Based on budget for your needs I'd take the 1600 & RX 460.

If you can afford the 1600 & gtx 1050ti however go right ahead.

If you're budget limited & its one or the other the CPU for me would take precedent.

With a ryzen 1600 you have a CPU that I honestly can't see needing upgrading for at least 5 years & maybe longer.
For under £200 its an absolute monster of a chip

The build looks great, but the case is maybe a bit overkill when you don't want a custom cpu fan. I would recommend you going with something like an Amd Rx 470/570 or a Gtx 1060 6gb. I am pretty sure that you would have the best experience with the 1060 6gb, 4gb is going to limit you when editing videos and rendering.
The rest of the build looks great.
Hope this answers your question.

Also mad matt, is there anything youd change on the system?

A while back you put together a build for me does this out perform that?

I know its 200 pound more but does this warrant the 200 more for what im using it for?

I really recommend an nvidia card as cuda acceleration is more widely adpoted than amd's stream processor acceleration.

If gaming isn't really a priority mate I'd probably do something like this.

With your purpose you'd still easily get away with a RYZEN 5 1400 + A320 + 8/16GB RAM + RX 460 graphics, if you want to save money.

The 300R is a very fat case imo. These days you can find cases so much lighter and smaller which use space more efficiently.

the 1600 is the sweet spot yes, the extra cores come in handy with video editing

So thats perfect for what i need if i add a SSD? Will the RX460 bottleneck the CPU?

a gtx 1050 is going to be better because of cuda


but the cpu does most of the work, so a 460 should be fine if you really want to keep costs down

Build looks pretty good, but i would go for 16 gb ram instead

^ all a matter if cost at the end of the day.
Remember he's not really gaming.

Total budget is going to dictate the build at the end of the day.

1600+RX 460 costs about the same as a 1500x+ gtx 1050ti.

For a build that's not primarily gaming based I'd take the 1600+460 out of the 2 options.

The 1600 is a CPU that's going to last literally forever imo, with that much reserve power behind it.

Not a huge fan of the looks of the 300r personally but at £45 (when its normally £70 odd) can't fault it value wise , its got close to £20 worth of fans preinstalled for starters.

Thanks for all your help matt and everyone else,

So in your last post are you saying 1600 + RX 460 is the one to go with or the 1500X and 1050TI?
