Hello everyone, I would like to ask you for compatibility and recommendations on my new build, I have some of the stuff and would love if anyone told me to change something to better.
CPU: i3-7100 3.9 GHz
Ram: I need a good kinda cheap 8gb.
GPU: Sapphire Vega 56 Pulse 8gb
Motherboard: Asus Prime H270
Case: Thermaltake Versa C23 RGB Tempered Glass Mid Tower. // Corsair Carbide Series 275R White. // NZXT H500 Black // Cooler Master Master Case H500
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Im thinking to buy the MasterCase H500 from coolermaster
Fans: I need suggestions with that.
CPU Cooler: Cooler Master - Hyper 212 LED Turbo (Red) 66.3
PSU: Delco 600W (Total Max)
I'm buying the Case and Ram's, and need suggestions to what shall I change (Even from my main build). and what's better, Literally everything u can help with.
The main point I would be worried about is that CPU, try to sell it and get at least i5-7600k, it doesn't have to be brand new, check out some deals on ebay.
With ram, check the deals that you have going around in your region. 2x4b would be sufficient, while 2x8gb would be optimal. Since it's Intel, the actual speed doesn't matter that much. Try to look for sweet spot between Mhz and Timings. But most of the times you wouldn't feel difference betwen 2400mhz CL 16 to 3200 cl 16. Same as with the CPU, check ebay and maybe even get used one.
Although this is not a perfect solution : You can even buy 1x4gb stick for now and have the PC usable, it won't play any games, but you can browse the net and watch movies and when you gather some more cash get another 4gb.
CPU cooler is fine for now.
PSU: well if it works it works.
Fans : Don't worry too much about them, whatever you get is fine. Don't listen to elitist they will throw Noctua in your face every sentence they can, but really it doesn't matter much for the case fans. But if you wonna maximize the performance of the CPU, then I would switch the fan of your 212 cooler to this one :

There's nothing better than that. It's expensive, true. But even if you switch your CPU to 7600k, it would cool it well, even overclocked.
For the case it's you own preference, basically what you like best, go for it.
My personal case of choice from the midrange market is this :
Thanks for the detailed information !
I have a ready build but I'm doin major upgrades , like GPU , Case , etc ,, so I'll upgrade the GPU and Case and then I can continue upgrading my pc parts every now and then
So , shall I switch to ryzen or stay with Intel but just upgrading it,
* *Thank you for the response, well I have got those parts :-
MBB is Asus H270 prime I3-7100 GTX MSI 960 8gb ram from a random company PSU from Delco and its 650 Watts I guess the case is Thermal take core P3 1tb Hard drive
I'm from the UAE , Speceficly Abu Dhabi ,, you can use a website called " NewEgg"
I have a flexible budget , and I'm upgrading a piece by piece suffering at the begging is better than regretting after time has passed ,, ,
I'm starting from the Case and GPU and the'll be "Sapphire vega 56 pulse " , "CoolerMaster MasterCase H500"
If they truly are that great as anticipated, then I would advise to pick up great x570 board when they come out and some cheap ryzen CPU to begin with, and then later on upgrade to one of the new beast CPU's 😉
