Im building a mixed use PC for pretty much everything. I don't really need a work station so I decided to go for some mid-tier (atleast what i've been told are mid-tier) components. I'll list them below.

  • AMD ryzen 5 5600x 4.6GHz ( AU$ 345 )
  • Gigabyte B550 Aorus Elite V2 AM4 ATX Motherboard (AU$199)
  • Corsair 16GB (2x8GB) CMK16GX4M2Z3200C16 (AU$ 115)
  • Samsung 970 EVO Plus 1TB (AU$ 165)

I've thrown these together based on what i've read on various forums. Will I need SATA storage for anything?

Need some help on the GPU, this is what i've been recommended as they are readily available in australia.
GPU :
  • Gigabyte GeForce RTX 3060 Eagle OC 12G (AU$ 799)
  • Gigabyte GeForce RTX 3060 Aorus Elite V2 12G (AU$ 869)
  • MSI GeForce RTX 3060 Ventus 2X 12G OC LHR Graphics Card (AU$799)


This totals in at about A$1700 (USD 1250). My budget is about $2000 AUD or about $1500 USD. Haven't really looked into the case/power supply yet but I guess that shouldn't be too hard once i've goten everything sorted. I appreciate the help.
