So, my friend asked me if i could help him choose PC (for gaming and maybe a video editing cause he skate a lot) for a good price. I wonder if i choose right.
(also sorry for my dumb grammar and spelling, im not speaking native english so i hope anyone can understand)
Here are the specs :
CPU : AMD RYZEN 3400G
MB : GIGABYTE B450 GAMING X
GPU : GIGABYTE GeForce GTX 1660 OC 6G
RAM : HyperX 16 GB KIT DDR4 2666 MHz CL16 Fury
SSD : ADATA Ultimate SU630 SSD 480 GB
HDD : Seagate BarraCuda 2 TB
PSU :EVGA SuperNOVA 550 G3
Case : SilentiumPC Regnum RG4T
 
Solution
  1. You should get the ryzen7 2700 ( 8 cores), or the 2600 or 2600X, because the 3400G is 4 cores, the 2600 has 6 cores, also you will buy the gtx 1660 so that you don't need the amd igpu.
  2. May consider the higher speed RAM like 3200mhz. Or even 32GB RAM, if your friend will use the PC do a lot video editing. And for games 16GB is more than enough.
  3. Better brand SSD, like crucial , samsung, etc.
