Are you located in the US? What is your budget?

Ryzen 3600 is worth the $15-20 over a 2600. I’d spend just a bit more on the RAM for 3600mhz. 5600xt is a good choice for 1080p gaming. What PSU are you getting?

What is the primary purpose of the computer and what is the budget?

You can also remove the added cooler and see if the included is good enough for your needs. If you aren't going to overclock the only big reason to change from the included cooler is to make the system quieter.

Yes I am, my budget is around 750 $, since I already have an old premade computer, which I will be selling, but will keep the case, the HDD's, and the power supply unit which is Thermaltake 2R 600 watts. As for the advice about the cpu, I couldn't find them under 200 $, but then found one on newegg, so thanks. As for the RAM, are you saying to get better quality ones, or more storage? Thank you

This is supposed to be a gaming computer, it is supposed to run the newest games at High graphics, and above 40 fps. And the budget is around 750 $. Thank you

I have read that the included coolers, are pretty bad and you should switch them (Wraith Stealth Coolers).

Well you have a certain budget, the first thing to do is get the computer up and running, sometimes you have to sacrifice wants compared to needs. Do you NEED a new CPU cooler, no. That’s something that can be added later when you have more money available if it comes down to it.

I would not use the old power supply. Thermaltake used to have some decent PSUs, however, now they aren't very good and knowing which one is decent is hard to find. With the case do you know what size motherboard it is able to use?

The Wraith Coolers aren't bad. Assuming you aren't going to overclock they are typically good enough. The only really good reason to change them is because the fan is too noisy.

True, I'm going to do that and save some money. Thanks

The power supply has served me for 3 years now, I think it works pretty well, since there haven't been any crashes in that time of use. And yes, the case I have is compatible it is,
Width
199 mm (19.9 cm)
Height
432 mm (43.2 cm)
Depth
457 mm (45.7 cm).
And the motherboard is,
12 x 9.6 x 2 inches
As for the CPU cooler, I think I'm going to get one later. I'll just use the stock cooler for now.

 

[PC_Master_Race_MaN]

Do any of you know if the motherboard is compatible with all of the other components?

Everything is compatible. The glaring issue is your PSU. This is the most overlooked part of most computers. The one you have is simply crap. It was crap brand new and would be fine for a cheap office PC but not one with a dedicated GPU. After three years I wouldn’t hook up a brand new 5600xt to it but to each their own. You won’t find a QUALITY PSU that belongs being paired with a dedicated GPU for under about $80.

Do you think the Evga 600 BR 600 Watts PSU would work. This PSU is recommended in most videos. Would this be a good pick? If not, could you recommend a better PSU?

Nope that’s garbage too. Don’t let the EVGA name fool you. Corsair CX550(non M) is cheapest I’d get. The M versions aren’t good.

Why would you pick this one in particular?

Because it’s the cheapest well reviewed PSU that you should buy. You can spend more and get better but this one is the bottom line of QUALITY.
