Hey, there.
I'm planning to build a setup with a max budget of $750* (can be made flexible if some parts are hard to get and/or expensive at most retailers) and I wanted to get the community's views about this whole thing. Aside from getting a first-hand experience at building a PC, the main goal is to get a setup that performs well with games that are normally taxing on frames without skimping too much on graphics or overclocking issues with the MOBO.
Currently, the setup is to include:
CPU: AMD Ryzen 3 3100 3.6 GHz Quad-Core Processor
Motherboard: Asus PRIME B450M-A/CSM Micro ATX AM4 Motherboard
RAM: G.Skill Ripjaws V Series 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR4-3200 CL16 Memory
SSD: Crucial P2 500 GB M.2-2280 NVME Solid State Drive
Graphics Card: Gigabyte GeForce RTX 2060 6 GB WINDFORCE Video Card (Very much subject to change and alternatives, this has been a pain in the dick)
Case: Cooler Master MasterBox MB311L ARGB MicroATX Mid Tower Case (Debating on getting a back fan or just leaving it as is)
PSU: Corsair CV 550 W 80+ Bronze Certified ATX Power Supply
OS: Windows 10 (Might just knock this out since there's the USB booting option)
List on PCPartMaker (As of 01/07/2021, the combined price excluding the graphics card is $626.16)
By all means, I am open to any input to this. Thanks for reading!
*Unfortunately, this list was made before COVID-19 basically rose the price of most of the components (Haha, fuck you, graphics card)*
