New B550 Build Idea

[Purple_Llama5]

Budget (including currency): $1000

Country: USA

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Primarily gaming.... CS GO, Subnautica, Phantom Forces, and Minecraft. I might also do some light overclocking... 

Other details: I already have the monitor, I don’t know exactly the model but I do know that it is 165hz, 1ms, and 27”. I also have the keyboard, cherry mx blue. I would like to go with a white/black/blue theme...

The Pc is a tad overkill for those games, You could get away with a 3300x and a Rx 570/580 or a 1650. Do you intend on playing more demanding games in the future?

Remeber to tell me to not invite you to any game.

Instead of getting the ssd + hardrive I would just get this https://pcpartpicker.com/product/NzBTwP/team-gx2-1-tb-25-solid-state-drive-t253x2001t0c101  as it costs almost the same while getting most of the capacity.

Nothing it's just that I feel like you shouldn't willingly put hardrives in your system in 2020 when ssds cost almost the same unless you're on like a 400-500 dollar budget.

Also scratchy.

I would look up the PSU tier list on our forum and see if you find a better PSU!

What ? An SSD is nowhere near the same price as a HDD.
