Question What do you think about this build?

[delibasic.hamza]

Hello, I'm building a new computer and this is what I came up with:
Motherboard: Asus Prime B550 Plus
Processor: Ryzen 5 5600
Graphics card: GTX 1660 Super Dual Evo 6GB
RAM: (I'll use ram from my old computer until I get the money for a new one)
Storage: Samsung EVO 860 1TB
PSU: EVGA Supernova B3 550W Bronze Fully Modular

What do you think, should I change something, are these components compatible?
Thanks!

I forgot to put it, it's GTX 1660 Super Dual Evo 6GB

When building new, look to current gen.
Intel 13th gen 13400 for example.

Yes but it's about 180 dollars more expensive than ryzen 5 5600

Performance numbers are not out yet for the i3-13100.
intel 13th gen gets about a 15% IPC boost over 12th gen.
But, look at this review of the i3-12100 and how it compares to 5600:

Single thread performance is most important for games.
I3-12100 cpu-Z bench which also shows 5600:

All I am saying is do some research.
New products need to be more cost effective or they will not sell. If you buy used, that is different.

Thank you very much for information and links

It would be a good idea to do an Intel build and an AMD build and compare.

What is your budget for the build?

Yes, the 12100 cpu is cheaper and runs a single core faster but when it comes to gaming the 5800x3d is a tough chip to beat.
You can upgrade to a 13000 series cpu on the same LGA 1700 socket used for Intel's 12th Gen but the 5800x3d is right there with the 13900k that costs far more.

So both the AM4 and the LGA 1700 socket are at their end of life. The best cpu for each socket is out now and comparison tests are available to review.

I wouldn't recommend any other cpu for general gaming other than the 5800x3d for an AMD build. Some games do perform better with high single core clocks but the majority do not.

One thing to add. My wife is in need on a PC and she is getting the 3800x rig in my signature. I'm building a new pc and did not purchase either of new sockets due to them being way out of my budget. I went with a 5800x3d and X570s motherboard. My gaming experince with the 3800x and x570 chipset has been fantastic. Looking forward to taking the 5800x3d for a spin.......

That's too expensive for me, because with that processor I can buy a whole computer where I live haha.
My budget is about 650 dollars, and in this I'm not including case, ram and storage because I have those things from my previous computer.

OK.

In your area I'd go with the cheapest build. If Intel is cheaper than look at them as well.

What ram do you have as it may or may not work with the new build. Is it DDR 4 and what speed is it? How many GB?

It's somewhat bad, Ramaxel 2x4 2400 Mhz, but I think it can do it's job while I get a new and better one.
