Hi, I am in the process of choosing parts for a new Ryzen build
here is what im looking at:
R5 1600 cpu
GTX 1070 - not sure which model as of yet
MSI AMD B350 GAMING PRO CARBON AM4 ATX Motherboard
16gb- ??? - DDR4 RAM
I would like to keep my current PSU if possible , the Corsair CX600
I understand that this is not a strong PSU however I've had no problems with it running my current setup : FX6300/270X for the last 3 years and after checking some PSU calculators it seems the new build will actually use less power from both the GPU and CPU.. any thoughts on this? if the PSU does struggle could it damage other hardware?
also... PLEASE HELP with RAM compatibility for this motherboard if you can, I'd like to use the fastest RAM i can get away with but it's really important to me that the system boots and is usable out of the box.
I mostly game at 1080p 60hz so the 1070 may seem overkill but it costs just £70 more than the alternative RX580 and I'd like to hit 60hz in ultra upscaled to 1440p with a bit more future proofing, would I be better off going for a RX580/GTX1060 and buying a new Gold rated PSU? I am hiting the limit of my budget so it is either/or at this stage. any other thoughts/recommendations would be appreciated, -thanks for reading
