Recommend A Ryzen 5 Build

[heavenrave]

Hey Guys

Really appreciate singupingu effort the other time round for recommending me a rig last year at december but I hold back to buy the rig due to some personal money matters.

Now I'm looking for a Ryzen Build

You think a 1.6K Budget able to squeeze in a gtx 1070 build without any peripherals.

Solely 1.6K Budget on PC.

CPU: Ryzen R5 1600 + Gigabyte Gaming 3 B350 - $468 Tradepac
GPU: Zotac MINI GTX 1070 - $500 (Qoo10 After $100 discount)
Casing: NZXT S340 Elite - $ 167 (Carousell)
PSU: Superflower Leadex - $ 155 (Carousell)
HDD: Reusing my WD 1TB
SSD: Reusing my intel 330 series 120GB + I'm looking for new one, which should I buy?
RAM: Corsair Vengence LPX 3000MHZ DDR4 2x8GB - $200 (Carousell)
Windows 10 - $20 (Carousell)

Total: $1510 excluding SSD and HDD

Is these ok ?
My current specs are all on the right.

I'm looking at multi tasking. Occasional gaming Dual Monitors, current Monitor is U2417H with my spare monitor a philips 23" 237EQPH for multi tasking office work like excel etc. Looking at 1080p, while vega is round the corner, I will upgrade in future when more money comes

Games I've played: BF1, Overwatch, Battlegrounds, CSGO,

This Rig is for Gaming/Office work 1080p resolution dual monitor.
No aesthetic required.

Nicely built. I find its okay. Ssd can get anything. If budget allow, samsung evo 850. If budget is tight, budget ssd like WD Blue, Kingston UV400, Ocz tl100/TR150 or pny cs1311 also okay.

Must get PCI-E / NVMe M.2, which is significantly more expensive than SATA ones. If SATA M.2, no difference.

For buying at tradepac if you buy only the mobo and cpu bundle it will not be the same price seen in the price list, will be slightly higher unless you able nego with them or build your whole rig there.

M.2 sata ssd typically $10-20 more than normal ones. The only reason to get those is to save the hassle of cable management.

Nvme or PCIE ssd is significantly expensively and faster. Only buy these if you have a lot of read and write productivity works where you will constantly rendering really huge files.

1600 come with stock fan that is pretty good. Stock fan come with thermal paste pre-applied. Go YouTube watch those Ryzen build video as reference.

M.2 SSD usage should be reserved for NVMe SSD usage ideally.

M.2. SATA SSDs are not always compatible to a motherboard's M.2 slot since it can be electrically implemented as a:
-SATA M.2 pinout
-PCIe M.2 pinout
-Both present

You will also limit the ease of reusing it in a future PC and there's no guarantee M.2 will exist in the future or it will turn out to be like mPCIe/mSATA that didn't last too long when they became SSD compatible, especially if the relevant consortium (pci sig or sata io etc) decides to change interface due to various reasons.

Just curious
If i Use the current online price list as reference, r5 + mobo = 600, how much more do i have to pay?

Not sure about it, For this have to let the boss or staff to quote, after that will depend on your bargaining skill.
