[Oakmeal]

Budget (including currency): Hello my friend would like some help with some pc parts he has a budget around 700-800$USD and i already have a 2070 super for him (monitor if able but not a big deal rn he will deal with a 60hz for now) 

Country: USA

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Mostly gaming Dying light 2, Minecraft, Mostly the newer ones just a machine capable too run mostly anything.

Other details (existing parts lists, whether any peripherals are needed, what you're upgrading from, when you're going to buy, what resolution and refresh rate you want to play at, etc):

No problem! You can probably go lower on the PSU to a 650W unit, but prices may vary where you live. Ryzen 5 3600 comes with a CPU cooler, which is sufficient. If you want to upgrade down the road, you can always use an aftermarket CPU cooler to overclock (3600 is an unlocked processor that allows for overclocking).

Do you think this can work so I will get rid of the SSD and the RAM and just give him mine from my old pc. The RAM is LPX 4 sticks of corsair 3200mhz 32gb (all 4 slots) and the SSD is just a Inland SSD its from microcenter and I loved it. It already has windows on it so I will just wipe what's on it and just keep windows if that makes sense. and chose a better CPU Ryzen 7 3700x prop would need a better board? Thoughts?

Sure, that'll work fine the SSD and RAM. Just keep in mind that you'll need a new Windows key for Windows as the product key you activate is assigned to that motherboard. I'd format the SSD and install Windows again just to clear up any issues that can arise from drivers from another build. 

 

For the mobo, yes I'd pick a better mobo like the Asus ROG STRIX B550-A.
