I swapped out the CPU for the 3600x just to see the increase in price, but partpicker threw me a warning message....
Warning - Some AMD X470 chipset motherboards may need a BIOS update prior to using Matisse CPUs. Upgrading the BIOS may require a different CPU that is supported by older BIOS revisions.
<Me, no idea :doh:

For a little more, you could go 3rd gen Ryzen wit same board, say a R5-3600 or 3600X
You could postpone things like SSD or case ( ok, lots of work to put in new case..but worth it)
Thanks for the reply, I thought the R-7 2600x would be better then an R5 - 3600x? Or does it not work like that?
For a little less, you could go with a PSU with a 7 years warranty "All of the capacitors are 105°C rated, Japanese brand, to ensure solid power delivery and long term reliability".Thanks for the reply, I'll swap that PSU over :thumbup:
I built a new 8700K system with 1080Ti last year, 32gb ram at 3000mhz and I used to have the 2600 (K version with 980FTW card and 1600mhz ram in 4x4 dims. Honestly, you're looking at doing a total new build.But mainly, consider doing a 250gb SSD M.2 NVME for OS only and put everything else on SSDs and use a 1TB HDD for storage of photos, documents, stuff. My DCS runs great on a dedicated 500gb SSD and I have 3-4 other SSDs with STEAM Games, Bohemia Interactive games, and one 180SSD is just for STEAM Utility and other stuff like Discord, CombatFlite, CoreTemp, HeadTracker, Open Office, JSGME, and any other utilities that would normally clog up your CDrive.
Today, the only thing I'd do differently is get a 1TB drive for DCS for the swap space needed for updates. And read up on your potential MoBo, if you put a bunch of NVME M.2 SSDs, you may lose PCI or SATA slots for other drives.
http://www.pcpartpicker.com can help you place the items together and spot any potential incompatibility. Looks like you already have a good start!!
Good luck!
I already have a Samsung 500GB SSD in my old PC, so I will be using that also. I should have the room? I don't think I could stretch to a HDD as I'm at the top end of my budget
Any other thoughts?
Would this be an up to date PC to run the programs like DCS. FPS etc?
Kind Regards

There is one thing - in particular - that you should check before committing. The Team Vulcan RAM that you found there is a very good price for 2x16GB of 3000 MHz CL 16 DDR4 memory. However both builds on_PCPartPicker_using that RAM were Intel systems. So far I have only build Intel systems (although if starting afresh today I would probably choose AMD) so what I am saying is that I have no direct experience of what I am about to say, but you should be aware / check it out:
From what I have read, Zen was particularly fussy about what OEM RAM modules where used on RAM DIMMs. (I am talking about the underlying lithography... Samsung, Hynix etc, not the retail brand... Corsair, Team Group etc). Some worked. Some didn't. This brought a whole new degree of complexity to selecting fast RAM to go into your system. What you need to do is check the support _section_of_MSI's_website_to_see_if_that_RAM_module_is_on_the_qualified_vendor_SKU_list._I_suspect_not.__In_case_you_are_wondering_my_Apple_keyboard_spacebar_has_just_given_up!!!__I_will_have_to_continue_on_another_computer.__Damn_Apple_and_their_stupid_keyboard_design.
So your saying I should go with a more established brand of RAM?
What do you think of the build? Will this enable me to play games of today?
Kind Regards

I was also reviewing the motherboard, i forgot to post this earlier...
vs
Asus ROG STRIX B450-F GAMING ATX AM4 Motherboard
Now i'm no IT guru, but i ran a comparison between the two and the only thing I can see different is the B450 does not offer DDR4-3466
I'm no overclocker or anything like that, but am i paying for something i'm not going to use? as thats a saving of over £76...
Thanks!
