1) The R3 1200 already comes with the Wraith Stealth cooler that probably performs similarly to the one you have selected. 2) If memory serves me correctly, the cheaper Gigabyte B350 boards did not have very good support for high clocked memory. However, I would check google to see if this has improved with time. 3) The Kingston A400 is a DRAM-less SSD. If you care about SSD speed you may want to find another SSD. There is also a Tech Quickie on this topic. Other than that looks good

If you were able to boot using your integrated graphics then the issue most likely lies with the RTX 2060. Since your computer will automatically switch from integrated graphics to your RTX 2060 upon opening a demanding application (you can see the list of applications in the GeForce control panel) this is likely what is causing your issue. If your computer continues to work using your IGPU, then RMA your RTX 2060 if it is still within warranty. Also keep in mind that many credit/debit cards offer a free extended one year warranty if the purchase was made with the card.

Yes it will work, but it seems that it may be a better option to try and buy a B450 motherboard that comes with BIOS support for Ryzen 3000. Also, it makes little sense to buy the 3600x considering it is just an overclocked 3600 with a better box cooler.

Your best bet is to test each part individually to isolate the point of failure. Based on your explanation I would check the RTX 2060 or the SSD before the other components. The first thing I would try would be to create a bootable USB OS stick to try and see if the issue is caused by your SSD. If that fails I would unplug your RTX 2060, and reinstall windows once again. It seems plausible that installing the GeForce drivers (which thereby switched the driver from the generic Windows driver) may have also caused your issue.

I would very strongly recommend buying the 2200g instead of the 200GE. The 2200g is only ~35 pounds more and is a true 4 core processor that is overclockable and has over double the IGPU performance. Considering the fact that applications are leveraging more and more cores nowadays, it will likely only be a few years before the 220GE is dead in the water.

1) I would go with the 5700XT over the 2070 Super. Both cards have approximately the same performance, yet the 5700XT is around 100 USD cheaper. Source 2) What resolution/refresh rate are you playing at? At lower resolutions (1080p) the 6600k is starting to show its age in newer games and can cause jarring frame spikes in games such as Battlefield V. I would also recommend purchasing a 1440p 144z monitor to fully leverage your gpu.

Edit: Went with a AMD 2200G as it offers a built in gpu so you don't have to use your graphics card while doing simple tasks. There is very little performance difference when using an OC'ed 2200G vs 8100 (especially when using low/midrange GPU's in games or at 1440p+). Changed motherboard to a much better performance motherboard which is currently an insane deal (I know Actually Hardcore Overclocking has said this motherboard has very good components at $100) Changed Ram to faster speed/cheaper Changed to a cheaper SATA boot drive. You could keep the old drive, but you probably won't notice any difference. Switched to a 2TB HDD Switched to a Full ATX Case to Support Motherboard Also you could buy a used GPU and try and wait for the new midrange gpu's (hopefully) this late autumn.

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/CWkJw6 Try this and whatever GPU you can find. I personally was able to get a used 2GB EVGA GTX 770 for 75 USD on ebay.

Here's an action with over 1 day left currently at $355. Due to the current ethereum mining craze, I think that you could get $400 for your card. I would recommend that you try and sell it fast though, as I personally believe that cryptocurrency prices peaked and are on the decline.

Its interesting to think that Intel's enthusiast chips are basically "cut-apart" Xeon's. I can smell Intel's fear over the internet.

X370 motherboards really don't offer much more value than B350 motherboards do considering their price, so I would get a B350 motherboard, and use the money you saved to get a R5 1600 instead.

At the moment it is next to impossible to buy midrange graphics cards at reasonable prices thanks to cryptocurrency mining. If I were you, I would have your friend wait another month before buying parts (I personally think that the cryptocurrency market is on its way down for a while). Furthermore, unless your friend is doing tasks other than gaming which require more than 4 cores, I would wait before upgrading your cpu, as the 3470 is still a very capable cpu.

As long as the building you live in has relatively new electrical circuitry, you could also consider a powerline adapter . I personally use this and it works great for me. It only adds 4ms latency compared to being plugged in directly to my router, and it provides a much more stable connection than wifi does.

I would also be cautious of the included power supply if you would want to overclock

If you want to buy new, I would recommend that you get the EVGA 1050. It performs considerably better than the 750ti and is available for $110 (just make sure to select amazon on the other sellers tab on the right hand side)
