First Build - full AMD with tweaks. How is it looking?
Over the last few days I've been looking in detail into refining my first build.
The end result is below, I've found what seems to be a good price for an rx580 and have gone for that over the 1050ti or 1060 3gb. The reason for this is that my monitor has freesync.
Ryzen 1600 cpu as this will be a good option for work and day to day multi tasking whilst providing good performance for weekend gaming.
Storage will be supplimated by a 500gb 2.5" drive and I will add a further 500gb/1tb down the line once that fills.
To keep costs down to allow for the pricier gpu I've reduced the ram to 8gb, the motherboard has 4 ram slots so the plan is if needed I can add 2 further 4gb cards down line.
How is this looking? Would anyone change anything?
I'm very green to this so open to suggestions!
TIA
