What cooler are you getting ? If getting aio and front mounting in the meshify c, you may want to check the clearance allowed for gpu in terms of length.

Ram choice is a little strange, why 4x8?

Think should be using stock cooler,.

GPU must take note ah? Okie!



Last time buy one, lol :/

Ah. If stock cooler it should be fine. I had my aio mounted in front previously and had abit of issues fitting in the gpu due to clearance required. But if just fans mounting in front, should be fine.

Before anyone continue to post identical Aftershock specs, take note of the following for AMD chipset:

A520 = non-overclockable. This is the current generation entry level AMD chipset. You will miss out a big deal on AMD's main advantage, that is all consumer CPUs are unlocked by default.

B450 = the budget overclockable chipset. In it's 3rd year now. Tech is starting to show its age and updates are slower too

X470 = the premium version of the above.

B550 = the most current perfomance chipset. Has all the current tech like WiFi 6, Thunderbolt 3, multiple M.2 slots, PCIe 4.0 etc* (check the specific board's features to be sure). AMD and board makers are focused on these the most right now.

X570 = the premium version of the above, although some top end B550 boards can rival this in terms of features and performance. This chipset is actually released earlier than the B550.

So if you're getting a Ryzen CPU, please do yourself a favor and get the B450 at least. You'll thank yourself for it down the road. Unless you're getting a 4000 series Ryzen PRO APU, which is locked, then go right ahead with the A520.

I would recommend upgrading the PSU to a leadex iii since the base FSP PSU that they use isn't of high quality and definitely wouldn't pair it with a high power graphics card like a rtx 3070.
Unless you are quoting RTS builds then...
