Question Is this a good combo?

[karta77]

Hey, I found a cheap deal

AMD Ryzen 5 5600, ASROCK A520M-HVS, G.SKILL 16GB Aegis DDR4 3200MHz CL16 KIT​

Is this a good combo, I have RX 580 Sapphire Pulse 8gb and 500W PSU

There is also another option

i3 12100, h610m, 16gb g.skill 3200mhz

what would u suggest?

You should pair a DDR4-3600MHz tight latencied ram kit in order to get the most out of your Ryzen 5000 platform. To add, what is the make and model of the 500W PSU you've listed above? I wouldn't go with Intel.

It's Coolermaster, not sure the exact model, I can check if really needed

So 3600 CL18 would be better in this case?

cl 16 and better find a cheap b550

It's really needed.

It's

ELITE 500W 230V - V3​

If needed I could get stronger one

if you have worked on it, throw it away now, at least 650 and gold to be ok

Yeah, that's horrifying. It's not so much the wattage as the absolutely abysmal quality. Very cheaply slapped together junk that should never be used with your current GPU or any that requires supplementary power; you've been fortunate if you've been running that GPU with that PSU for a while and haven't had (visible) problems.
