New PC build

[bambambunny]

Planning a new PC build

 

The CPU will be AMD Ryzen 5 5600x or INTEL Core i5-11600K. Since they are both similar in performance my selection will depend on which motherboard that I can afford with my budget will be better. The PC will be mostly for gaming.

 

With my budget I was thinking of this ones:

 

- for INTEL Core i5-11600K  -  MSI Z590-A PRO, Gigabyte Z590 D

                                                     (or if you can suggest another one up to 200$)

 

- AMD Ryzen 5 5600x  -  ASUS TUF Gaming B550-Plus,  

                                         ASRock B550M Steel Legend, 

                                        ASRock B550 Extreme4, 

                                        MSI MAG B550M Mortar , 

                                        Gigabyte B550 AORUS ELITE V2, 

                                         Asus Prime X570

The GPU for now (until the prices stabilize) will be my old AMD R9 200

Not an expert but I think most of the Z590 boards are a bit overpriced and don't offer that much, so B550 >  Z590 imo, plus you can upgrade to a better CPU with the AM4 socket later if you want.  I think the TUF B550 is a pretty well-rounded board but I as a personal preference I don't like the yellow highlights lol

11600K over the 3600 Any day of the week. If the 11600K is too much then go 11400 and B560, still will easily outperform a 3600

? one isnt better than the other, they're not competing.

i wasn't comparing their performance just that i thought z590 was more expensive with mostly useless features while b550 has just about everything you'd need for a first build - i would've compared b550 and b560 but he didn't list any b560 boards that he was considering

Ups just realized I wrote the wrong CPU its not 3600 its 5600x

What is useless about Z590 that isnt on B550

Get the 11600k and go for a B560 board if you want to keep prices lower. AM4 does have a better upgrade path, but you'd be losing out on a decent amount of performance today, and by the time you'd want to upgrade, there's gonna be a lot of better chips new that would be more worth the money. The ASUS Strix B560 board is a pretty good board for that chip, especially if you don't care about overclocking, for about $175. If you really want to go AMD, get the ASRock B550 PG Velocita. Ton of features for $170, as well as being very well built for the price.

Sadly Asus strix B560 in my country its 298USD and ASRock B550 PG Velocita 270usd a way to much for my budget

things like extra rgb features, two gen 4 pcie and m.2 slots instead of just 1 gen 4 and 1 gen 3 - no one is gonna use two gen 4 graphics cards or m.2 ssd's on their first build so why pay like $100 extra for that
