Gaming PC build Radeon RX 580 8GB, Ryzen R7 1700, 12GB performance review

According to the top 1000 recommended requirements for PC games a PC with a Ryzen R7 1700 processor, a Radeon RX 580 8GB graphics card and 12GB RAM is better performing than 581 games from that list.

Change graphics settings up to High for 50 FPS and then Ultra gets 36 FPS.
