[SOLVED] Looking to build a $600-700 computer

[Hakou]

Hey everyone, I'm looking to build a decent pc for $600-700, can be a bit more if required. Partner already chose out a pc case that states (support ATX, Micro-ATX, Mini-ATX motherboard). Not too sure what that means. Case is separate budget. Looking for help to choose decent parts. Would like something with 16gb ram, preferably at least a ryzen 5 or a decent intel, a motherboard that has wifi and bluetooth already built in or decent alternatives, cpu cooler perhaps? not sure if that'd be required, giving them my old R9 290 gpu, power supply, need SSD and maybe a decent hard drive that's 1TB? Thanks. Not exactly sure what's in for 2021 despite looking around.

Edit: forgot to mention this is in CAD. Would be shopping on newegg, canadacomputers, amazon, etc I guess

I used Newegg.ca but you can probably do better on most of these parts using Amazon.ca so you don't get hosed on shipping. That Asrock board in this build has an M.2 KEY E slot which allows for that Intel Wi Fi 6 desktop kit in this build .. comes complete w/antennas. The 550w psu in this build will allow you to push cards such as the RTX 3060.

Intel Core i5-10400F Review - Six Cores with HT for Under $200

Intel's new Core i5-10400F offers a large performance jump over the previous generation Core i5-9400F because of its six-core/twelve-thread design. In this Core i5-10400F review we also test the feasibility of overclocking through BCLK, or by relaxing the PL1 and PL2 Turbo Limits.

“Supports ATX, Micro-ATX, Mini-ATX motherboard”

If you’re still wondering, these are sizes of motherboards. Each motherboard is a size and that determines if it can fit in a case. An ATX MOBO won’t fit in a Micro-ATX case and Vice Versa. MOBO sizes are eATX, ATX (what most modern mobos use), Micro-ATX, Mini-ATX, and ITX or Mini-ITX (might be same as Mini-ATX)

TLDR: These are sizes and determine what fits.

Thanks! Looks like that Mobo is sold out every where at the moment though. Also do you think I would need a CPU fan/cooler or would this setup be fine?

Most of those new boards (B560 series) are pre-order only atm due to the fact Rocket Lake cpu's won't be officially released until the end of this month. The B560 boards work with both Comet Lake (10th gen) and the new Rocket Lake (11th gen).

You would need a cooler. Air Cooler should be fine, but Aio if you plan to OC.

Thanks for all the help guys, I think I'm gonna go with most of what Why_Me suggested. Are there any other alternatives for the rams though?

 

[mxnty]

Crucial is great. If you want an alternative, I say G.Skill.

Crucial or Corsair along with G.Skill.

 

[Hakou]

Thanks. Can you recommend another motherboard with built in wifi and bluetooth that works with the CPU that you recommended though? I don't think I'd need that Wifi 6.

All the newer Intel boards are set up for Wi Fi 6 ... other than the new Z590 boards which are set up for Wi Fi 6E.

 

[Hakou]

Oh, thanks for the quick update Why_Me. I guess I'll wait until stocks arrive then. Thanks for all the help.

@Why_Me wow I managed to order the motherboard, hopefully it comes in. Stock sold out in seconds. I was pretty much eyeing the page the past two days haha
