Hi there everyone, I've been googling for days now and still cant decide which PC build would fit me best. Im planning to use it for gaming mainly. Here are the 2 builds I found, both of them are in same price range. Games that I will play are CSGO 90% and GTA V, Rust, Valorant

Build 1
Motherboard:
MB B450M
Graphics: Nvidia GeForce RTX 3060 12GB
Procesor: Ryzen 5 5500
RAM: 2x 8GB 3200 DDR4
SSD: 512 GB NVMe M.2
Case: MS Fighter V315
Power Supply: 600W

Build 2
Motherboard: MB B450M
Graphics: VGA Nvidia GeForce® RTX 2060 6GB
Procesor Ryzen 5 5600X
Ram: 2x 8GB 3200 DDR4
SSD 240GB
Case: MS FIGHTER V315
Power Supply 600W

since its a low powered system a mid tier 600W psu would do. but its risky if they put in a dirt cheap PSU.

Can you enquire about the model by contacting them? And what cooler for CPU? the box cooler that comes bundled in with the 5500?

Because your games are cpu centric and mostly single threaded, the 5600X option would be better.
OTOH, if you play fast action games or on higher resolution and settings, the 3060 option will be better.
Do you have any other choices?

240gb will be very small and really should be larger.

And, what is the quality of the psu? a 600w unit smacks of a cheap psu.
You can best tell the quality of a psu by the warranty. 5 years should be minimum, 7 years gets you a good unit.

No matter which one you choose... both need these issues addressed.

What can you even do with 240 or 512 GB drive in today's PC world?

2TB drives are like $120 now. An easy fix.

PSU is the backbone of the system... the last part you want to go cheap on.
