I would change alot of things there. There is a global GPU shortage atm (and your paying $575 for a $150 GPU)

I would like too note the GPU choice. I went with a Used GTX 1080ti because of the new GPU market is a joke. If you do find a decent deal then you can get a 1080ti for $500 on ebay

Now if you are doing mostly multithreaded work then go with a 3700x.

Sorry to say but you paid way too much for your gpu the max price i would give for this gpu is 175$. You could buy better gpu for this price.

Hello there

I'm new in all this Pc stuff, and I want to built my first Pc. So I have some questions, It is the Ryzen 7 3700x compatible with the ASUS Prime B350 M-a or is better to go with B450 motherboards?  And I lookin for gpu, is better a Radeon rx5500 xt or a nvidia 1660 super (the price on a 1660 is a little higher in this times). And some extra info I'm from some place of the world that is not very easy to find good gpu

The CPU will suffer with those boards. Go with a MSI B550-A Pro, or an ASRock B550 Pro4.

As for GPU, I personally, would not suggest pairing the 5500XT with a 3700X. Try your best to get a decent price on a 1660 super, or a 3060Ti.

 

I do suggest making a new thread and filling out all the information needed (budget, specific location, workloads/games it'll be used for, etc.). Once you make that, I can whip up a pcpartpicker list for you.
