Help me build my Ryzen 2600 computer

[NSFnewbie]

Please feel free to put any comment on my proposed build:, budget of $1.2k.
Mobo/CPU: Asrock B450 Pro4/Ryzen 2600 -$396
CPU Cooler: CoolerMaster MasterLiquid ML240R -$134
Memory: DDR4 3200 C16 KLEVV Bolt X (Hynix Korea) 16Gb-$195
GPU: GALAX GTX1060 OC 6GB (Black)-$389
The prices quoted are based from Tradepac's pricelist, so most probably will buy from them.

I will use back my SSD (Samsung 860 EVO 500GB) , PSU (Seasonic M12ii 650w) and Casing (Coolermaster CM690 II) to minimize the spending.

Will overclock the CPU to 4.2Ghz. And will use it for some gaming and 3D Rendering and Animation.

No problem for everything, except the 4.2ghz oc, which is dependent on your silicon lottery

1 question, the ram is 1 stick of 16gb or you buying x2 8gb?

130$ cooler on a ryzen 5? hyper 212 good enough

Good luck with the OC

Go for the 2600X and get a good Air Cooler instead. For the 2600 non x, unless you tio silicon lottery, if not even 4.1 Ghz under 1.4V will be hard to achieve if you are unlucky. At least for 2600x you are guarantee to get up to 4.2Ghz single core, 3.9ghz all cores, maybe even higher with PBO enabled, provided you have enough cooling for XFX & PBO to do it's job. I've a friend with the 2600 who cannot reach 4.1Ghz OC all cores without pushing his core voltage up to 1.425v & abv, but then again it's all about luck.

Thanks, will consider this.

I am consider buying 1 stick of 16Gb, so I can expand memory to 32Gb in the future without using too much memory slot.

ryzen needs dual channel. your board has 4 ram slots. just get 2x 8gb.

ahh, ok thanks for the info.

Is buying a brand new 1060 still a smart choice?

I mean the 2060 should be coming soon.

But the prices of the new RTX have been jacked up so much.

Can you direct me where to find this information? I really cannot find info on this.

All I found in youtube is showing ryzen is able to run on single dimm and for gaming purpose, the difference between single and dual is no much.

can ignore the 2133 set of results - DC does give a performance uplift (but only in the 0.1% frametime)

*assuming you're playing at not-1280x720 resolution

Thanks for the links. But what Hailgold said is that ryzen can only run on DC.

[Hailgod]

dual channel has significant improvement for ryzen systems. no reason to waste that power by limiting yourself on a single channel
