My last build ended up a lot better due to the advice from this forum (Shoutout to ATMINSIDE and Blaylock)
(This started with me wanted a new SSD and realizing my old build could not support fast M.2 SSDs)
Questions:
Any suggestions / comments whatsoever are very welcome.
- CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 2700X
- MOTHERBOARD: ASUS Prime X470-Pro AMD Ryzen 2
- GPU:GIGABYTE R9 290 4GB Windforce 3X OC (Keeping until Vega 64 goes down in price or new GPU comes out)
- CASE: Fractal Design FD-CA-FOCUS-GY-W Focus G ATX Mid
- PSU:EVGA SuperNOVA NEX650G 80PLUS Gold Certified (Old version From old build)
- HDD: Samsung 960 EVO Series - 1TB PCIe NVMe - M.2 Internal SSD (MZ-V6E1T0BW) (and Seagate Barracuda 3 TB HDD from old build)
- RAM: G.SKILL TridentZ Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) 288-Pin DDR4 3200 (PC4 25600)
- Monitor: Samsung LC27HG70QQNXZA C27HG70

Questions:
- Is it dumb to spend all this money and use a R9 290? Should I bite the bullet and get a Vega 64 at current prices?
- Is 16gb a ram plenty? (Maybe I should get 4* 4gb?)
- I'm 99% sure everything is compatible but am I missing anything important?
Any suggestions / comments whatsoever are very welcome.
