Can't the CPU only support RAM speeds up to 5200? Also, I want the water cooler for its aesthetic and quality. But, I was planning on an RTX 4060 I just forgot to update the list. I know that AMD graphics cards are priced better but I've had the RX 5600 XT for years and I've had several issues with the driver. I just want the stability that a huge company like NVIDIA can provide.

Location/Budget: USA; $1000 Purpose: Running Fortnite, video editing, and word processing. Monitors: 1920x1080 144hz 24" (horizontal) & 1920x1080 60hz 24" (vertical to the left); May replace the 60hz monitor with the 144hz and get a new 240hz. Why am I upgrading?: I'm selling my old PC (https://pcpartpicker.com/list/9kyXJy) to my roommate and using the money to build a new one. Is this a balanced build? I want to be able to run Fortnite on competitive settings at a stable framerate of 144hz with the possibility of 240hz. Parts list: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/Xsgwyg

Will this run Premiere Pro for 1080p editing well?

Yeah there's nothing wrong with used, my friend insists on using this free editing software he found which probably doesn't take much advantage of cuda cores. I'll let you know what software.

I put together this list for my friend. He wants to build a pc that can edit in 1080p and 4k smoothly with as little money as possible. He doesn't really care for gaming on a pc but I really don't want him using on-board graphics because I want to get him into pc gaming. Please give me adjustments to the build to meet these requirements as well as your thoughts.

Alright so I think im just going to get the gpu now, then the monitor, then cpu in that order. does that make sense?

CPU: Ryzen 5 3600 GPU: RX 5600XT Motherboard: B550-A Pro RAM: 32GB of 3600MHz @CL18 Storage: 500GB of NVME SSD & 1TB 7200RPM HDD Case: NZXT H500i I think thats enough info lol psu is 650W 80+ bronz btw

So what do you suggest I do?: Not get a new GPU; get a new GPU and CPU (if so which CPU budget wise); upgrade my monitor instead (currently rocking a 5600xt which gets me pretty good fps however I often have large drops in areas full of lots of players in fortnite).

1920 x 1080

1920 x 1080 60Hz (planning on upgrading to high refresh rate) @24" Games in order from most played: Fortnite ; Minecraft ; Garry's Mod ; CSGO

I am planning on possibly getting an RTX 3070 (if i even can lol) and I was wondering if my Ryzen 5 3600 would be bottlenecking my FPS in games when playing with the 3070. Thanks!

Probably like a max budget of $300. This pc is mainly for my adobe photoshop and illustrator class but I would also like to do some gaming. I just want to be able to run 1080p games at medium to low settings with frame rates over 120. Is that possible for my budget?

I made a parts list but can't decide on a GPU. Please critique my build so far and help me find a good budget ranged GPU to complete it. https://pcpartpicker.com/list/39n8TJ
