Not a huge fan of your build, especially the ssd, psu, case, and periphs but, get rid of the CPU cooler, get a phanteks p360a.

Stock, Corsair CX (non-m (lower-end))/Antec Earthwatts(mid-range)/Enermax revolution D.F (higher-end), Mushkin pilot e (higher-end)/ Helix L (lower-end), periphs, go for the mousepad and keeb for now, those are decent deals, hold off on the headset and mouse (if you can even get it lol), I'll get back,

You're looking to cut like $50 and there's a ton of fat on this build. You can drop the RGB RAM, use the stock cooler, get rid of the mousepad, and ditch the headset. You can also just forgo the HDD for the time being, since it's no problem just dropping that in later when you've got some more cash.

im trying to get it down to 1350

     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     

Then try this setup. The GPU is gonna be the one that you gonna struggle to find, so i would swap out the F variant for the 11400 with integrated graphics so you can use it for basic office and chatting use until you can get a GPU.

Wouldn't you need fans for the case?

You can always add 2 extra intakes later, the P300A and P360A at stock configuration punches way above its weight as is. But you do have extra 80$ that i would use to buy Arctic P12 (one of each is 11$, but iirc you can get a 3 pack) if you so inclined.

I didn’t include peripherals tho, when those are added it will be around $1180

geometry is hard
b550 > x570

Not really, the stock config is good enough

Would this be a good motherboard for AMD.

AMD MSI board is fucking horrendous. At that price bracket i would go for a B550M-PLUS TUF from Asus or Gigabyte Aorus series.

Would the intel i5 10600k need a better cpu cooler than the pure rock 2?

what? How? The B550-PRO-VDH-WIFI is a good budget board if you need wifi, and the B550-A-PRO is the best budget B550 board.

geometry is hard
b550 > x570

yes, but the 11400 is cheaper, has a better iGPU, and performs identically

I thought since it has a lower base clock speed meant it would be slower?

thats just the base clock speed...

But wont base clock speed matter more because that's like a starting point?
