First gaming pc build help

[Michael_Costello]

Ok so I’m gonna be building my first gaming pc pretty soon and with the budget I have and reviews I read I wanna know what you guys think of these components like would they work together, are some parts overkill, maybe underpowered, and how would they perform playing popular AAA games (BF1, battlefront, mass effect, farcry 3) at 1080p targeting around 60fps. Also I might wanna slightly overclock CPU and GPU in future so I left that option open. Once again if there’s a obvious problem with this build it’s because I’m a complete noob and we all gotta start somewhere so go easy on me. (Also plan to throw in a wifi card)

Case: NZXT S340 mid tower
MOBO : Asus prime B350-plus
CPU: AMD Ryzen 1600x
CPU cooler: cooler master hyper 212 led
GPU: GTX 1060 6gb gddr5
RAM: Corsair vengeance 16g (2x8) ddr4 2666MHz
Storage: WD Blue 2tb HDD
Power supply: EVGA 600 B1, 80+ bronze 600w

Hello Michael Costello,

Good list of parts but if I may make a suggestion regarding the storage device.

Windows is always best (and safest) on its own storage device and data stored on a separate device, if your budget will allow it go for an SSD for Windows and a 1TB HDD for data, this will also give you far quicker boot times.

WD Blue WDS250G1B0A 250GB Internal SSD

Western Digital WD1003FZEX WD Black 1TB

Hi Michael. I agree with Phill’s choice regarding the storage suggestion that he gave. You don’t necessarily have to get an SSD as they can be expensive, however you definitely should replace the WD blue 2 TB drive with the 1 TB WD black drive that Phill linked to as that model of black drive is very reliable and is one of the fastest hard drives you can have.
