First build: 3060 ti and (maybe) 5600x? Can i cut some cost?

[mikkelvj]

Budget (including currency): 10500 dkk. or 1650 usd.

Country: Denmark

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Current and future AAA titles (qhd, 60+ fps, high settings). 

Other details 

I already bought the 3060 ti and it is the only that component i have.

Can i cut some cost without too much perfomance loss? And if so where? 

The motherboard must support wifi, and i would like it to be b550 for pcie - 4 and zen 3. However im not set and the cpu, so if you have any cheaper recommendations please let me know. And if so - any motherboard reccomendations? 

 

It is my first build, and i plan on buying as soon as the cpu is in stock (within a week). That is, if i choose to go with the 5600 x.  

Here is the list

Maybe go from a 5600x to a 5600

Maybe swap these things in. For $20 less, 3200MHz RAM is plenty for ryzen.

Also, consider waiting a month or two for AMD to release their Non-X Ryzen 5 5600 which should be about $50 cheaper.

Okay thanks. Your suggested motherboard is 178 USD in Denmark and the Edge Wifi is 220. Wifi is necessary for me, so i dont think that's going to be an option. But im going to switch the ram sticks then - thanks
