R5 1600 Compatability for new build

[pmloganplayz]

I was wondering if there were any underlying incompatible parts for this budget build I was planning on building,

The main things I'm confused on are the ram speeds and mobo compatibility with R5 and certain ram? Idk, I'm confused rn and wondering if I can get some good quick second opinions.

Thanks for the help!

You need to change a lot here:

1. Don't need CPU cooler, stock is enough.

2. Buy a B350 board, A320 is meant for OEM and office-work systems.

3. The A400 isn't a good quality SSD, if you want a cheap, good SSD try the WD Green.

4. Get a better power supply if you want this PC to function properly. A Corsair CX450 will suffice for the GTX 1060.

Update: You should ideally be looking at 16 gigs of RAM as well, if it is within your budget. Games need more than 8 GB sometimes, and can slow down considerably if they don't get enough RAM.

Thank you so much for the help! Sadly I can't fit 16gb into the budget but I swapped the SSD out for a SanDisk 240gb one. Finally, thank you very much for the recommendation on the mobo!

The finally question I have though, do I really need the 450watt PSU though? the EVGA 430 I have is 80+ rated..

The problem with the PSU is the quality, not the wattage or efficiency rating. The lower-end EVGA units aren't very good in quality, in terms of stable power delivery, quality of internal components, and other technical specifications like the voltage across the +12 V rail. You need a good PSU for a good system, and the EVGA one isn't one of the good quality units.

I see, i added the corsair one you recommended to the cart, thanks for the help!

I agree. Lose the CPU cooler. Get the cheapest B350/450 board you can.

Get 16gb 3000mhz Ram. The money you save on the CPU cooler is almost enough for a 16gb 3000mhz Kit when added to what you’re already spending on ram.

Yes you do want a better PSU. 80+ doesn’t mean a lot by itself. There is a EVGA 450 BR on Newegg for $34.99 right now. I wouldn’t go any lower or cheaper than that.
