I was looking to get this one https://pcpartpicker.com/product/DkWBD3/adata-xpg-core-reactor-750-w-80-gold-certified-fully-modular-atx-power-supply-corereactor750g-bkcus is it worth it ?

This is also a good PSU, but it's REALLY overpriced. the one i recommended earlier (Enermax Revolution D.F. 850 W 80+ Gold Certified Fully Modular ATX Power Supply (ERF850EWT) - PCPartPicker) IS $30 cheaper atm.

The problem with enermax is while it's cheaper, its kind of a cheaper company. They tend to not last nearly as long as some others.

 you get an extra 2 cores, not sure who to beleive! but yea ryzen looks better for your usecase

Neither of those links are worth reading. If you want to compare cpu's then look at actual reviews, and not crappy benchmark sites 🙂

This is not true, AT ALL. Just because it is from enermax and it's a "cheap company" does not make it a bad PSU.  This PSU is manufactured by the same people who manufacture the Corsair RM series of PSUS.

That is not true at all. If you know anything about psu's then you would know that Enermax were a very capable oem when they were making psu's. In any case CWT make them these days, the same oem that makes the Corsair RMx, RMi and HXi and other units for various brands.

I stand corrected, I was thinking of RaidMax. The "max" part got me.

Why not just go with a case that comes with fans? That puts the case at $215 in all..

You can fit a 3080 and a 5600x in there for $1400! You don't need a $120 cooler for a 5600x!

I was already going for that case

 

In that case, I'd go with the build Downkey did above. Swap out the case for the 215 and the Enermax 850W that they linked above. Tier A PSU at a pretty good price! Then you could use the savings for a bit more storage if you wanted that, or a bigger air cooler if you never wanted to have to even think about CPU temps again. The stock should do just fine though if you're not overclocking and have a case with good airflow, as you would with the 215.

Are you suggesting that the op should spend $400 on a GTX 1050 ti ?

 

As mentioned above you are spending too much money on the case and fans.

 

The R5 5600X is a much better option for 1080p gaming.

 

That Sabrent Rocket SSD is terrible value for money. You can get a 1TB NVMe like the WD Blue SN550 for $109.

The board might still be old stock. In which case it'll ship with a bios that won't support the 5600x. I thought that that board would have a flashback feature that lets you update it. I'm trying to find one around that price point that does, but maybe @lee32ukor @Downkey know of one. I usually am looking at $150-200 motherboards. 

 

Long edit to avoid double post.

 

Here's what I've found for boards supporting bios flashback. If you're upgrading from AMD, you might not even need to worry about that depending on what CPU you currently have. I'll add the steps that you'd have to do for each brand.
