New Build - Check my specs?

[Monstermunch]

Hi All

About to build a new PC for gaming and workstation use, already have some bits:

Phanteks Enthoo Primo
Silverstone Strider 750w Platinum (old but good)
Samsung SSD 850 Evo 500gb
EVGA GTX970 (may try and get another or update later if required)

These are the new bits I have down so far:
AMD Ryzen 7 Eight Core 1700X 3.80GHz (Socket AM4) £349.99
Arctic Cooling Liquid Freezer AIO 360mm £99.95
Asrock X370 Killer SLI AMD X370 (Socket AM4) £149.99
Team Night Hawk - 2x16GB DDR4 3000MHz - White LED £239.99
WD Black 1TB 7200rpm SATA 6Gb/s 64MB Cache £74.95

Total: £914.87


Anyone see any issues or recommend any changes?

You need AM4 brackets for the cooler otherwise you wont be able to use it and the 1700x doesnt come with a stock cooler.


**For an AM4 bracket please go to the manufacturer support page and email them proof of purchase of the cooler and proof of purchase for the Ryzen CPU. We will try our best to get some brackets but you should contact the manufacturer first. **

Cheers, yes I read that which is the main reason I have not hit the buy button yet tbh.

I'm not sure I want to buy and take the chance that I have to wait an extended period to get the bracket. The manufacturers really are tossers, they should just send out a box of brackets to all their resellers!

Thats another reason to get the 1700.
