Cpu: ryzen 5 5600x
Board : Probably asus x570 gaming e or a gigabyte aorus elite,depends which one is available
Ram: 16gb ddr4
Ssd: samsung 970 evo 1tb and Toshiba HDD 2tb
Gpu: rtx3060
Case: He is still looking into some corsair cases and asus ones,anyhow it will be Atx format.
Edit: those 2 psus are the only decent available in our country atm,maybe he doesnt need 700 watts but other psus are just terrible here.

What other units do you have access to? A link to your regional PC store would help us two fold.

Some other brands include the likes of:Ig max,zeus,lc power etc.There is coler master too but thats a bit expensive.Thing is he made his choice zo pick one of the 2 i mentioned,i think maybe evga is better,what do you think?

If you're asking my opinion, I'd look into a better quality unit.

I think the Be Quiet one is better, EVGA is more of a lower end one.

If you can, buy a Corsair PSU, they are the most reliable.

Both double forward + DC-DC, but the System Power 9 is 230v only so cheaped out on the input. Out of these two I would choose the EVGA but it isn't impressive either for a new system with RTX 3060.

The cheapest I recommand is https://www.uspon.rs/artikal/asus-tuf-gaming-750b-750w-napajanje folowed by https://www.uspon.rs/artikal/napajanje-chieftec-pps-650fc-650w

I would go with corsair if there were any,the evga ones available arent really the best.The asus one you recommemded im considering actually,but ive heard some good and some not so good things about it so im still unsure.

The only not so good thing about the Asus is the fan noise. Up to 250w the fan doesn't turn but after that hell brake loose with 1500 rpm and at least 35dB. The Chieftec Polaris isn't much more quiet either. Efficiency of the Asus is almost meeting Gold btw. Look here for a test report.

The Asus 0db fan only stops at @ 30% TDP. So less than @ 250w. Which is during idle/low use periods. Otherwise it spins. It's upside down, under the bottom of the pc. If you can realistically hear that fan over the noise produced by the intake fans, cpu cooler, gpu fans, you got better differential hearing than me. 🤣
