I'm doing a build for a friend. I'm waiting to order parts until after ces because I'm hoping to see cpu and gpu prices fall a bit after we see new announcements but for the next 40 or so hours the motherboard is $40 off so if you think I'll save more bu not waiting let me know. I'm hoping to cut the cost a but. As of now I'm looking at just over $770 even though I was targeting 600. If possible I'd really like to get the cost below 700 dollars and im not opposed to getting a used cpu and gpu.

The build will be in this off brand Amazon case

As of now I'm thinking to use a core i3 10100, 16 gigs ddr4 crucial ballistics 3200, these amazon rgb fans, an adata 480 gig SATA ssd, an asrock z490 pro, a gtx 1660, and evga 650 n1

Budget ($600-700): 

Country: us

Games: Minecraft with mods, the forest, rust, apex, and some others.

I will recommend an NHu12s (or an NHd15 (maybe)) for your PC build. Quote or @ me @Prodigy_Smit for me to see your replies.

I talked to the friend and he decided to up the budget. We went with a ryzen 5 3600, a gigabyte a520i, (last minute opted for the 10100 and a msi b450m pro), evga 650 n1, crucial balistix 3200, and an adata su635. We will pick up the gpu when possible.

Are you sure you got it right? That MSI B450M Pro is an AMD socket board, while the i3-10100 is an intel processor.

The adata su635 is a dramless ssd, will affect endurance of the ssd
