Don't cheap out on the power supply. Super high clock speed RAM does not have a significant performance benefit. Save some money on slower RAM (3200) and use that money for a better power supply.

What power supply would you suggest? This one has a 4.7 out of 5 rating on amazon with 2,856 reviews.

Be careful with reviews from purchasers at places like Amazon etc. They'll give 5 stars just because it shipped fast, arrived in good shape and works. Very few will get back into that review and change it when it dies or blows up the pc 6 months later, since they have forgotten all about it.

Instead, they come here, ask why their pc doesn't work, and often as not ppl tell them to get a better psu and hopefully it hadn't done any irreparable damage to other components. Amazon looks good because of the initial high rating, we don't look good because we tell you you were mistaken and now need to spend more money you don't have.

Which is why most of us are all to happy when ppl Ask first, purchase later. Everybody wins. You may spend more than you want to initially, but the chances of having to spend even more on repairs drop drastically.

Psu- really bad.
Ram- way too high priced, very little value for Intel, 2933/3200 is plenty, cheaper, better value especially considering 4400MHz is not supported on that motherboard chipset with a 10th Gen cpu. Requires an 11th gen cpu to unlock ram tables for OC.

Cooler is fine for moderate use, high overclocks and max cpu usage will stress it. An air cooler such as the CM hyper212 evo has identical performance overall, but a better option, cheaper than the aio would be the Arctic esports duo, it's quieter as well as better performance.

Being Intel, might want to consider the 10700 instead. Better performance than the 10600kf, has an igpu, so isn't reliant on the dgpu for video output. With a B560 motherboard, there's no cpu OC anyway, so paying extra for a K varient that can't be oc'd offers no real value.

Which would be better, MSI MPG Z490 gaming edge ATX or the Gigabyte Z490 gaming X AX for performance and overclocking?

Better VRM's if you don't need the wifi.

Unlike Ryzen cpu's, Intel 10/11 gen aren't nearly as memory dependent. 3200Mhz ftw.

Granted this cpu is $39 more but it does a few things that the 10 gen cpu in your build doesn't such as allow for use of the top NVMe SSD slot not to mention it gives you better performance.

Intel Core i5-11400F Review - The Best Rocket Lake

The Core i5-11400F is Intel's most affordable Rocket Lake processor. While its multiplier is locked, you can still adjust the power limit. Once we did that, the CPU ran over 15% faster and almost matched the Core i5-11600K. We also made an interesting discovery regarding Gear 1 vs. Gear 2.
