I am newbie and I am building my first ever gaming PC (on a very tight budget)

Ujee

This is all that my budget allows:

1) ZOTAC Gaming GeForce RTX 2060 6GB GDDR6 ZT-T20600H-10M

2)  Ryzen 5 3600

3) ASUS Prime B450M-A

4) G.SKILL FBA4719692004970 (2 x 8GB)

5) Kingston 250GB A2000

6) Seagate BarraCuda 1 TB

7) Corsair Carbide SPEC-05

 

Help me choose a good PSU for the specs

 

PS: Also, if there is a better choice that I could have made (within the budget) then please let me know.

 

I am from India and my budget is of $1300-1500

Corsair CXM 650W or 550W. Great PSU for around $100. If you have a higher budget go with the coolermaster MWE GOLD 650, and if you have a lower budget go with the Corsair CV.

If your budget's too tight for those cards, I'd look for an RTX A6000 instead.

Laptop: 2018 Apple MacBook Pro 13"  --  i5-8259U | 8GB LPDDR3 | 512GB NVMe

Peripherals: Leopold FC660C w/ Topre Silent 45g | Logitech MX Master 3 & Razer Basilisk X HyperSpeed | HIFIMAN HE400se & iFi ZEN DAC | Audio-Technica AT2020USB+

Display: Gigabyte G34WQC

Having 1000€ doesn't make you rich in most countries.

It does in other countries.

 

To answer your question, wait for benchmarks, neither card has any available stock at this time, the 6900 doesn't even have benchmarks

What to go for- Rx 6900 xt or RTX 3090?

Despite what NVIDIAMD would have you believe, there are actually not that many people in the world who actually need a GPU that powerful. Outside of the professional environment, anyway. If you're not rich, either roll with that 2060 or pick up a cheap 480/580 and wait for the inevitable 6500, 6600, 1760 (?) and 3060, then see which one works for you.

maybe if you have a low budget you should go with intel

like a 10400f, 2666 rto and a cheap h410 mb

if you go for that trio you'll have more money for a strong gpu and psu

First of all @Ujee I would appreciate if you could tell us (the whole community), that would this PC be used only for gaming or for some real world tasks as well like Blender, Programming or Video Editing or anything else you do (other than normal stuff like using web browser, you know what I mean)
 

 And second of all, I would like to suggest that you visit r/Indian Gaming, as a fellow Indian I would like to tell you that at that sub-reddit you can find list of online Indian retailers that have parts for prices cheaper than Amazon and Flipkart
 

And, with a 1300-1500 USD budget (I know how many INRs it is) you can get rid of the spinning storage and go entirely with SSDs. Even the most basic of SSDs will be better than a spinning Hard Drive

And to maintain future compatibility I would suggest going with the B550M Pro4 from AsRock which will support ryzen 5000 series, if you ever upgrade and it costs like 11k INR only

 

You can get, better RAM from corsair for cheaper than that. The RAM that you have mentioned is also good i.e. 3200 MHz, but you can get 3600 MHz kits from Corsair that have good latency

 

Finally for the GPU, I would say unless you are like really into games that make use of DXR, get a 5600XT. It fits your budget much better. And if you want a GPU that supports ray tracing then wait for the new cards to launch, that will further lower the price of the current GPUs like 5 to 6k INR lower and then you can get this GPU for cheaper or you can get the new ones if you can afford them. For the Time being if you don't need RTX, 5600XT is good for your budget

Then you can with a ryzen 3 3100 instead of a 3600 and easily go with a 2060 super or even a cheap 2070 if you can find one
