Forget about good and consistent framerates for the quoted build. Custom build is always better at this budget. 512GB ssd is overkill. Settle with a 120-256 GB one and use the budget saved on a 1060 6 GB or 1070. Lite 5 has poor airflow (+ not good enough build). That "650W" might end up frying your system (give complete details here).

WTF is wrong with people recently going for super expensive show offy builds and completely disregarding the two main performance hitters, CPU and GPU.
If you want a no compromise rig, secure yourself a 1070 and a R5 1600 and then accomodate on other components.

1600 is a 6 core 12 thread cpu as opposed to 1500x which has 4 cores and 8 threads.1600x is merely a higher clocked version of the base 1600 cpu.If you can afford it,its advisable to purchase the 1600/1600x as it will make your rig relatively more future-proof as games start becoming more demanding.

No, you didn't get my point. Store OS and all your necessary programs on the SSD and all media on HDD. Let me check for the best possible config in your budget.

@SaiyanGoku reviews on major tech sites & forums suggest that 60/64/120GB SSD are not really worth buying as manufacturers are focusing on 250GB & above ssd market as it is the one that gets them major revenue in retail market(aka developed nations markets). Because of this there is quite a performance hit when going below 250/256GB ssd even with same brand.Unless one is absolutely budget restricted,minimum one should get is Samsung 750Evo 250GB.

@bssunilreddy where exactly are you getting 120GB 750EVO for 4k?as far as i know no "reputable site/seller" is even having a stock of these 120gb samsung SSDs.

^ evo 750 120gb was discontinued by samsung and replaced by this 850 120gb.. not sure about india availability

The Samsung SSD 850 120GB Review: A Little TLC for SATA..

Major benefit of 850 evo 256 gb apart from storage capacity and speed is longer warranty of 5 years ..

Bro , get the 250gb Ssd Samsung 850 evo + 1 Tb WD blue one is best & suitable option for now.
Don't get 16gb ram becoz ram prices too high , get 8 gb now and add 8gb later at same model.
Ryzen 1600 is good choice.

the 9k amazon SSD is 850 PRO , which has extremely long warranty of 10 years.. whereas 7k SSD is 850 EVO with 5 years warranty..

performance difference between both not that much.. 850 Evo 256gb is fine , spend the rest amount in 1tb HDD and wait till feb/march

Man, wait for B360 and H310 mobos. I won't recommend ryzen because you will be using it for purely gaming.

Approx release date for the mobos? i already delayed couple of months and now urgent need of a second computer.

This computer will be mainly for work - high frequency trading. ( a gaming pc is more then sufficient for this ) in between sometimes for gaming / weekend gaming.

for a pc that is intended primarily for conducting business/office related operations,using a ryzen processor will be a gross overkill-something like a pentium g4560/4600 would have been more suitable and cost effective in this case.
