Build Advice Could anyone review this build please?

[Fredrick Barnes]

AMD Ryzen 5 7600 - 215 USD
MSI Pro B650M-B - 102 USD
Adata XPG 6000MHz 16GB×1 - 55 USD
MSI MAG A650BN 650W 80 Plus bronze - 56 USD

Total = 428 USD

(Buying it this week)

I already have a case (MSI 320R), storage and peripherals

I'm getting the RX6600 or the RTX 3060 in a few months

Is there anything I should change?

(Location - India)

I mostly play games like Beam ng / asseto corsa and I use adobe Lightroom alot

Currently using a 75hz 1080p Samsung monitor

Any help is appreciated!
Thanks

Welcome to the forums, newcomer!

If you're asking for a better priced option, we're not located in India(this site is based in the USA) which is why we'll need to know what sort of sites you have access to and effectively showing us what sort of parts/components you have at your disposal.

On a face value, you're build is fine as is but you'll see much more benefit in investing in a dual channel 2x16GB DDR5-6000MHz AMD E.X.P.O advertised ram kit to get the most out of your Ryzen 7000 series platform. I would also look for a motherboard that has a heatsink atop of it for longevity's sake.

AMD performance is tightly tied to ram speed.
But, buying only a single stick of 16gb of ram is cutting your ram speed in half because of single channel operation.
Buy a 2 x 8gb kit.
If you had thoughts of being able to upgrade ram by adding another 16gb in the future, that is not a good idea.
Ram must be matched from a single kit to perform properly.
Best to buy a 2 x 16gb kit up front.

The incremental cost of going from 650w to 750/850w is not great.
Modern graphics cards can have higher than nominal power draw peaks.
There is no downside to higher wattage(other than the cost).
A psu onlu used the power demanded of it, regardless of the max capability.
And a quality psu will have a longer warranty than the 5 years for the msi psu.

Thank you

I know. I was just wanted to know if there will be compatibility issues or something not working well together.

Dual channel goes above my budget right now but I'll upgrade to it eventually.

I'll look for a motherboard with better chipset cooling

I'm gonna upgrade to 16x2 in some time

I'll look into better PSU at this price range.

Thanks!

Just how do you plan to upgrade to 2 x 16gb?
Adding a second 1 x 16gb stick is likely to cause compatibility issues because of mismatched ram.
Identical part numbers do not guarantee a match.
Ram from the same vendor and part number can be made up of differing manufacturing components over time.
If you plan to replace 1 x 16gb with 2 x 16gb, then ok.

Yup, I'm going to replace with RAM with a dual channel kit

Then, why not use 2 x 8gb to start with?
The cost is about the same.

I can't find 2×8 gb 6000MHz on amazon or local stores

(Its either DDR4 or its DDR5 32/64 gb kit)

 

[geofelt]

6000 speed is the dual channel rate.
Then with one stick, you will be running at 3000.
Better to buy a 2 x 5400 ddr5

Oh. I don't know that

5200 x 2 and 6000 x 2 only have a 10 USD Difference


How is this
G Skill RipJaws S5 32GB 16 x 2 6000MHz - 101 USD

Or

GSkill Flare X5 32Gb (16Gbx2) DDR5 6000MHz - 112 USD

 

[geofelt]

I would pick the second g.skil flare option since it supports EXPO for amd systems.
