Question Review my parts list

[ItsJgun on IG]

Hey!

So basically I am building a PC this summer or in the next coming weeks!
If you could please review the list and give me any pointers or upgrades my budget for this build is around $1700 - $ 1770 (cad)
this pc will be used mostly for gaming/Photoshop

Don't bother with the Hyper 212, its redundant as the stock Ryzen cooler is just about as good.

I suggest a 2-4 TB secondary drive, 1TB fills up quite fast with modern games.

Id strongly suggest a better PSU, something like a EVGA G3, Seasonic FOCUS Gold or Corsair RMi/RMx or TX

I would personally also go for a 1440P monitor with free-sync instead of 1080P, if you are fine at 1080P you can drop down to a 1660ti or RTX 2060 or the normal RX5700. Unless you are one of those people that care more about framerate then picture.


One thing I should mention is that if you can wait for third part RX5700XT cards I would wait, there seems to be some thermal issues with the AMD reference cards due to the terrible blower design.

Before you do that you should vote on my thread. https://forums.tomshardware.com/threads/does-anyone-want-my-review-of-the-ryzen-5-3600.3500837/

And if it gets enough yes votes I will review the Ryzen 5 3600. You can obviously look at other reviews. But none will be like mine. I'm a normal person with a very limited budget. I'll just go ahead and say I think you should strongly consider the Ryzen 5 3600.

Thanks for the response!
I took your advice and dropped to a 1660ti i stuck with the 1080p monitor for the high refresh rate and low price
also added a secondary drive (2tb)

Thank you!
