APU Build

[Sickeling]

Hello there....

 

GPU prices are too damn high, APU is the solution, at least for my wallet right now. Budget = as long as the prices make sense, I can buy it.

 

This is the build I'm aiming for:

 

CPU:            Ryzen 5 4650g (iGPU: Vega 7)

MBD:           Gigabyte B550 DS3H

RAM:           2 x 8gb Crucial Ballistix 3200MHz 

SSD:            Crucial MX500 500gb (I'll get extra storage once it's filled)

PSU:            Corsair CV550w 80+ Bronze

Case:          Cougar MG120-G (Cheapest I could find that I liked) [has 1 x 120mm exhaust fan]

Cooling:     1 x 140mm Be quiet Fan (I think it's enough for an APU]

 

 

Are there any changes I should consider.

 

Thanks.

For the case you should go with the Phanteks Eclipse P360A

Seems a bit overkill for this kind of build. personally considering I think its an M-ATX build I would do cm nr400

Not sure about that, I found if for 3 times the price of the MG120.

I dunno what listing you were looking at, but the MG120 would have to be $23 for that to be accurate

 

The P360A is a $70 USD Mesh case that comes with 2 pre-installed fans. You can't beat it.

Couldn't find it for a good price, but what about the Corsair 275r airflow (black) ?

That's $20 more expensive than the P360A, and it comes with only 1 fan, with worse airflow

What do you think?

I know that's the normal price, but where I'm from it goes for $140 (taxe included), that's the cheapest I could find. I did however find other cases that come with extra fans like the Corsair 275r airflow for $95.

The 275r Includes 3 x 120mm cooling fans out of the box., and is actually cheaper than the P360 in my country. Maybe since it's easier to get, or it is more popular so it's shipped in big quantities.
