New build. Leave suggestions!

A ryzen build would give u more bang in the buck
But overall, it's solid and balanced
However, u won't have any upgrade path to overclocking later on with that Mobo, so the longevity of ur system will be limited..
(Ryzen cpus are all unlocked so the problem above doesn't apply to them)
 


Ryzen had more cores/threads which mean it will handle multitasking and games that utilize multi-thread better, it will also allow games to have better stability since the works are being divided between the cores, all of this for a price that is pretty much on par with the i5 line-up, which means u're paying the same amount for extra cores/threads

While Intel wins in terms of single core speed, meaning that it will have a win in terms of maximum fps
However, this is only noticable if u're playing at 120 fps++, on 60hz monitors, u won't notice any difference other than ryzen having less dips in games that can use the extra cores

Ryzen will also allow u to stream smoothly (since the work are divided between more cores/threads).

PS: ryzen also comes with a free cooler, which is pretty decent even for a light OC, so buying an aftermarket cooler is not necessary (but u can still buy it)

@Lucky_SLS
wow 264$ for the 1060 6GB, are the prices becoming stable again?

@OP
this build is solid and balanced but had better value than yours
it comes with the 1060 (which suprisingly priced pretty good, dunno how did he find that one) which performs almost 2x the 1050ti
Ryzen 5 1600 which had 6c/12t
a SSD for your OS which means the booting + system processing time will be considerably faster

if u don't want the 2x4 RAM, u can always switch to a 1x8 with almost no impact in terms of gaming performance
 


i see 😱 in the end, it depends on what games he played i guess 😱
i personally prefer a 1x8 since later on i can add another 1x8 and so on
(i know there's a chance that it won't work, but well, there's also a chance that it will work so i guess it's pretty fair XD)
 


well if it's me, i wouldn't use it for gaming only, and if i can afford 32 GB of RAM, i wouldn't be stuck with a locked sandy-bridge i5 and 1050ti XD

but i dunno if OP share's the same opinion as mine :pt1cable:
 
Thanks for the help but I have one major problem
I want to keep the black and red theme for the ryzen build but I have to have a wireless adapter either built in it extra. I also have a strick $950 bc I also have to get mouse keyboard and headphones
