Budget (including currency): $300

Country: United States

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: 

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): 


I already have a system but an rebuilding it and am reusing some parts I’ve already replaced and some cheap new ones for a system for my mother (not for games, just needs it for Microsoft Office, Browsing the web, and Zoom).

 

I already have the rest of the parts I’d need to order in PCPartPicker but was wondering about where I could get a 5600X and if it’s possible to get it here in 2 weeks since I can’t find it anywhere and I’d really like to replace my 2600X.

 

My current PC has an R5 2600X, Nvidia RTX 2060, Corsair Vengeance 2993MHz (OC to 3200MHz), Corsair H100i (AIO), Corsair LL120MM, Corsair LL140MM (x3), Corsair ML120MM (x2), Gigabyte Airbus B450, EVGA 600W 85+, NZXT H500.

 

I’m planning to get a Nvidia 710GT unless there’s cheaper options for GPUs (that aren’t exposed and look bad), 5600X, Corsair 4000D (case), Corsair CV 450 W 80+ Bronze, Kingston A400 (480GB SATA SSD), Gigabyte B450M, I already have an extra Cooler Master Hyper 212 cooler with a fan already on it, 2x8GB 16GB 2666MHz Corsair Vengeance RAM, and two extra case fans (120MM) from my NZXT H500 that I had left over.

 

I’d be spending about less than $600 while upgrading my PC and building my mother a new one. 
 

I also didn’t include any peripherals since I have an extra mic, keyboard, mouse, mousepad and would just have to order a monitor and webcam which I’ve already decided on. (and I’m just hoping for a sale on Black Friday/Cyber Monday)

Standard move would be to order one from one of the big stores like Newegg or b&h or whatnot.  The two weeks I can’t help you with.  The mail is the mail these days.  PcPartPicker.com can sometimes tell you who carries what for how much and whether it is in stock or not.

Not a pro, not even very good.  I’m just old and have time currently.  Assuming I know a lot about computers can be a mistake.

 

Life is like a bowl of chocolates: there are all these little crinkly paper cups everywhere.
