Power supply fried motherboard & cpu

[jaymeis1]

Power supply went faulty after 4 years and fried my motherboard and cpu

 

Need help with buying a good cpu motherboard and power supply on au pcpartpicker

 

Spending 500-700aud or more if necessary

Also might buy a graphics card but dont add it to the budget just want recommendations like thinking of a 1660 or 1060 etc.

 

Also for the cpu was looking at the i5 9400f and 9400 are they good value?

 

Thanks everything is in AUD and looking for aussie stores

 

As many recommendations help a lot so suggest as much as possible

Is your RAM DDR3 or DDR4?

Ryzen is the best valuefor CPUs for now.

Maybe look for a used RX 470/480/570/580 long as it has 2 fans it should be fine, 8GBs is naturally nicer to have. They're only 15-10% behind the 1660 for a decently lower price.

(Australia) Need help buying a new psu, cpu and motherboard

 

The ram I have is HyperX Fury DDR4-2133

 

I was looking at the I5-9400f it is great value  Could my ram work with it? And do I have to buy a older motherboard or do newer ones still work with my ram

 

Spending 400-600 aud on psu motherboard and cpu

Plus a seperate 200-350aud for a GPU

 

I appreciate all build suggestions. Thanks

The 9400F is poor value. The Ryzen 5 3600 absolutely annihilates it in everything. Grab a 3600, an ASRock B450 Pro4, aN Arctic Freezer eSports 34, a Corsair RMx 550W or Be Quiet Straight Power 11 Gold 500W and you're set

Ryzen 3600. Asrock B450 pro 4 for cheaper you can go the M (ITX) version. Corsair CX 2017 550W

If you have the budget, go for the 3600 ... if not, you can save around 50$ by going with 2600 which is still decent enough.
