Wait Ryzen benchmark first. Then see if you wanna go with it.

Why 650w psu? Get Superflower instead. Plus 550W is enough already even if you plan to upgrade gpu to say, a gtx 1070.

Why corsair 350d casing as well? Pretty expensive. If you don't need 5.25" drive bay, got more choices. A cheaper alternative is Tecware Edge. Also micro case, also have the 5 25" Bay.
