Hey Guys!

I will put togather a PC mainly for gaming. DOTA2, and a couple of new titles (FullHD). AMD for processor, Nvidia for GPU. I pretty much maxed out the limit for the project. I don't want an upgradable pc. I will put it together and leave it as it is, for the lets say next 5 yrs.

What do You think about the Config:

CPU: Ryzen 5 2600X (stock cooling, MAYBE SLIGHT OC).

Motherboard: MSI B450M MORTAR MAX (the micro ATX)

GPU: MSI GeForce GTX 1660 Ti 6GB ARMOR 6G OC

RAM: 16GB 3200MHz DDR4 RAM Kingston HyperX Predator CL16 (2X8GB)

Power suply: Chieftec 700W Eco Series (it says 85% efficiency)

SSD:500GB Kingston SSD M.2 NVMe A2000

HDD: 1TB Toshiba 3.5" P300

Case: Cooler Master MasterBox Q300L

Please bear in mind, that the prices and sale options in Hungary are very different, from the US. I am mainly interested in the components and how well they work together.

Thanks guys!

I wouldn't trust that power supply, especially if it's not rated bronze/gold. Any other options you have? Bear in mind 500w are enough for your system, and it's better to have a higher quality, lower capacity one than a high capacity, low quality psu.

Apart from that, the build looks good.

Yeah that was my problem as well. I have another PC with Chieftec PSU, running for 3 years almost 24/7. Without any problem. In Hungary "quality power supplies" are rare and quite expensive. Forx example The Corsair CX650 is double the price of this one, and as far as I know the CX is not their best.

But here is a link, maybe somebody finds a better one: https://aqua.hu/termekek/tapegyseg-85.html?filter=[stock=1||p=6|80_p_ Bronze||p=1|range-550-650]
