build Help Building a computer

[Adriel_A.]

Recently my parents told me I have a budget of $1500 USD before tax to spend buying a new computer.  I have now been researching for about four days now and think I have a pretty good list of compatible parts, Figured here would be a good place to check and maybe do some final swaps in my selection. (Here's the list)

Since the 5600x is way over MSRP, I'd recommend the 11600K and a MSI Z590 A Pro. Other than that, looks good. Although I'd really recommend going used for the graphics card because that is 3x the regular price.

the gpu is overpriced for what it is

and the motherboard is way overpriced considering the rest of the specs , get a cheaper board that's more in line with the lower end parts of the rest of the build.

i wouldnt buy this build personally

 

case: it's ok, a bit expensive for this kind of build but it's a good case

 

fans: not needed, i would think

 

CPU: spending a bit much on it, how about a 3600/10400f? lower IPC but it's still great

 

cooler: if you go 3600/10400f, use the stock cooler, save some cash for other parts

 

mobo: do you need x570? there are cheaper alternatives

 

RAM: sure, i would grab 32gb personally, but 16gb is fine

 

SSD: sure

 

GPU: remember all the money you saved? dump it here, majority of the games are GPU dependent, so better GPU = more fps

though GPU pricing is screwy right now, i wouldnt recommend buying a GPU for gaming today unless you can nab one at MSRP

 

PSU: no comment because im not familiar with PSUs

Put a back order for this GPU, if not then honestly get a cheap used GPU like a 1060 or rx 570 for 200 - 300 and then when prices come back to normal get a 3060ti
