Hello, everyone! I've been wanting a new computer for quite a while now but never had the money. But that will change in the upcoming weeks or even days! Currently, I have:
AMD X4 860K
Gtx 1050ti
12GB of DDR3 1600mhz
Chinese PSU (SL-500)
So, since I can't upgrade it anymore, I knew that I'll have to spend quite the money, switching almost every component. This is currently what I have put together:
https://www.dateks.lv/en/grozs?cont...WFmYG6KIm5obm5kbooqaGBoaGGKKG5kbGZuaoorW1AA== (Includes corsair RM650X power supply)
The total I would be spending is 800 dollars. Mind that I'm keeping the old gpu, I know it's quite old. But that is being upgraded later down the road. My main question is will I get the bang for the buck? Meaning if I am spending my money wisely on parts. I plan on gaming on this machine at least for the next 6 years. I don't want to spend that kind of money, just to understand I could've bought something better.

With the Aorus Elite, you're on the upper end of the motherboard lineup and it will happily support you whenever you decide to upgrade to a beefier Ryzen in the future.

If you could, shell out the 5 or so more € for the ASUS TUF Gaming X570 is has more "stuff" on it, more SATA and USB 3.0 Ports.

I have no qualms recommending your current setup.
That is a really good build overall, but you can make some changes like this list to make it a bit better. I would get a different case that is a bit nicer. I would also get a decent aftermarket cooler for the 3600 CPU. I would also get a Western Digital 550 1TB SSD becasue its much faster for a similar cost. I made a mock up build that has these suggestions, the PSU I added is not as good as the included one however I added one just to meet the budget of the build.

First of all, thank you for taking your time and picking these parts out, the ones you changed, but I already have a 2TB HDD and a 120GB SSD, I was thinking about changing from the 120GB SSD to an M.2 since the mobo supports it.

Thank you, too for taking you're time for choosing other parts, but do you think the b550 is future proof? I was looking at reviews and most tech YouTubers said that it's better going with an x570 board.

So upon entering all of the parts, on a local site of my country (amazon usually doesn't ship anything) I realized that @helper800 parts would cost me 939,29 euros and @Flayed part's would cost me 886,06 euros. I will enter those parts in like other 6 computer part stores in my country, but the one thing I saw is that the only major change I saw was in the CPU cooler and motherboard choice, now my main focus is on the mobo. Which one should I pic? the X570 or the B550? I was intensely watching reviews on these platforms if you could call them that, and still couldn't understand which really would be the best choice?

After inspecting all of you're suggestions, I have mostly kept all of the things I wanted, before this. But obviously I am thankful for you "tech geeks" for helping out. I usually when I search for pc parts, I search for them in at least 6 different stores, to guarantee that I'm getting the best price, so this is my mostly finished pc part list: https://www.dateks.lv/grozs?content...taedj5BNwMlP8qyDWGpRUBC1oVqk5HAoyStBEavxV9xs=
The motherboard might change, but mostly all of the other things will end up in my new pc. I still cannot understand if B550 or X570 is the way to go. Because I was watching reviews and the X570 that @helper800 suggested has poor thermal results and the B550 just has a weird selection of things that, could've been used the better. At least that's what I heard... I'm just confused at the end of the day. Hopefully that most of the components will last me at least six years... Since I'm spending a lot of money.

Please don't buy MSI motherboard or GPU .. mainly for motherboard go with Asus or Gigabyte .. trust me I have Msi B450 Tomahawk with Ryzen 2600, the motherboard caused so much problems replaced it 2 times still have issues, I regret getting MSI motherboard.

If you have replaced your motherboard and still have issues perhaps the cause of the issues isn't the motherboard?

So since any small concern worries me I changed the motherboard on the build and finding it on another site for 215,00 euros (Gigabyte X570 Aorus Elite) Now my total is 846,76 euros which I can easily get here's the list:
https://www.dateks.lv/en/grozs?cont...ihmampgYWGKImZqaWJpjmWpqaYJprZGhmYYwqWlsLAA==
I know it says over 900 euros but that's just the store's pricing.
Is this good what I have put together?
