[SOLVED] $800 mid/budget build - was hoping for better deals this week

[mojohummus]

Building a new gaming desktop as my current desktop is a dinosaur. The goal is for this system to last me about 5 years and able to play games at mid settings. I normally don't play graphics intensive games, but am interested in Cyberpunk 2077.

Getting this Dell monitor for both gaming and remote work - Dell 27 Monitor - SE2719HR.

This is my current parts list. Was really hoping to see deals on the Ryzen 5 3600 and GTX 1660 Super but that does not seem like it will happen for a while. Already ordered the SSD for $104.

Now is the absolute worst time to buy. With BF/CM right around the corner your best bet is to wait.
There will definitely be better deals on better graphics cards. Power supply isn't the best - consider waiting and getting something better in about 5-6 weeks.

Looks pretty good except the power supply. I would not go any lower than Corsair CX series for a power supply.

Frankly, choose another PSU. This one has .... ehh diplomatically speaking, mixed reviews all over the internet (to put it mildly).
And the PSU is the most important part of the PC

i think that PSU is probably fine as long as you dont plan on getting a more power hungry video card and CPU.

That CPU is only 65w, but if you decide to upgrade to the 3600x or something its gonna jump to 105w and stability might become and issue especially if youre trying to overclock anything.

theres definitely better PSUs out there, id open your budget to around 75-100$ for a psu and look for something atleast partially modular. If you need adjust your budget without sacrificing performance you could always get a smaller SSD like 250 or 500gb. Once that starts to fill up just get another 2.5" SSD or even a usb3.1 external SSD. Keep your OS, Steam, and a few of your most played games on the m.2 and keep all other files and applications on the secondary SSD.

PSUs degrade over time. this one on this system will already be at the edge. that's just E-waste

this as already debated over and over, just check the PSU Tier List and buy accordingly.
For keeping a system running for 5 years, i recommend no less than Tier B for anything that needs a 6-Pin connector. check warranties. good PSUs offer 5+ years of warranty. you can expect that life expectancy,

Looks good, I might consider waiting a little bit, but it's really up to personal preference. One thing I would do is go with 3600mhz memory it won't cost that much more and you will get a hefty performance boost.
