Budget of ~1000 CAD
Primary use is Games such as:
- League
- Escape from Tarkov
- Arma
- Ghost Recon Wildlands


Looking for opinions on this build or suggested substitutions.

Only other thing not included is the case (and maybe a 1 TB SSD if i can find a reasonably priced one)

over paying for psu
intel 660 m.2 1020gb ssd
gets evo 212 over that cooler
mobo can be downgraded as well to like ASRock B450M Steel Legend
also cheaper 590's <- though these also frequently go on sale so I'd wait and grab it on sale also.
2700 over 2600, you can manage it in budget.

Friend was also suggesting moving up to a 2700
Swapped the evo 212 and 2700 in

What would you suggest for psu?

I would look for better RAM. Like Gskill or Corsair

I've been using 3200 MHZ T-Force for 6 months in my girlfriends build with zero stability issues. with the same ryzen 2600.

They use Hynix memory modules with you will find in companies like gskill or corsair.

1. MSI B450 A-Pro MAX or MSI B450 Gaming Plus.
2. Your RAM is fine.
3. Seasonic Focus Gold 550W.
4. Crucial MX500 1TB SSD.

ALL memory companies use IC chips from about 5-6 different manufacturers. It's the rest of the RAM stick that makes a difference too. It's also the company itself.
There are vastly different PCBs, heatsinks, thermal pads, etc, plus the company's ease of contact, response to that contact, etc.

You claim you've been using T-Force for 6 months. That's good. My Corsair RAM has been working 6 years 24/7 ops. IF I ever have any issues, Corsair is KNOWN for their easy RMA, and their no questions asked.
Yeah, you pay a tiny bit more for these assurances... but when your computer is down... those niceties suddenly become a good thing.

Side note: As for RAM IC chips... Micron is the "good stuff".

Honestly I did switch to Corsair Vengeance for now just because of all of the good reviews I’ve been seeing and their reputation




Will check this out, thanks.

for ryzen 1000 or 2000 series
I'd care less about brand

I'd care more about mobo compatibility and the chips it uses
along with frequency and timings by far
