As outlined by the compatibility checker your motherboard may have BIOS issue. Select a "Max" motherboard or a 5xx series.

Sorry. I forgot to say I am waiting for b550

But is this build good? Or should I get a r5 3600 for 40 more? Or should I do r3 3100 2060

The Ryzen 5 3600 for a minimal increase in price is definitely worth every penny. Especially now that games and video cards are so CPU intensive and can be bottlenecked.

As for the 1660 Super vs 2060 video cards, that's a tougher question to answer. The 1660 Super is more than capable of playing at 1080p maxed over 60fps and often over 100fps. The 2060 is approximately 15% faster. You would be looking at 110fps rather than 90fps in a game. Would you notice that difference?

For the value I would definitely get the Ryzen 5 for best gaming performance. And the 1660 Super video card is a steal right now and performs great for 1080p. With a good 1080p Gsync/Freesync monitor you would have a pretty nice gaming rig.

My gut feeling says stick to the 1660 Super for value, and if you want to go beyond 1080p such as ultrawide or 1440p then I would look into the 2070 series and bypass the 2060 altogether. All of this depends on your monitor and possible future monitor upgrades.

Here is the configuration for a $700 gaming PC. It is very efficient and provides very good performance. You can game at 1440p and also stream.Here are the parts:
MOBO:
Asus TUF B450M-Plus Gaming

CPU:
AMD Ryzen 5 1600 6-Core, 12-Thread

RAM:
Crucial Ballistix Sport LT 3200 MHz DDR4 DRAM Desktop Gaming Memory Kit 16GB (8GBx2)

GPU:
Radeon RX 5600 XT 6GB

SSD:
Inland Premium 512GB 3D NAND M.2 2280 PCIe NVMe 3.0 x4 Internal Solid State Drive

PSU:
Thermaltake Smart BX1 550W Bronze

Case:
Cooler Master MasterBox MB311L ARGB Airflow Micro-ATX Tower

If you want you can swap the SSD for a HDD but I don't recommend that as you cna buy a HDD later.

128gb ssd's are borderline useless. Spend the extra $9 and get the 256gb version.

So basically I should get Ruzen 5 3600 1660s?

 

[gondo]

Ryzen 5 3600 is basically one of the top value CPUs on the market now. Same goes for the 1660Super while it's still available....better value than a 2060 and still 1080p capable. These two are best buys right now.

That's all really nice if your budget allows, but think with $700 you will struggle to get that in.

I can do it for 720

Would really urge you to get a better quality psu. Me myself would rather use the Ryzen 3300X with a better psu.

Since the bios that supports the cpu is one year old might you expect that he motherboard has it, but if it is old stock could you be in trouble and would you need an older type cpu to update it.

Really? I will do so but the bios should be ok

Can you send your reccomended psu?

Seasonic would be a good choice.
Also a 5600 XT def is worth the price difference.

Seasonic would be a good choice.

PCPartPicker Part List

He has a $700 budget and the psu is already going to push him over if he stays with the Ryzen 3600 he chose.

For psu's under $100,
https://pcpartpicker.com/product/zp...80-gold-certified-atx-power-supply-ne500g-zen
or this one (no reviews yet so it's abit of a guess how quality turns out to be),
https://pcpartpicker.com/product/zd...-fully-modular-atx-power-supply-220-b5-0550-v if it's the "B3" without that major flaw should it be decent.

If you really want something good,
https://www.newegg.com/seasonic-focus-sgx-ssr-500sgx-500w/p/N82E16817151230?Item=N82E16817151230
comes with an ATX bracket, downside is the short cables.

There are more options, but most are back ordered.

the Ryzen 3300X would be better pure for gaming and doesn't cost much more

Probably not the powerfull build you wanted, well mean that gpu. Might want to take a look at the used market and see what you could get there for roughly the same money.

Some extra info, the two fans since the case comes without them. And see now that this psu is really more expensive when truly looking at Amazon. Hard to find something that is available.
