Here is the link to my build I'm planning on, I am limiting myself to Ryzen for this build.I aim to get a solid 1080p 60 fps experience, nothing more nothing less. Cause I am a color freak, red is the theme if at all possible. Rate my current build or give advice, much appreciated.

This would be my first build of my OWN computer. I have built one before, just not a gaming PC for myself.

Slightly changed Hellfire13's build. Took out the SSD as you really should save up & get a 240gb SSD to allow for the OS as well as a game or two with longer loading screens and still have enough leftover space so the SSD won't slow down (cache). Also changed the RAM as the ADATA didn't match the color and put in a B350 motherboard for overclocking which you should be able to OC a bit even with the Wraith cooler. The motherboard also has 4 slots for RAM instead of two so you'll be able to upgrade your RAM to 16gb without having to sell the old(er) kit.

The main and only reason I am trying to get a cheap and small SSD is just put windows onto it if at all possible, I can pass on it if I can get by without it was just testing the idea.

 


I have heard of quite a few people finding the EVGA 500W and 430W Bronze PSUs as being great, cheap but still reliable PSUs on a budget, had the game changed without me noticing 😱
