Question from alfiee : "what to change about my build / is it a good build"

Looks very good to me, my only comment is the PSU is quite low powered and doesn't leave any room for future graphics upgrades. I assume you checked on a PSU calculator that it's enough for this build? my feeling is that it probably is but with no margin for growth. A good brand choice though.

It's likely not a problem at this stage, but worth considering for the longer term.

only problem I see is the GPU. Always get a card with 2 fans. a dual fan card can survive and even continue with the failure of a single fan. it adds 3 dollars and I say its well worth it

the PCPP list shows a single fan EVGA unit, hence my remark, sorry for confusion the link to the actual card shows a dual fan unit. I went with the PCPP list

damn thx! im gonna change to this but use g.skill ram since for 4 euros more i can get 3200mhz instead of 3000
 

You could spend a little more and get something like the MSI Tomahawk. It's ATX and has good power delivery.

I just noticed the GPU on the list I was using was 70 euro more than the KFA2 (link still shows the EVGA single fan for 300 euro's) so my system is a bit more expensive when corrections are made for that fact.

I use 3000 as a base for all ryzen systems I hadn't looked at faster RAM prices. 4 Euros get it man get it.

your original build with the KFA2 card
