@orbitalwalsh The mistakes are:

1. not needed CPU cooler; the box has one included;
2. too slow RAM 2666 DDR4;
3. too powerful power supply, no need for 850W to run a 65W Ryzen 5 and 180W Radeon RX 580;
4. better go with the faster M.2 970 Evo.

What? No.
Overall, that was an unoptimised configuration.

It isn't orbitals build. He was just listing what the op had specced in his opening post to make it easier to read.

It was still confusing. I thought he just offered two configurations neither of which I liked anyways. Don't know why...
