Best pc for $1350

[B R U H]

Hello guys I am trying to make a pc list for my friend that’s getting his pc in Jan Later next year, Even though technically our budget is $1500 after adding the crazy prices my country’s amazon adds (amazon.ae) I have to decrease budget 

 

My friend is hoping for a used Rtx 3070 or new Rtx 3060 
 

this is what I have able to come up with:

 

Cpu: Amd Ryzen 7 3700X

Mobo: Asus ROG B450-F (my friend really wants it)

Gpu: Hopefully a used Rtx 3070 or a Rtx 3060 Ti

Ram: Crucial Ballistix RGB 16gb CL16 ram running at 3600Mhz

Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 212 Black edition (not evo)

Storage: Crucial P2 1TB nvme M.2 ssd + 1TB WD Blue 7200Rpm hdd

Case: NZXT H510 Elite

PSU: MSI MPG A650GF PSU, 650W 80 Plus Gold

The B450-F is an OK motherboard but there is nothing remotely special about it (I know because I used to have one). I see no reason to buy a B450 chipset board of any kind in mid 2021 unless you are on an extremely tight budget. Your friend knows the B550-F exists, right?

 

If you're trying to save money, you can certainly get by with the stock cooler on the 3700X as long as you aren't overclocking. 

 

The Crucial P2 does not have DRAM cache, though it does at least have HMB. Again if you're trying to cut the budget you could just set a SATA SSD, NVMe speed is not necessary or terrible noticeable most of the time.

 

The H510 Elite is generally considered a poor case by enthusiasts because its airflow is awful unless you mod it to add some more front ventilation.

 

I haven't seen reviews of MSI's power supplies and I don't know who their OEM is but they would definitely not be my first pick.

I wanted a B550 chipset mobo but atleast where I live they’re pretty expensive

Honestly, trying to guess at January right now will be tough.

 

Things are changing a lot, The GPU Market is in hella flux, and it'll potentially be very different in 5-6 months.  This will be a better question in Nov / Dec.

Hello so I changed many things

 

so I changed cpu to i7 10700k was cheaper and had more cores and threads and also had higher base and boost clock

 

I changed the mobo to asus rog b460 even though it wasn’t at a normal price I still got it because the cpu was so much cheaper that the price was fine

 

i got a cooler master master liquid 240l aio, I knew there were better air coolers for the same price and lower, but my friend really wanted an aio

 

 

i also got a better case, the Corsair iCUE 465 but we might get The iCUE 220T (Front glass panel version) both of them come with 3 rgb fans which is pretty good

 

 

i went with the MSI Mag A650GF cause it was cheap and it was 80+ gold, originally I had went with the Evga 650BQ 80+ bronze power supply but had extra budget left over so upgraded that

 

as for storage, my friend told me that 1TB is enough so just got a M.2 Samsung 980 (the one without V-NAND)

 

we have only slight problem u see all the parts can work with asus aura sync except the Corsair fans which have separate  proprietary Corsair rgb headers so we can’t just plug them into the mobo, there is a separate RGB hub in the Case for the Corsair RGB headers (The Corsair Lighting Node Core). According to my knowledge at least there is no way to physical to connect them, I’ve heard you can connect them by software by some plugin, But I’ve heard conflicting results.
