Was looking for some advice on a new build to run wow / cod at high setting with 60+fps.

In going for ryzen 5 1600(12nn)
With asus prime b450m - a matx am4 motherboard.
Probably 16gb (2x8gb) crucial ballistix
Video card - shopping about for this. Looking at either a refurbished rx/580 or 590 or if i can find a 1650 super cheap.
Psu - corsair cx 450w

Really just looking for advice on the ssd storage and graphics card. Also if you have any recommended changes id love to hear them.. Thanks!

I've been trying to price everything up for my brother's first budget gaming PC and everything you have listed is pretty much what I have in a basket currently.

I would say an Adata SSD as the primary drive would go well with it and possibly similar as a drive for games and data?

Id looked at adata but lot of reports about corrupting after reboots

What about an Crucial MX500 SSD. They were popping up on deals websites fairly often.

Hmm not too sure, I know you can get a RX580 for around £145 new but not sure if that's a good deal or not.
