Opinions on First Gaming Build?

twoplus2

Hi, I was wondering what your opinions were on the part list I have at the moment, where I can cut down the costs a little bit (My ideal budget is 1500 euro), and where I should buy what part. This will be used for gaming, mainly on FPS games. Since apparently people with less than 5 posts can't include links, I'll have to manually copy and paste the part names.

CPU:
AMD Ryzen 5 1600 (Includes AMD Wraith Spire cooler) (I do not plan on overclocking majorly)

Mobo:
MSI - X370 GAMING PLUS ATX AM4

RAM:
Corsair - Vengeance LPX 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR4-3200

Storage:
Samsung - 850 EVO-Series 250GB 2.5" SSD
Seagate - Barracuda 2TB 3.5" 7200RPM HDD

Video Card:
EVGA - GeForce GTX 1070 8GB SC GAMING ACX 3.0 Black Edition

Case:
ThermalTak​e Black Co​re G21 Tem​pered GLas​s

PSU:
Corsair - RMx 550W 80+ Gold Certified Fully-Modular ATX

Wireless Networking Adapter:
Gigabyte - GC-WB867D-I PCI-Express x1 802.11a/b/g/n/ac

Monitor:
BenQ - BL2420PT 23.8" 2560x1440 @ 60Hz

Keyboard:
Cherry - G80-3850LYBGB-2 Wired

Mouse:
Logitech - G402 Wired Optical Mouse

I will be using a Multi-Use copy of Windows 7 for my OS, so I don't need to factor that in.

Thanks in advance!

Same price, but tons more performance.

• X370 is not needed unless you're a hardcore overclocker. Drop to B350.
• 8Gb RAM is plenty for gaming.
• For 25% more moolah, you get 1.9x more SSD space (speed not really important).
• GTX 1080 >> 1070. Note that the GTX 1070 Ti is rumoured for a Halloween launch.
• RMx 550 is good, SuperNova G2 650 is better.
• Wireless - is ok, but I would suggest considering a big ethernet cable, or homeplugs, instead.
• No idea on monitor. BenQ is good.
• Nice keyboard!
• I had a G402, it was ok. I now have a G403. It's the greatest mouse on the planet!
