PSU is overkill, the 550W version would easily be enough. Not an issue though, this way you can possibly use it for a future dual GPU system and it will run completly passive even under full load. Everything else looks fine.
Personally i always try to buy a high(er) end GPU at the begin of a generation so i get to be on top longer, but i have no idea when turing will hit the market. Maybe Q3?
Quick question here Jow Forumsents. I'm upgrading my rig by steps. First will be the GPU. I'm currently gaming with a 750ti on an HD screen. I want 1080p @60Hz so I have two options basically at the same prize. Gygabyte 1050ti g1 4gb, new Xfx Rx 570 4gb, 2 months used for gaming/mining. Will get a ryzen 5 1600 in a couple of months if that matters. Thanks in advance.

The G.Skill Sniper RAM was just released for Ryzen 2, so I'm assuming it has good performance. I keep hearing about Samsung BDie being the best, but I honestly have no idea which would work well with Ryzen 2. Would really like any criticism or suggestions. Hoping it will last me at least 5+ years.

I'm in the same boat but I guess I'll have to wait till someone actually tests it out proper.

the 570 is the better card, uses more power but it's used. Your decision.
Ryzen 2 doesn't seem to be remotely as picky with memory as the first gen was and the new boards also seem to help with higher frequencies but i don't know what works best. Samsung B-Die is probably still the best bet, but everything else shouldn't give you a problem anymore either.

only thing that's wrong is SATA SSD. What's wrong with you?

Alright i wana buy a new PC. I was thinking abouht i5 8400 but now ryzen 5 2600 or 2600x seems very good. My question is how can i buy the ryzen and B350 motherboard if i cant update the bios myself?
