Building a new pc
GymPolice:
Hey folks,
been holding back my money for a while and now with corona and shit I wanna build a new pc to carry the legacy of my old one. These are the parts that I am looking to buy right now:
8GB Gigabyte RX 590 Gaming H/3xDP (197.50?)
AMD Ryzen 7 2700X 8x 3.70GHz (174.85?)
16GB G.Skill Aegis DDR4-3200 DIMM CL 16 Dual Kit (72.85?)
MSI B450-A Pro MAX AMD B450 So.AM4 Dual Channel DDR4 ATX (88.90?)
600 Watt be quiet! Pure Power 11 Non-Modular 80+ Gold (75.54?)
500GB Samsung 860 Evo 2.5" SSD (6GB/s) (78.50?)
1000GB Seagate BarraCuda HD (36.31?)
Total cost: 759.06?
Question: good picks? Anything crucial missing? New to building my own PC, so all help is appreciated. I know there's plenty tech savvy people here. :)

yeah, good call. I wanna edit videos and stuff so that's gonna be an improvement for sure. If that's the only thing to do then I'm happy, tho!

If you don't do video-editing and like to have 100 tabs open in chrome you would probably be ok with 8GB memory.
Also about memory: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D_Yt4vSZKVk
Motherboards are kinda booring, you don't need to pay much more than what gives you the connections you need and is made for the processor and other components you choose.
If you're paying for a motherboard that supports M.2 disk I would consider buying an M.2 (faster pre-loading in some games, faster boot times)
I'm fine with a 250GB M.2 disk, but I will go for 500GB next time just to future proofing and be able to have more installed steam games or programs at any given time.
If you're on a budget I guess SSD is good enough, but maybe you could buy a cheaper motherboard then.?
Any money you save can be used for a good graphics card and a high refresh monitor. If it was me on a budget I would buy a Nvidia card like Gtx 1060 and a 1080p or even 1440p monitor with 144hz refresh rate or more.
