Ryzen 5 Build Advice

[Gabriel Tidswell]

Looking to put together my first rig with specs as follows. New to PC building so would be great to know if there are any compatibility issues with the setup, particularly with case choices. Working on a budget but any recommendations would also be greatly appreciated

Motherboard: Gigabyte B450M DS3H V2 Micro ATX AM4 Motherboard
CPU: Ryzen 5 3600
GPU: Asus GTX 970 strix (already owned so will use initially but plan to upgrade in the future)
RAM: Crucial Ballistix 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR4-3200 C
PSU: EVGA 600 Watt 80+ Wired ATX PSU
SSD: Samsung EVO 860
Cooling: AMD Wraith Stealth Cooler (comes with CPU, not sure how good it is?)
Fans: 3x Antec 120mm RGB Case fan
Case: Either Cougar MG130-G or Cooler Master MasterBox Q300L

Budget is £500 excluding GPU. Currently have this priced at £460 with no GPU as already own a 970.

Have a look at the 11400F which easy out performs the 3600 in games while coming in for only £150

Will certainly give it a look. Only problem is the supported motherboards get more expensive.
