Finalizing a 3060Ti & Ryzen 5600X build

Budget (including currency): Originally planned with 265 EUR for Motherboard, RAM & PSU. 300 € would still be possible. In Edge cases 350 €.

Country: Germany

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Dual Boot Linux/Windows PC for Gaming & Office use cases. Some AAA single player games like Witcher III and in future Cyberpunk 2077 & multiplayer games that are not too power hungry like CS:GO, Stardew Valley, AoEII:Definitive Edition.

Overclocking: I will not overclock my system.

Existing Parts:

  • Case: NZXT H510
  • Storage: 970 Evo Plus 1 TB
  • CPU: AMD Ryzen R5 5600X
  • GPU: ASUS DUAL-RTX3060TI-O8G

Currently Planned Motherboard, PSU & RAM:

  • Motherboard: MSI X570-A PRO 
  • RAM: G. Skill Ripjaw V (F4-3600C19D-16GVRB)
  • PSU: Seasonic S12III 650 (SSR-650GB3)

I spotted some problems with the PSU & Motherboard that might be detrimental to my build.

  1. My Motherboard would need USB Gen 3.2 Type C for the front panel of my case. The MSI X570-A PRO is not able to provide this feature.
  2. The MSI X570-A PRO Motherboard has an additional 4-pin ATX power connector but the SeaSonic S12III does not. Will this cause any instablitiy for my build? 
  3. Because of the USB Type C Problem I looked at the ASUS PRIME X570-P as an alternative. But here the chipset cooler sits behind the graphics card, will this cause overheating or the chipset fan to overdrive?
  4. Additionally I heard of problems folks had with X570 and using and M.2 NVME as a boot drive. Is that a common issue or maybe just incompetence on their side?

 Would be great if you could help me out a bit here. Thanks a lot already!

I know a few people who have X570 boards and all of them have never had problems booting of NVMe

not great, if you can't find 3600c16, at least go for 3600c18, not 3600c19

just terrible for this kind of build. get a better psu, like a corsair txm or rm or rmx, a bitfenix whisper or if you want to stick to seasonic, a focus gold.

I would strongly reccomend going for a B550 motherboard and using the money saved to upgrade CPU/GPU

I'm in the same situation as @aosenkai. Nvidia just announced the Resizeable BAR support. Any idea if the B550 is going to support it and/or which B550 board you'd recommend?

Thanks. I was probably on the next-gen is best-gen mindset . Going by the LTT Tierlist something like a ROG STRIX B550-A, MSI B550-A PRO or Asus TUF Gaming B550M should do the job, right?

As for RAM. Currently I allocated 70 EUR for the 16GB. 100 EUR should be fine as well.
