Hello fellow builders.

My friend wanted a new gaming pc- the price is around 1000 euros for the build in Denmark.
However here are the listing of items, and I would like to know if you see a bottleneck somewhere or if an item is better and close to the given product (price range)

CPU: Amd Ryzen 5 3600x
PSU: Gigabyte G750H 750 Watt
GPU: Nvidia Rtx 2060 (gigabyte geforce rtx 2060 OC - 6gb Gdddr6)
SSD: Samsung 860 EVO 500GB
Ram: Cosair vengeance RGB PRo ddr4 3200 2x8gb
MBD: MSI MPG X570 Gaming PLUS
Cabinet: Fractal Design Meshicy C TG White.


Any recommendations or changes are highly appreciated!

Best Regards

Mark Sørensen

You're somewhat going overkill on the motherboard, a B450 Tomahawk Max will deliver the same performance for less money. You can use the saved money for improving some other component, like more storage if required, 3600 MHz RAM, or a faster GPU if it fits in the budget.

Thank you kindly for the quick response Shektron!
I completely agree to your observation, and we had discussed that possiblity too 🙂!
