PC build and PSU help??

[kmcmorrow135]

So I'm planning on building a PC to get into PC gaming but I'm not very smart when it comes to PC parts in general so could somebody please give me feedback on the build I have planned below and tell me if all parts are compatible and if it is a decent build in general. Take note I won't be playing many demanding games.

PC specs:
CPU: AMD Ryzen 3 1200
GPU: Gigabyte GTX 1050 ti
Motherboard: MSI B350 Tomohawk
RAM: Crucial 8gb DDR4
STORAGE: Seagate Barracudda 1TB
CASE: CiT Vanquish
PSU: (read below)

Sorry if I made an obvious compatibility error with these as I said above I'm not great with stuff like this haha.
Could somebody also recommend me a power supply that would suit this particular build?

I would greatly appreciate any feedback or recommendations

Depends on your location.

Right now, in the US, you can't really go wrong with the SeaSonic S12II 520W

It's a little bit of a dated platform, but for the price, it's a steal.

The CX450M is another solid option for a very reasonable price

For your RAM, I'd ensure you get speeds ~3000MHz. Ryzen really does show gains from faster memory.

Ok I think I'll go for the 450W and will spend more on RAM
What do you think of the rest of the parts ? Would they work well together?

 

[Barty1884]

Cant comment on the case as I've never seen it, but the rest is a pretty well balanced, budget, 1080p setup.

Make sure you overclock that Ryzen3 though, as there's quite the gains to be had through a modest OC (should be able to see 3.9GHz at stock voltages)

 

[kmcmorrow135]

yeah I think I will. Would i need to upgrade the stock cooler?

 

[Barty1884]

Not for stock voltages, no.

An aftermarket cooler is never going to be a "bad" thing, but it's not exactly necessary. The stock cooler will suffice. You can always replace in future.
