I am building my own PC with various parts I have and can come up with the following system - please note I am not a hardcore gamer at all and occassionally play slightly older titles now and again. The system is as follows and is from parts I have available:-
CPU: Ryzen 5 1600 (stock cooler)
Mobo: MSI B450 Tomahawk.
RAM: 16gb 2666MHz DDR4
OS Drive: 500gb Sabrent nvme drive
Storage: 6tb Seagate & 3tb seagate
Graphics: GTX 1060 STRIX OC
It is essentially the system I have been using for a few years other than the current MB and Processor are Gigabyte Z170 and i5-6600k. However, my Mobo is starting to get occasional faults so looking to replace before it dies on me and already have the Ryzen and MSI motherboard ready to use. My understanding is that my RAM is possibly a little slow to get the most out of the Ryzen 5, but my PC is used mainly for work which is a few undemanding applications and internet based work. As mentioned earlier, I only occassionaly play a small number of older games.
What are your thoughts on the system, will it still be a good PC and how would it perform compared to the Z170 / i5-6600k?
Thank you.
