]

A fractal edison M would be OK(that model is made by Seasonic).
