It sucks.

The PSU is low quality, useless RGB, no GPU.

i have my gpu 1070ti


but upg from i5 4690k is it good??

Approximation:
CPU: $330
Motherboard: $80
SSD: $80
RAM: $90
PSU: $90
Windows (CD-Key): $20
Total: $690 +$60 Case = $750

You could buy the build brand new 3 years ago for $750.

It is a decent upgrade from 4690K, but the build sucks.

the 3600 is a decent upgrade, but the 5800X3D is the best case for that mobo. the 5800X3D is a really good CPU.

and that PSU makes it a no deal. So maybe look for some other used PC with the 5800X3D? or look for individual parts?

5800x3D are a bit too expensive

Just to back up the other voices, the PSU makes this a no go since you'd need to replace it. Someone's 15-year-old, middling PSU belongs at a recycling center, not powering your GPU.

and the other components are fine?

and the other components are fine?

Mostly, yeah. Low amount of storage, but that can always be rectified. Not the worst or the best motherboard. Can update BIOS and get support for 5XXX AMD CPUs as well.

The PSU you linked is an absolute horror. It makes the mediocre, 15-year-old PSU at the top of this thread look amazing in comparison.

Let's put it this way. If someone *gave* you $200 on the condition that you had to use that "White Shark" PSU into your PC, it's *still* an awful deal for you.

Tier B on the tier list is about as low as you should go on any GPU that requires supplementary power. A fake 500W PSU isn't even in the same galaxy. Not only is it a fake in any meaningful way -- it's basically a 300W PSU to any PC made after about 1999 -- it's fake in an ultra-technical way; it's a completely fake 80 Plus certification. Even *bad* PSUs can get 80 Plus Standard certification, the 80 Plus people have never even heard of this PSU.

I would stick with b450 mobo.

Alright. if I take A, B tire PSU, are the other components good??

Is the A520M mbo really bad, you wouldn't buy it, or is there some other reason?

The A520 mobo do not have great VRMs. the Ryzen in B450 can auto overclock with PBO enabled. and VRMs and cpu cooling play a big part in that.
