The LTT staff usually don't comment on posted threads, but there's lots of nice forum members who will help.

I'd go with a 5600X, a decent B550 board, 16GB of 3600 CL16 RAM, and a 3060 Ti if you can find one for MSRP for core components.
Not sure about power supply, storage, case, cooling, etc.

If your buying now, then used parts or buying a prebuilt is the way too go.

if you buying in a couple months, then building is a great option.

Yep I agree. Getting a GPU for the right price is hard at the moment, I would suggest getting something like a 970 or 1060 on ebay as a placeholder, and getting something better when they become more avainable and selling the old card on.

At that kind of budget, a 1tb nvme drive like the kingston a2000 or crucial p1 are good options.

I would entierly reccomend a cooler, I have a hyper 212 RGB on my r5 2600 and it doesnt get over 38c.

If a 5600x pushes the budget a bit, as they are kinda hard to get, then a 3600x is still a good choice.

A good 500w PSU is a must

As for cases, it really depends on preferance. I have a corsair 220t and its amazing, although you do have to watch that your GPU is >280mm in a small form factor case

Your best bet is to get second hand RAM on ebay, and maybe a 3600x if youre looking to save some money. If you get a new GPU at retail then awesome but second hand GPUs arnt a bad idea.

Don’t. The case isn’t that great and the PSU isn’t good.

I have the 220t myself, and its amazing, and the 275r isnt that much differant, appart from it allows for bigger cards.

The PSU is a 500w gold? Whats wrong with that?

The 275R is an okay but there are cases such as the P400A D, which are similar and price, but the P400A D is much better overall.

Also just because a PSU is 80+ Gold doesn't make it a good PSU, that makes it have good efficiency. The quality of the PSU itself can still be bad.
For example, the EVGA GD is 80+ Gold, but that's still a medicore PSU.

Also i'm not sure if 500W is enough. It's below the recommended PSU for a 3060ti
