New build, need help

[DudeSheWasnt18]

Hi !

I plan to change my old DDR3 motherboard which have the IO ports burnt with a brand new B450M motherboard.

 

Here is what I want to buy :

 

MSI B450M mortar : https://www.amazon.fr/MSI-B450M-Mortar-Carte-Socket/dp/B07FNMLCTM/ref=sr_1_1?__mk_fr_FR=ÅMÅŽÕÑ&keywords=b450+mortar&qid=1571921279&sr=8-1

R5 3600X : https://www.amazon.fr/AMD-Ryzen-5-3600/dp/B07SQBFN2D/ref=sr_1_1?__mk_fr_FR=ÅMÅŽÕÑ&keywords=ryzen%2B3600x&qid=1571921312&sr=8-1&th=1

 

I already have DDR4, GPU, PSU and SSD

 

Is this a reliable configuration for 3D modeling and gaming ?

 

Thanks

Hello,

 

It's a good one but take a MAX version so they are Zen 2 ready (tomahawk max or a-pro max).

 

The 3600 would have been enough though the build will be good for that, what GPU and ram did you get ?

Thanks !

 

I'm building this PC on budget so i got a DDR4 Fury Hyper X 2400 MHz 2*8G and I will keep my GTX 960 4G OC until i get enought for a 2060 S  in a few months.

Good choice it will bump greatly compared to that 960 and 3D modeling loves cuda cores from Nvidia.

I can't imagine the gap between my 960 and a 2060 Super

 

Thanks for helping !

There is a Mortar MAX as well.

Go with the MAX one as mentioned. If you want mATX then that board has a MAX version.

 

https://www.amazon.fr/MSI-B450M-Mortar-Max-B450/dp/B07WC6LLB6/ref=dp_ob_image_ce

 

You can also claim a free game if you go with the 3600X. Either Borderlands 3 or The Outer Worlds.
