New Ryzen 7 1800X Build

[eoinrorystein]

Hi guys,

I'm looking to build my first PC on a bit of a budget and I have noticed the incredible value for money of the ryzen 7 1800X.

Due to the insane prices of GPU and RAM at the moment I am looking at using the 1050Ti and 8GB RAM until I have a budget for upgrading my PC in the future.

Below is the entire parts list I am currently thinking about.

Anyone got any thoughts or help with any components I should swap in or out?

Thank you so much!:

[vapour]

what is your major usage? As detailed as possible pls
ram is too small to fully utilize 1800X imo.
cooler too weak for any further overclocking
B350 not the best choice for 1800X if overclocking

Max budget?

Hi,

Yeah I realise that 8GB RAM is low for this CPU, and I will be looking to upgrade it is as soon as I have more money
