FaZe_Statiqqz wrote I recently asked for advice when choosing the parts for my first desktop that I would build, I changed some of the parts around due to finding extra funds to add to my budget, this is the final piece (components) that I have decided to go with. I would like to get some thoughts and opinions from people who are more experienced than me. I use a 32inch 1080p monitor, and I read that a RX 5700 is a bit overkill for that, its more for 1440p gaming, however I plan to upgrade my monitor in the future so I see it as planning for future upgrading while getting extra frames at the moment at 1080p. I am wanting to play games such as Arma 3 and CSGO, so games that vary from very demanding to less so. Again thank you in advance to anyone who shares their opinions, I hope this PC will turn out as good as all the parts say.

Link to pcpartpicker with list of parts I chose:

The Motherboard you chose is Ryzen 3000 ready so that pairing will actually do you quite nicely, I'm running a 2600x on an x470-f gaming from Asus with a 5700xt, so I can vouch that the 5700xt is a good card, I enjoy it very much along with the flexibility AMD Adrenaline gives you for settings, plus with a regular 5700 there are tutorials to flash the BIOS with an xt variant, because that's really the main difference, a BIOS version lol, so if I knew that would have happened, I myself would have gone for a 5700 and just flashed the BIOS to xt, but that is one of those "Do at your own risk" type things.

Make sure your graphics card however isn't a blower style, they're more likely to thermal throttle when compared to multi-fan cooling, my card I got from Newegg and it's the Gigabyte 5700xt with 3 fans on it, it's a good GPU, only issue I get with it is when playing Rust, but honestly that's the games fault, not the card, cuz the game isn't optimized like, at all lol.

All I can really say is make sure the motherboard will it in that case, I only buy from Amazon and Newegg and I can't find that case on either, so I can't check specs, but if it fits a Micro-ATX board, then you should be good to go, also, your PSU, I went for a 750, and a 550 has a chance of holding you back from future upgrades if you plan to do any, I'd recommend a 650 to meet in the middle if possible, just to be safe, but that's my own personal preference. Corsair Vengeance LPX memory also comes in black also which would fit your board better cuz on PCPartPicker it shows a white kit, so you do have options with that also, but it is 3200MHz which isn't bad, AMD CPU's are somewhat accelerated by fast RAM, and that's also overclockable, you could probably OC your RAM up to 3400 stable pretty easily.

I know it's a lot to read, but I type like crazy.

Last thing is that AMD probably makes the absolute best OEM heatsinks that come with a CPU manufacturer, but it's worth thinking about upgrading in the future, I use a Coolermaster 212 black edition with Noctua fans, it gets the job done, speaking of which, case fans, I don't see any on the list, and if you're still picking those out, may I recommend Corsair ML120's? They're magnetic levitation, and they have to get up to about 1400RPM before you even hear them, they can push up to 2600RPM though but that's a bit unnecessary, the default fan options in most BIOSes paired with those fans make for a pretty good case environment.
