[SOLVED] Need Help With PC Build

[corey21]

I’m about to build my first pc and am wondering if these parts will all work together.

AMD- RYZEN 5 2600 3.4GHz 6 core processor
ASUS-Prime B450- plus ATX AM4 motherboard
ASUS-GeForce GTX 1060 6GB dual video card
EVGA-BR 500w 80+ bronze certified ATX Power Supply
Crucial-Ballistix Sport LT (2x4GB) DDR4-2666 Memory
HZXT-H500 ATX CASE
Corsair 120mm Fans

Yes it is a good combination of performance and price and they will works well. But I want to say that buy 1x8 GB RAM instead of 2x4 GB because in future if you need put more ram then you can add more RAM without removing previous ones

Thanks for the quick reply! What if I put in Corsair - Vengeance LPX 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR4-3000 instead?

It is better option.

That motherboard appears to have four [strike]CPU[/strike] RAM slots, so that shouldn't really be a concern, and only having a single stick of RAM would result in a small performance hit.

As for the amount, a 2x8GB kit is probably a good amount to go with for a system intended for gaming, as some games are already beginning to benefit from having more than 8GB, and you'll likely find that to become more common in new releases over the next couple years.

Edit: Typed the wrong abbreviation there. : D

I’ve swapped the ram for Corsair - Vengeance RGB Pro 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR4-2666 and the motherboard to Asus - ROG STRIX B450-F GAMING ATX AM4 Motherboard.

Do not go with one stick of memory or your motherboard will operate in single channel mode.

 

[corey21]

So 2 sticks of 8GB?

Yes, some triple A titles are utilizing more than 8gb of system memory including the OS and going with 16gb of system memory will give you enough overhead to not have to upgrade your memory in the near future.

Thanks! One more question I was looking at the msi Radeon Rx 580 8g but would I be better off to spend the extra money on the ASUS-GeForce GTX 1060 6GB?

 

[SgtScream]

What monitor do you have?

 

[corey21]

Don’t have one yet that’ll be bought after I put the build together

 

[SgtScream]

I'd go with a freesync monitor proprietary to AMD and get the RX580 8gb.

 

[corey21]

I’ll go with that then thank you.

Yeah, the RX580 and GTX 1060 6GB are very similar in performance across games, on average. Each will be a little faster in some games and a little slower in others, depending on which architecture a game works best with. The RX580 can be somewhat more power-hungry under load, but generally costs less, and Freesync tends to be more common than G-Sync on less-expensive motherboards, if you are interested in enabling adaptive sync.
