noticed some deal breakers.
-Where the fuck is the airflow. That front panel isn't mesh (unless im blind)
-That cable management lmao
-That PSU looks......not great. 

-single channel ram

-no overclocking support

 

It's not something I'd recommend because the upgrade path is just bad, when upgrading is one of Ryzen's strengths.

 

Used B450 board and ryzen 6 core CPU is a pretty good path.

Alright so since i'm buying a new PC soon, everyday I check the black friday sales after all my work is done. Was on newegg today and saw this. https://www.newegg.com/skytech-st-blaze-ii-2600-1650-8g3-500g/p/1VK-005B-000H6?Description=gaming pc&cm_re=gaming_pc-_-1VK-005B-000H6-_-Product


$550 for a 2600 and a 1650? Not terrible TBH.
So I went into PCP and put this sloppy list together. 

Not a horrible value. After that I took a look at the PC and noticed some deal breakers.
-Where the fuck is the airflow. That front panel isn't mesh (unless im blind)
-That cable management lmao
-That PSU looks......not great. 

Is there something i'm not noticing? Is this PC actually amazing and i'm dumb?

the PC looks fine, i would see if you could get a little better ram, perhaps 3200c16 or 15, it will cost more, but save you money down the line if you want a second stick

AMD blackout rig

 

cpu: ryzen 5 3600 @4.4ghz @1.35v

gpu: rx5700xt 2200mhz

ram: vengeance lpx c15 3200mhz

mobo: gigabyte b550 auros pro 

psu: cooler master mwe 650w

case: masterbox mbx520

fans:Noctua industrial 3000rpm x6

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

 

Primary PC:

i7 8086k - EVGA Z370 Classified K - G.Skill Trident Z RGB - WD SN750 - Jedi Order Titan Xp - Hyper 212 Black (with RGB Riing flair) - EVGA G3 650W - dual booting Windows 11 and Fedora Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me.

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

 

PSU tier list

How many watts do I need?

Yeah. Think this one is a skip.
