New rig / correct PSU?

[Spmshrdr]

Mainboard
MSI MPG X570 GAMING EDGE WIFI

CPU
AMD Ryzen 5 3600X boxed

RAM
G.Skill DIMM 16GB DDR4-3200 Kit, F4-3200C16D-16GVKB, Ripjaws V

GPU
SAPPHIRE Radeon RX 5600 XT PULSE OC

Case
Fractal Design Focus G White Window-Kit

PSU
Seasonic Focus GX-550W

Storage
Intenso Top Performance 1 TB, Solid State Drive schwarz, SATA 6 GB/s, 2,5"

 

Not familiar with PSU cable types, does the Seasonic GX-550 have all the necessary cables (MB ATX12V (24-Pin + 8-Pin + 4-Pin) ,GPU 1x 8-Pin (6+2)) for this rig?

 

Thanks in advance!

yes the psu is fine. i'd advise getting a different motherboard, an asrock or asus one, as the entry level x570 msi boards have bad vrms that overheat.

Yup, the PSU comes with all of that and more.

https://seasonic.com/focus-gx#cables (be sure to press the yellow dropdown and choose the 550W version, it defaults to the 1000W).

 

It's also a good PSU.

P.S. consider rebalancing the rig. In my opinion it doesn't make much sense to get a motherboard as expensive as your CPU, when you could spend that money towards a 5700 (non-XT).

If you want Ryzen 4000 support on your board, wait until next month for B550 to release, otherwise I would suggest a B450 board, like the Gaming Plus (MAX).

Yeah, I totally agree with what @boggy77 and @minibois - avoid that motherboard and maybe rebalance your build overall a bit.

Where are you from (country and currency)? What's your budget? What will you be using this PC for?

I assume you are buying in Germany or close to that as the item description says "schwarz". I quickly compiled a PCPP list with the components you listed and ended up with a price of 1053€. Here's a different build within that budget with faster ram, better NVMe m.2 SSD, 5700XT and a better motherboard.

Sorry if I'm totally wrong about location and budget (and for assuming in the first place )

[Spmshrdr]

Thanks for the tipps guys. For some reason i thought i would need a X570 to run the 3600X, swapped it for a B450 and threw in a 5700 with the money i saved. Im at ~1100€ now when adding the small stuff like extra cables i need, which is above my 1000€ limit but acceptable (tho dark red on the limit gauge).

 

Germany has been assumed correctly Will mostly run DCS on this rig (1080p), a bit of krita/paint.net drawing (big canvas, like 5000x10000px) and probably some occasional basic video editing. I never overclocked and guess i wont in the near future.

Ill probably get beaten for the PSU since its oversized (550w would be enough i guess), but im going "better safe than sorry" here. I assume the PSU itself is a quality one (reviews said so and 5 years warranty emphasize this i guess) and compatible cables wise?

 

Thanks in advance again for your help 07

Yes, and I think for a build below $2000, 80+ platinum is not worth the price increase. I'd aim for a 650 W 80+ Gold PSU.

 

Also, get the 3600; it's literally the same chip as the 3600X, just without a pinch of built-in overclocking (which you can do yourself at any time and save yourself a bit of money)
