Hello! Last month I've started thinking about building new PC and after some time I think I got the perfect combination, BUT I am unsure about the CPU choice. Should I take Ryzen 5 2600 instead? Also I plan to expand to 2 monitors in the next few years. Help will be appreciated, thx.

currently the ASRock B450M/AC is much cheaper

the GTX 1650 super has the same performance, buy the cheaper of the two

 

Also, don't build a PC without an SSD, you'll regret it.

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

 

Primary PC:

i7 8086k - EVGA Z370 Classified K - G.Skill Trident Z RGB - WD SN750 - Jedi Order Titan Xp - Hyper 212 Black (with RGB Riing flair) - EVGA G3 650W - dual booting Windows 10 and Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me.

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

 

How many watts do I need? ATX 3.0 & PCIe 5.0 spec, PSU misconceptions, protections explained, group reg is bad

Also swap the HDD to an SSD or at least a decent WD Blue model. The Seagate Barracuda is meh

The 1650 is notably slower and only as fast as a 570. The 580 is about 15-20% faster than a 1650

Can you find a 5500xt near that price range? i think it is close to that price with practically a small bump in performance. Plus, that GDDR6 can help a lot.

Yes, you should go for a ryzen 5 2600. The 1600x uses zen, while the the 2600 uses zen+. The 2600 has 12nm chips that are faster and more power efficient then 14nm ones on the 1600x. the 2600 is better in every way, and its $119 on amazon rn. 

CPU: I5 3740 @3.2GHz || GPU: GT 1030 || KEYBOARD+MOUSE: Redragon S101 combo || MONITOR: HP 22cwa || (its a potato pc)

hence my recommendation of the super. Although I believe the 1650 falls behind the RX 570.

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B
