I'm finally upgrading my computer and I'm looking forward to putting my new parts in. Before upgrading, I had a FX-8350 and it was not as fast as I would want it to be. I currently have a 1060 and I will upgrade that down the road as well, (If you have any suggestions let me know!) but I just want to hear feedback on how my build is currently looking. Ill provide a link to my build, thank you so much and have a great day!

The most important problem is that the mobo chipset B350 needs a Bios update to support a Ryzen 7 2700X, so it should have in advance a first generation Ryzen cpu for doing it. The alternatives are either a mobo with X470 chipset or, one with B450 chipset (cheaper).

As long as you use the GTX 1060, the Ryzen 7 2700x is very much superior and you will not need any overclock to support it. I would not advise the use of liquid refrigeration until it is necessary. Think that the problem of liquid refrigeration is not whether they will fail but when they will fail.

I do not see the sense of the 120 GB SSD, if you are going to buy one of 1TB. SSDs are more efficient when they are larger. In addition, the Sandisk is not the best. Regarding...

Regarding the 1 TB SSD, check the price of the Samsung 960 EVO and the Crucial MX500 and choose the cheapest one. Both are almost equal in performance.

If the reason for a second SSD is to support the operating system, I recommend that you install an NVMe (eg a 970 EVO) of a minimum of 256GB.
