PC Building advice
Hey,
I'm planning on building my first PC. Over the past weeks I've been assembling a list of parts (See: https://pcpartpicker.com/user/JortvD/saved/FBFgsY). The idea is that it can run most games in 4k at around 60 fps. These games include but are not limited to GTA V, PlanetSide 2, CIV V and of course Minecraft. The budget lays around € 1000, so that's something like $ 1070. Is there anything I should change before I buy everything?
Also, should I wait for ryzen?

That PSU is probably a bit overpowered for what you need.

I would still go for a 500-550W psu even if 400 or 450 would suffice. simply for the reason that 500 or 550 is enough for most any single card system, so if you upgrade in the future you can be pretty certain you will not need to replace the psu (ofcourse this is if you buy a decent quality one). But yeah he could get away with 450 if he really wanted to.
As to ryzen, ive seen varying stuff about it, some "proof" it kicks intels ass some that amd gets their kicked once again. Regardless its one of the most prommising lineups they have presented in a while and unless you really need the pc now (maybe you have non atm) it is probably worth waiting out the Ryzen release and seeing what the benchmarks do.
