Just playing around on Ibuypower last night. Spent a couple hours looking up things and picking what sounds good, but I'm no expert. What do you guys think of this? The 1000watt psu was a free upgrade.

Processor: AMD Ryzen 5 1600 (6x.3.2GHz/19MB LC Cache)
Cooling: DEEPCOOL Captain 120EX Gamer Storm 120mm Liquid
Memory: 8GB (4GBx2) DDR4-2400 Corsair Vengeance LPX
Video: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti - 4GB GDDR5
Mobo: ASRock Fatal1ty AB350 Gaming K4
PSU: 1000W Standard PSU
 
- 1000W standard PSU -- this is some junkyard unit with way more wattage than you need but way less quality than you should buy. This system won't use more than 300W if ever.

- Ryzen likes RAM that's at least rated for 2666MHz since it determines the clock speed of basically the wohl north-bridge.

- Not a fan of 120mm liquid coolers. Either go big (240/280) or stick with air cooling. 120mm liquid coolers are a waste of money imo.
