Which one of these mobos make more sense and is more cost effective for the Ryzen 5 PRO 4650G. Btw I'm planning to upgrade to 5600x or 6600x in the future. Also not going to overclock anything except for RAM: Crucial Ballistix 3600 MHz (XMP Profile). ASUS TUF B550 PLUS GAMING - 190$ ARock B550M...

I don't live in the US. in my country the Ryzen 5600x is available. Do you think the DDR4-3600MHz will be worth it compared to the 3200MHZ especially in gaming? The price difference between the two here is around 20$. For the 3060 ti, I think the 450w PSU is enough! It is not?

Here is the full build: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/KZqGxc Any recommendations?

Which one of these two is the better option: Ryzen 5600x + RTX 3060 ti or Ryzen 3600 + RTX 3070 ? I planning to keep my PC for at least three years before upgrading.

I already knew about the spikes for last gen AMD GPUs but the 3000 series I didn't knew about that, thanks for the info. I thought NVidia have a better power management than AMD, I guess not. One last question does the new AMD 6000 series have those power spikes too?

Just for reference here is my build: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/Jf8fht No? Does that mean I will be pushing the psu to its limits which is not good? Or the psu power delivery is not sufficient?

Will the Corsair CXM 450 W 80+ Bronze PSU work with RTX 3070 without problems?

Finally, I'm joining the Master Race ;-) Any help or thoughts are welcome.

The B450 Max motherboards are shipped with bios that works with Ryzen 3000 series but will it be backward compatible with older CPUs like 1600 AF or 2600 or not?

I have this motherboard: MSI B450-A PRO MAX I planning to buy Ryzen 1600 AF CPU, will the CPU work out of the box with my mobo or I need to flash bios in this case?

I want to buy Radeon 5700 XT but I keep reading people complaining about driver issues. Do you guys recommend buying the rx 5700 xt or maybe wait the next gen gpu later this year? I'm going to pull my hair lol.. I'm very confused to what should be doneo_O

So as long as I run stock settings I'm fine right? I read people saying this board have really bad vrms that's why I'm worried!

My question is: Can I pair a Ryzen 3700X CPU with this motherboard: MSI B450M-A PRO MAX. Are there any concerns? Btw I already have the mobo and I want to buy the 8 core CPU.

Thanks everyone for help!

@TJ Hooker @King_V How about this unit: Corsair TX550M 80Plus Gold / 550W ?
