It's still missing a power supply, not sure which one to pick to keep it under 600$. I wanted to replace the mobo with a asus b450 prime csm/a but my friend insists on this one. What's the difference between these two boards besides wifi to make the more expensive one worth it. Besides that, I'd just appreciate if someone would tell me what parts I could pick better for the price, because this clearly isn't a perfect list. Thanks!

600$

at that pricepoint i always tend to reccomend to throw some used parts in the mix.

a used 3600 goes for 160-190 here in austria

bundles with b450 mobos can be had staring at 220 ish

 

i don't know a thing about the slovenian used market tho

 

i would maybe switch that 256gb samsung for a 500gb crucial P2. more storage for the same price (even one € less here)

 

for a psu, best see the psu tier list in the psu subforum to choose one.

personally i wouldnt get anything below 80+ bronze

Thanks! Why the different case, does it have better airflow or just because it's cheaper?

Better airflow. Adding a second fan with help alot with temps aswell, but you have low end parts so it should be fine

I'll also look into used parts later, just need to get an idea of what I'm looking for atm. I already have 2 250gb ssds, so the 970 evo is for windows to be installed on it so it runs fast. I'll look at the psu subforum, thanks for the help!
