Hi guys/gals just wondering if you could have a look through this build and see if everything is compatible in the case etc as i have ordered from here before got it all delivered and the GPU wouldnt fit in the case. Not sure what PSU to go for also. Went for an i5 as its only going to be used for gaming (not sure if to go for a ryzen) which would also mean a change of motherboard. You can see the budget i have set myself below if anyone thinks they can make the build better sticking to a black and red theme then by all means please post below, i already have SSD, HDD and windows and K+M.

Thank you for that out of the 2 systems which would be the better one and why also what about overclocking potential

As above - with regards to PSU and if you were consodering SLI (but personally, a single card solution is pre)

The Ryzen 1600 is comparable to the i5-7600k - but the AM4 socket will have longevity and the format is being optimised everyday.

ANd clocking isn't a problem, every Ryzen CPU is unocked, and with either cooler (selected above), you would expect to get 1600x performance or very close to it.

Thank you for that. Single GPU is the way i want to go as i have heard some games have problems with SLI so im not convinced.

Not a problem.

You will have supporters who swear by it and past users like myself who would never go back (doesn't mean i'm right.) :)

I like the simplicity of the single card option and you also don't have to second guess you MB or your PSU with the single card option.

For example - that 550w that stulid selected will last you for future card updates. If you were considering SLI, you would need to spend more on the MB and get a more powerful PSU - for a card you may never get.

Yes makes sense if and when do i upgrade it would only be the GPU to a 1080 or Vega but that can wait thanks for the build help
