Hi Guys,

Games that I play:

1. CSGO
2. Mass Effect: Andromeda (Coming soon)
3. The Witcher

My standard resolution is Full HD 1920 x 1080p

I am planning to upgrade my 8 year old CPU (AMD x3 720BE) to the new Ryzen. What do you think of the below specs:

AMD Ryzen R5 1600X
RX 470 or RX 570 (Launching in April 2017)
Gigabyte or Asus B350 Mainboard
Samsung 850 Evo 120GB SSD
KG240A 144MHz monitor
Cosair VS 650W
8GB Cosair D4 Vengence 2666 C16 LPX 2X

Other PC items that are not relevant:
Armageddon Case

Thanks for the assist, appreciate it.

Hi Bro,

thanks for the reply, good point! guess I will need the higher capacity SSD.

A question though, since the B350 board does support on-PCIE m2 SSD, would it be better to buy a m2 SSD or a normal Sata SSD?

I see, noted on that, thanks man!! really appreciate it!

Hi Guys,

Planning the below spec for my early next year purchase to avoid giving more money to gomen... appreciate any feedback & upgrade/downgrade suggestion on it.

AMD Ryzen 1600 with Wraith Cooler
Gigabyte GA AB350 GAMING 3
MSI RX 570 4GB
G.Skill D4 2400 8GB
Samsung 850 Evo 250GB
Acer KG240A 24" 144hz Freesync
Armageddon T11 ELVATRON
Fuhlen Keyboard

Things I already have:

- Armaggeddon Fuze 7.1 Headphone with Mic
- Altec Lansing 5.1 HTPC Speakers & Sub
- Logitech G502 Proteus Core
- 2 x 1 TB SATA HDD
- 1 x 2 TB SATA HDD
- DVD-Rom
- 1200VA KOSS UPS
- KOSS AVR

Recommendation required:

Cosair VS 650W <-- is this good enough or should I go for lower wattage? this one a bit expensive... RM 309

Trying to meet the Value vs Money balance.

Here is some info about me.

- I love and play old games like CSGO, The Room 1 & 2, Car games.
- Planning to do some video editing later as I already purchased my 4k action cam.
- Most of the time PC is on for Torrent Sharing (yes, I am the Share Guy)

Thanks guys.

Honestly I am quite set with Ryzen 1600 and have no plans to move on to Threadripper (definitely way beyond my budget even if the price dropped) and definitely not Intel, never been an intel fanboy after their 166Mhz MMX CPU.

err... something new for me... sorry I am old school abit when it come to this crypto-currency thing... all I know is that they do some kind of math calculation and get paid in bitcoin rite? but how does it effect the GPU market?

appreciate your help, thanks.
