Unsure if I should buy?

[hellopo9]

Budget (including currency): £650

Country: UK

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Cyberpunk 2077

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): 

 

 

Hey, thanks for reading this in advance. My old PC finally died on me and I thought it's about time I upgrade to something more modern. However, I haven't paid too much attention to the market in the last 5 years. I'd like advice on whether I'm being an idiot somewhere or not (incompatible somewhere or one of the components is known to be terrible). I'll reuse my case, storage and I have a power supply already. I would of preferred a ryzen 3 and or a gtx 1660S but they're out of stock everywhere with no hope of being restocked soon.

Sapphire Radeon RX 5500 XT Pulse 8192MB GDDR6 PCI-Express Graphics Card : £218.99
AMD Ryzen 5 3600XT Six Core 4.5GHz (Socket AM4) Processor - Retail (100-100000281BOX): £239.99
Corsair Vengeance LPX Black 16GB (2x8GB) 3600 MHz AMD Ryzen Tuned DDR4 Memory Dual Kit £68.99
MSI B450 TOMAHAWK MAX (Socket AM4) DDR4 ATX Motherboard: £89.99

Thanks again.

I would drop to a 3600 non X and grab a 5600XT.

Thanks Wheresmehammer, but unfortunately I can't find any other cheaper Ryzen CPU available. The price difference for the available 5600XT GPUs is just under £100 and I'm not convinced that's worth it. I've looked on amazon Overclockers UK and PC world.

Thanks, but on amazon it says temporality out of stock for a lot of the parts. I assumed that would mean they wouldn't have it for ages.

Thanks again, I bought it. Hopefully it'll be alright. Got the other stuff from Overclockers as the delivery date was sooner.
