Look at the first post in this thread, and give people the additional information they need to make recommendations.
Thank you for a response.
I do not plan on overclocking
I don't have existing parts
and I plan to build around mid-November
Monitor I will use is 1440p 60hz 27in
I will be purchasing all of my parts in the USA

I believe this plus what I posted before answers those questions from the forum. Let me know if I missed anything.
Thanks again.
oh, yea and I will be installing windows myself with a bootable USB.

I will have to double check, but I think you can build a system with a Ryzen 2600 and GTX 1060(6GB) but... I think you be limited to 8GB of memory and a HDD instead of SSD.

Yes please let me know if you have a PCpartpicker link.
I can always add more ram later and buy an SSD later too. Thanks for a response.

here you go:

If you cut the memory in half and replace the SSD with a HDD you should be able to fit the GTX 1060(6GB) in your build.
Thank you so much. I have looked at that motherboard before and is a very good price but there could be one compatibility issue with the motherboard not having an up to date bios for using pinnacle ridge CPU (according to pc part picker) , which I'm not sure if the ryzen falls under that category.
If that is the case i would need another older CPU to update the bios.
Do you foresee any of this being a problem?

Well that certainly will have somewhat better gaming performance then what I posted, but keep in mind that going from DDR4-3000/3200 to DDR4-240 will result in a drop in performance as Ryzen CPUs highly benefit from higher speed memory.

The build I posted earlier was something I put together awhile back ago before the 400 series chipsets came out. That is why it it had a B350 motherboard.

Not bad at all. It is really worth it to spend a little extra in order to build a better system.

Thanks, I randomly made that list about a week ago, and it's been fluctuating in price since then. Just over the last couple days the price has increased $60-70!


I'm not sure I would go for that case at $50, but at $30 it was a great deal.

I would definitely still recommend getting the Samsung SSD and gold rated PSU though.
