I think some of these parts seem overpriced oO
the SSD 240GB for 130? the Crucial MX300 525 GB is only 150 .... and my Crucial still makes no problems after 3 years
Same goes for the RAM you can get pretty much the same for at least 50 less just withouth the cool red paint which you can't see within your tower if it is not open XD

I don't really like Seagate but I guess the HDDs are made by only one or two companys anyways so pretty much the same ... I still preffer WD

Not sure about where you want to put your PC but I tell you from own experience, don't get a case that has lights !
When this thing is in your room and you want to sleep it is the worst thing ever having lights shining everywhere and after a few days it just annoying and not cool anymore.

No idea about CPU and Grafics as I am on the Intel train as most people but I guess they are getting better again and are cheaper so yeah might be okay.

I prefer motherboards by Gigabyte based on past experience, always found them to be very reliable. Simply personal preference though.
For the SSD consider one of the Samsung EVO's, they have got really good reviews and I have a few in various things myself.

Ryzen 5 1600's are supposed to be very good with multi core stuff, so it might be worth also considering that if your in the AMD camp.

A video you might want to watch here:

  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    i thought everybody knew cocktails are like 75% ice
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Yeah but not like this.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's not like they're complaining that their Slurpee is 99% ice or something, but if the cocktail calls for "shot of vodka, shot of vermouth, shot of gin, shot of Campari, three shots of juice, squirt of lemon" and ends up being a thimbleful of booze, that's a problem.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    the funny thing is cocktails in norway are only allowed to have 1 20ml shot of booze
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    so..... yeah
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    we're used to only having a thimbleful of booze
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Booo.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    same thing if you want whisky on the rocks or something, you can't get a double
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but you could buy as many shots of whisky (or anything else) as you want and ask for a glass of ice and pour them in
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    it's dumb
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Maybe.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    There was a comparison of the number of Ibuprofen poisonings before and after they limited the maximum dosage per box or per pill (i'll look that up). No limit on the number of boxes you can still buy as many as you want, so people argued it was pointless.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    But the number of (accidental) poisonings dropped because drinking an entire package of ibuprofen pills went from "I need a new liver" to "I need a new box of Ibuprofen".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Here we have ketoprofen that used to be prescription-only because of the risk of toxic dosages, but then they halved the dose per pill and sell them in bottles of six pills apiece instead of twenty and it doesn't need a prescription any more. Yes you can buy more than one bottle but people simply don't.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Usually accidentally overdose of ibuprofen here is from people taking like cold medicine then ibuprofen for a headache and the combination is over what they need
