ditching the cooler and reducing the PSU to 650 watts will give you enough room for a 2060, or an RX 5700.

TheGreatSora · August 19, 2019

i'd say go for a 650 watt PSU and get ur self a mechanical hard drive as games these days are too big and 500gb is not enough

intelisfornoobs · August 19, 2019

@TheGreatSora @fasauceome

Totally agree. Would use a low capacity SSD for boot tho.

How about a Kingston A400 120 GB M.2-2280 Solid State Drive for $27.48 boot and a

Seagate FireCuda 1 TB 2.5" 5400RPM Hybrid Internal Hard Drive at $59.89 for steam library

astranger200 · August 20, 2019

cut the cooler, go a 550-650w psu and get a 5700-5700xt

Yes, I looked at this before and got it wrong, the RX 5700 it is a lot better. Is $100 extra worth it tho?

The display I chose is freesync tho so...

This part list is significantly better price/performance. than the other. though...Keeping PRICE/PERF in mind

Just please get a cheaper motherboard......absolutely ridiculous buying a 200$ board for a $200 cpu.

3600 if you can OC. 3600x if you can't

Scythe or Noctua Heatsink(obviously this upgrade can wait. if traveling/moving the tower often, possibly look at AiOs)

x470 MSI Gaming Plus

PSUs Check JohnnyGuru/AnandTech/etc... OR even the LTT forums PSU tier list.

Make sure RAM is B-die and rated at least 3200(wanna OC to 3600/3800). RAM matters more for Ryzen.(dRAM calcluator)

Inland NVME 1TB near $110

UFD Tech is now on Floatplane...and they are sometimes sponsored by https://www.scdkey.com/microsoft-windows-10-pro-oem-cd-key-global_1227-20.html $18 for win10 (I HAVE NOT USED THEM PERSONALLY.....yet....)
