Good budget build?

[Victor Minasian]

Budget (including currency): $1200-1300 USD

Country: United States

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Minecraft, Palladins, 1080 or 4k video editing (Davinchi Resolve), skullgirls when I get it for pc

Other details (existing parts lists, whether any peripherals are needed, what you're upgrading from, when you're going to buy, what resolution and refresh rate you want to play at, etc): Here is my existing parts list: 

PCPartPicker Part List: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/cdYY9N

CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 3600X 3.8 GHz 6-Core Processor  ($239.99 @ Newegg) 
CPU Cooler: Noctua NH-U9DXi4 37.8 CFM CPU Cooler  ($60.99 @ Newegg) 
Motherboard: Gigabyte B550 AORUS PRO AC ATX AM4 Motherboard  ($183.99 @ Newegg)

Would you suggest anything different? I will be doing a demonstration, for a contest, on how to install CPU and ram on a motherboard so I will probably be taking the cpu and ram in and out of the motherboard a lot.

Get a 5600x, it is much better

It is much better in gaming, multi-tasking, almost anything

You should upgrade your RAM to at least 3200 or 3600. I know on Partpicker there is a ton of 3200 sticks at the same price that you're paying for the 3000 you currently are looking at. The 5600x is also a wise choice as the above gentlemen stated.

 

EDIT: Also, if you can't find a 5600x, for about $40 more, you might as well grab the 3700x instead. I know on Microcenter they're going for like $270 or so.

frankly there is not much to be gained from 3600 to 5600x an 5600x doesn't have a good availability yet 

imo get a better video card like a new amd rx card or rtx3070

It is better because it gives more performance for lesser power and you will not be wanting to upgrade for longer as it has excellent performance as of now. Also you have some budget left over it costs only $60 more and gives immense performance increase. It is great value. Also as GreatnessRD mentioned get faster ram because AMD cpus benefit a lot from faster ram.Those two changes will give you great increase in performance and will also not cost much.

The performance difference is a lot....... It is worth a few weeks wait or months... Well, it depends on how urgently the pc is required

This is my updated parts list. I went with a 5500 xt because it had more vram than a 5600 xt
