Huh, the link is not working for me, might be an issue on my end.

Link doesn't work for me either, asks me to log in.

You could try marking the build as complete and giving us your username

You need to post the bb markup.

I am sorry for that, I will attach a picture.

RAM is too slow for that Ryzen. Get at least 3200 MHz.
And I would recommend getting two sticks of the same RAM instead of two different brands.

Thanks, That's the RAM I am using right now so I was considering keeping it. I will buy 2x8 GB 3200mhz CAS 16

Im a little behind on my chipset info, but doesn't that motherboard need a bios update to run that cpu? Also, $25 on an ssd would make the system feel muuuch snappier.

 

[bignastyid]

Beside the ram issue mentioned above, that motherboard requires a bios update to work with a 3000 series cpu and get a better quality PSU.
What's your budget for the build?

 

[jerryJirenLucifer]

I will post the store from where I am getting the parts: http://extremetechcr.com/

The budget is 640.000 CRC at best, probably less than that, which is around 1200$. The price differences may vary a lot due to conversion, so a 20$ difference on your side might be 40$ or more here in Costa Rica.


What kind of PSU could I get that doesn't destroy my budget? I might be upgrading to an AMD 6xxx Series if the ever come out, but that's not for sure.

It would be awesome if you guys could give a quick check on that page since that's basically the only source for tech here in my country, buying parts from the USA won't be cheaper for me.

Currently, I own:
Ryzen 3 2200G
AMD Rx 570 4GB
16GB RAM 2x8GB
MOBO Gigabyte A320M-S2H

If the new MOBO I want needs a BIOS update, what are the chances that the seller will do that for me?

Can I use that R 3 2200G to do it myself?

You need to buy SSD, otherwise everything is pointless.

Tried to leave ~$200 to account for price differences. The motherboard may require you to use your 2200g to update the bios for the 3600. Also in all honesty it maybe a good idea to hold off for awhile as prices and supply are currently bad due to the issues caused by Covid.

bad decision, Be Quiet 9 or 11 or Super Flower Leadex Silver 550W, or any of Corsair PSU but not CX550 exactly

You must be thinking of the older CX units, the newer CX series are decent units.

New is good? I mean, not like 1-2 but whole batch? If it's so, I am glad for Corsair, but still can't believe they would change ... need to check hm

Updated to a newer much better dc-dc platform in 2017. The CX450, 550 and 650 are the units with the updated platform.

Aight, in 2016 I had a lot of questions to it, maybe should give it a chance, but anyway I hafta look at it if it's better than Be Quiet PP 11, cause CX550 is not really cheap right now and maybe it's better to like, throw a bit more money for best choice

The CX550M is a reliable budget psu and an ssd can always be added later as "budget" allows, it doesn't make the build pointless just adds load time.

In the US right now a 500w Be quiet PP11 is $180, almost $100 more than the CX550. The 550w Straight power is cheaper at $120 but is currently pre order.

0_0, for me it's almost the same value, LMAO, wow weird, then Be quiet SP 9 maybe, but build is a bit strange anyway ...

OP said they are in Costa Rica. PCPP doesn't have it as an option an I know of no online stores there,

Adding 120 GB SSD for Windows later and installing/setting up everything again - is not really interesting occupation. He might go for it, cause some of components in the list is really overprice. Actually better ask OP what he needs to play or kinda, cause I don't understand is he gonna play only VALORANT or something, or everything new

yeah I noticed sorry, but whatever. I will never understand prices and his build, your build is best solution I presume, just found out now is CX550 is fine ... but in Russia I can't still trust them, need some of my friends to buy and take a look.

SeaSonic FOCUS 650 W 80+ Platinum Certified Fully Modular ATX Power Supply is $124.99 https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1505898-REG/seasonic_electronics_focus_px_650_650w_80.html is the PSU choice has to be lower cost wise than that PSU.

5600XT is the best GPU, it just gets more expensive.

Best graphics cards at a glance:

1. RTX 2080 Ti
2. RTX 2080 Super
3. RTX 2070 Super
4. RX 5700 XT
5. RTX 2060 Super
6. RX 5700
7. RTX 2060
8. RX 5600 XT
9. GTX 1660 Super
10. GTX 1650 Super

The 3600 can be replaced with a Intel Core i5-9600K but the 9600k has no cooler making it more expensive. 3600 has a cooler.

The issue with the Gigabyte B450M DS3H Micro ATX AM4 Motherboard. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet...qVxdCR9daIVNyMatydkpFA/htmlview#gid=639584818 Motherboard should do a stock 3700x/3800x but the VRMs are going to need air flow for an OC. A 3600 is fine in the spreadsheet.

I think bignastyid is as cheap as you want to go. You can get super cheap PSU but they are a roll of the dice.
