New Build Compatibility Check

[alexleesmith49]

Hi guys, I'm looking to build a PC and I just want to make sure that all the parts are compatible:
1. Case: Corsair Carbide 275R
2. CPU: Ryzen 5 2600
3. Motherboard: MSI B450m Mortar Titanium
4. Ram: Vengeance LPX 2x8 16GB
5. PSU: Corsair CX550M Semi-Modular
6. Storage: Seagate Barracuda 1TB

I understand that the Ryzen 5 2600 will not run without a GPU, hence I'm using a ZOTAC 1050 while waiting for the launch of the new RX 590.

Any advice is welcome

What speed is your RAM on? I would recommend going or 3000Mhz or3200Mhz that way you use it to its full potential (according to Motherboard's maximum speed support).

You might also want to consider buying a very very cheap 60Gb SSD. You can find one for less than 20$. It might be some cheap brand but you can use it to install windows, which will make it boot in less than 1 minute, even with a cheap Chinese-brand SSD.

You also might want to add a couple of case fan as the Carbide only provides you with 2 if I remember correctly.

Hey, thanks for the quick and very informative reply

Regarding the ram, I'm looking at the 3000mhz version. Since you said its a good idea to add in case fans, I'll see if I can get some second hand ones for sale . will definitely buy the SSD like what you suggested. Thanks!

Otherwise, I hope there shouldnt be any compatibility issues between the components?

Regarding ssd, save up and get a 250gb or 500gb one like the Samsung 860 Evo or crucial mx500.

U can use AMD StoreMI till then.

Go for an atx mobo. Why use a m atx mobo?

Corsair txm, seasonic focus, evga g2 /g3 550w not available?

Yep. Everything looks good in terms of compatibility.
