How are my specs?

[simonju]

Hello!

 

I am planning on building this pc soon and I am not sure if i have the right specs for it so i went here to check, to fit my budget i am planning on buying a used (2 month old) graphics card so i can spend more money on other things.

 

Specs:

 

CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 3600

GPU: Asus RTX 2060 6GB Dual

Memory: Corsair 16GB (2x8gb) 3200 mhz

Motherboard: Rog strix b450-f

Power: Corsair RM750x

 

Thanks for your replies! ;)

Straight off the bat, I think the PSU is way overkill for these specs. I'd suggest a 500-550W PSU at the very most.

Did you check if the motherboard supported zen2 cpus right out of the box? If not, you may want to consider an MSI board instead like the Max ones

According to this page, this motherboard has come with the required bios update installed since September.

Yes it does.

I choose a 750 watt psu because I was thinking maybe if i wanted to upgrade my other specs in the future? Maybe thats just a really dumb idea, im not really sure.

B450 Strix is compatible with Ryzen 3000 unless it is a very old card.

My dream PC (that hopefully I will be able to afford one day) has a 3700X and an MSI Gaming X Trio RTX 2070 Super. PCPartPicker estimates the whole thing (including the RGB AIO cooler & RGB Fans) will draw 404 watts.

 

So unless you plan on upgrading your build with an RTX *insert series here* TI and a *insert series here*950X anytime soon then I think a 750w PSU is overkill for your needs.
