White and black? Okay, try the Corsair MM300 or MM350

The prebuilt has the same 3600 and has a 1660 Ti instead of the 1650 super.

B-series would be around $30 less, not enough to get a 3600 instead of the 2600, and more storage would also go overbudget. That's why I'm asking about the prebuilt. Better CPU, GPU and Storage for the same cost.

It might sound like I'm totally being paid right now but I can assure you I'm not. In the case of hard pads, that's really the largest size. That's why I would probably go with something like the Razer Gigantus XXL for sheer size. You could put your keyboard, mouse, and every other desk accesory there.

Budget (including currency): $699 USD Country: US Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Sound Design, Games like Among us, Roblox, and Minecraft. Other details (existing parts lists, whether any peripherals are needed, what you're upgrading from, when you're going to buy, what resolution and refresh rate you want to play at, etc): Upgrading from a chromebook, he wants a device that can run most games at 60+ fps, and I'm helping him decide on parts as he knows nothing about computers.

Also, I would recommend getting an X570 board for that same price as it will provide better future proofing for your Ryzen CPU and also Graphics Card because of it's PCI-E 4.0 support.

For around $120, I would probably go with an Open box Prime X570-P, but if you don't trust it, an MSI X570-A Pro will work. On the higher end, around $140-160 you could go with a New X570-P, or for a more premium look, an ASUS TUF or TUF WIFI (open box) for around $160

Most likely, yes. It will definitely be functional, just might be slightly bottlenecked by the B450's PCI-E 2.0 support. I would suggest upgrading to a $120 B550 or X570 board to get the most performance. The X570 will also help future proof your system, and B550's don't have backwards compatibility, so you would need a new CPU if you decide you want a B550.

Right now is definitely not the time to buy or build. If you're going for a budget build, wait for another month and buy the 3070. It's 2x the preformance of the 2080 Ti for less than half the price. Not sure if you need it right now, if you do then just buy a 1650 super or 1660 super for like $100-200. Other than that, you could get a B550 Motherboard for the same price, and you don't really need that 3600 Mhz RAM, so save $10 and buy some 3200 Mhz.

Dude, the 3070 comes out in October.

Well the 3070 comes out in October and the price drops for the 20 series because of the 30 series releases haven't happened yet.

Wondering if waiting for the 3070 is worth it or should I upgrade now? I'm upgrading from a laptop to a PC I build. I have all of the other parts ready, and I'm wondering if waiting for the 3070 to come out and buy that or wait for price drops of the 20 series is worth it or should I buy now??

I've been waiting to buy a computer for months now, and so now that I've got the chance I need it as soon as possible.

Budget (including currency): 1100 USD$ Country: US Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Blender, Unreal engine, Light gaming. Other details (existing parts lists, whether any peripherals are needed, what you're upgrading from, when you're going to buy, what resolution and refresh rate you want to play at, etc): I have a 144Hz Gsync Monitor with HDR and peripherals. I'm upgrading from a laptop with a 1050 Ti and a 8th gen i5. Need the computer now as I'm selling my laptop.
