[SOLVED] Is this PC good for 900$?

[jAAklis]

Here is the pc I built not really based on looks, but I wanted some RGB in it since it has a side panel. If you`ve got some better ideas post them down below, but my absolute maximum budget is 1000$.

Very nice build! 👍

It's good but I'd change a few parts. (More storage/More RGB/Better cooler/Cheaper PSU/Better GPU).

A very solid build for $900, yes.

The 212 is unnecessary, the stock 2600 cooler is ok... and the 212 EVO is nothing spectacular.

For the money these days, a 250GB SATA M.2 SSD doesn't make a whole lot of sense. In the ~$50 range, you're not far off a 500GB SSD

There are some changes I would make however and, if you want some RGB flair in there, there's smarter/more economical changes that could be done.

Example:

RGB in the SSD, RAM and case fans*. Stronger GPU.
Still leaves you ~$40 if you wanted to add an aftermarket cooler.

The 212 EVO has an RGB variant, but at $45 you're paying a sizeable premium for RGB.

You could have a 240mm AIO with RGB from CoolerMaster. Not the best 240mm AIO in the world, but the price reflects that.

The Captain EX is a solid AIO, has RGB and is white, so would reflect the RGB in the case even better. $80 cooler though..

*The case will ship with 3x RGB fans for $80 - PCPP isn't picking the price up correctly, so I overrode it.

The stock cooler is very loud so if a much quieter aftermarket cooler can be added into the budget I'd highly recommend it.

Is this build good for 850$? My absolute max is 900$, but I don`t think I need to change anything. If you can, can you please check if all of the RGB is compatible with the motherboards headers and aura sync?

If you have a better build for 850-900$ post it down below!

Thank you for reading,

Good build but i wold take air cooler some noctua,termalright not aio

 

[mdd1963]

I'd skip all the LED fans (saves $50, as the case usually includes two fans anyway), drop water cooling(saving $90), as the fan included with the R5-2600 is adequate....

Drop the WD spinning drive, and simply get a 1 or 2 TB NVME M.2 SSD Intel 660P for $109/$189, respectively....

I`ll think about that, thanks for the idea

The build is very good, but do you think that the cooling would be enough?
The case has 3 front fans and in my build i have a rear fan and 240mm aio on top.

If performance is your priority over aesthetics and noise of the build, then this will suit you better. RTX2060 is a decent improvement over even GTX1660Ti.

I would like asthetics too, idk Im 15 and I dont really need a powerfull pc all I need is a pc that would last me like 3 years and play games medium settings and up whatever, but it has to have some rgb, side panel and has to be around 900$

The 212 Black is plenty for cooling.
