 My cousin wants to build a pc,  I have gathered suitable parts for a $1500 Ryzen build. Only thing is I need to find a good gpu, for the 600$ left. The only 30 series cards available are expensive and over $1000. Even finding 20 series (2060, 2070) is still expensive, and since I am amd no iigpu, so I cant by the gpu later. I was looking a the intel i5 10400 and it only cost 250$ with igpu, is intel worth it?

This is good, but to build it would require half a dozen payments to different companies and accounts and shipping. It needs to be done with 1 company. Whether it be umart pccasegear etc. At most 2.

You can even swap the GPU with a 3060ti if you can spend a tad bit more...

Or you can even wait for the RTX 3060.

Like I mentioned to to other person. This is a good build but you have to buy the parts from half a dozen stores and shipping and payments. Its a hassle. The max stores to buy from would be 2. That's why I was stuck.

The thing is, you have to source parts from the sites where they are cheaper. Ordering from multiple sources is a hassle but it's sure worth it when you can save a couple of bucks. That's actually how you buy PC parts on a budget.
