Hey guys...

My mate wants to get into PC gaming (coming from console), but doesn't know what parts to choose. Hence he wants me to select the parts for his PC and has given me a certain budget. The reason why I'm posting here is because I want to clarify with you guys if this is a good part list or not...

Here is the specs:

CPU: AMD Summit Ridge Ryzen 5 1600
CPU Cooler: NZXT Kraken x52 RGB v2
MOBO: ASUS ROG x370 Strix-F
GPU: EVGA GeForce GTX 1080 Hybrid
RAM: G.Skill TridentZ RGB 3000Mhz CL 16
PSU: EVGA SuperNOVA 650 G3
Storage: Samsung 850 Evo SSD - 500 GB
Monitor: AOC 24" G2460FQ - 1ms

Do you guys think that 500 GB SSD storage would be enough to hold both the OS and some games, or would it be too demanding.

I would like to point out that me and my mate live in Denmark, so the prices here are quite high... Thats why I went with the Hybrid as he would like either an ASUS or a CLC GPU. As the CLC GPU was cheaper, I threw it into the list.

Thank you for reading this! I hope you were able to understand as english is not my native language. :)

Cheers!

 


Hello, and thank you for answering!

My friend's budget sits around the 2300-ish Euro mark. And no, I don't think buying from Germany is an option. :/

Since you think it is a poor value choice, could you please recommend some parts which are quite similar. He wants RGB Ram, and since G.Skill are supported by ASUS AURA, that mobo was a must for him. Do you know if G.Skill TridentZ Ram supports MSI Mystic Light. I have considered the MSI x370 Pro Carbon as he loves RGB lol.

EDIT: I spoke to my friend and he says that it is possible to get some parts from Germany. :)
