My new rig, replacing an eight year old 2500K box.

Your staring lineup:

  • Corsair Carbide 270R case
  • AMD Ryzen 5 2600 CPU
  • MSI B450 Tomahawk Motherboard
  • 16GB Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4-3200 RAM
  • XFX Radeon RX 580 GTS XXX Edition GPU
  • 1TB WD Blue 3D NAND SATA SSD M.2
  • 2TB WD Blue 5400RPM HDD
  • TP-Link Archer T6E WiFi card
  • 2 Corsair ML120 Pro LED fans
  • EVGA 650 B3 PSU

The original parts list was from Linus' 2018 Holiday Buyer's Guide. I went with the MSI board thanks to bad press about the Gigabyte VRMs. Between the time he posted his video and my having funds for the GPU, the 1070ti he suggested had gone back over $400. No thank you. This RX 580 was only $189 from Amazon.

From here on out, I may swap out that stock rear case fan and add a USB 2 bracket, and yank that eSATA bracket. But essentially, this build is now complete.
