Just bought the ASUS Cerberus 1070ti from PC Themes

Looking to build a new rig for most gaming.
Decided on getting the NZXT H500 case, was wondering what recommendation do you guys suggest for the rest of the components.

Mobo and cpu:
Ram:
Ssd:
Hdd: 1TB (Probably recycling old HDD)
PSU:
Case: NZXT H500 @ $ 119
GPU: ASUS Cerberus 1070ti @ $600

Total about 1400-1600

Should i consider getting AIO instead of fans?

CPU + Motherboard
- Ryzen 2600x + MSI B450 Gaming Pro Carbon AC (onboard wifi, no more headache, overall best 450 board)
- Ryzen 2600x + Gigabyte B450 Aorus Pro Wifi (the same as above but cheaper, VRM not as good as MSI)

RAM - Ryzen performs better with faster RAM
go for at least 3000Mhz 16 GB , 8GB x 2
- Kingston Hyper X Fury Black - Most affordable
- G.Skill TridentZ RGB - Best RGB
- G.Skill Ripjaws V - Best Midrange
Corsair, G Skill, Klevv, Kingston, etc , all are good

SSD - How many GB is your choice but for brands
- Klevv Neo is a budget choice
- Samsung Evo 860 is an overall good choice
- Samsung Evo 960 will be a great one if you don’t mind the budget
- Others (WD, ADATA, SanDisk, Crucial) - If you find an offer, take it , nothing goes wrong

HDD -
Toshiba - budget choice
Seagate Barracuda (New Version) - good choice
HGST - expensive and great? If someone mentions these, here it is

SSD and HDD , these can be your own taste. Above are just suggestions.

Power Suply (PSU) - go for gold certified 650W (many good brands here, Seasonic, Super Flower, Silverstone, Corsair) they are great. If you have any plan to upgrade GPU to RTX later, 750 W will be a good choice

Bad PSU will make you lose a lot really a lot performance and money - so buying a good psu is as vital as CPU + MB pair
Will save your wallet

CPU cooler - Stock Cooler will be good to go with 2600x if you are not OC, nor willing to run CPU intensive programmes
Nah, want another cooler - Cooler Master Hyper 212 LED Bling Bling S$30+ budget friendly and Lighting
No!!! Want OC - Liquid Cooling - depends on the casing and motherboard - consult with the shop
Corsair H100i Pro is probably the best choice although it gets loud

These will be in your budget range , i suppose
