Thank you

Srsly with this budget dont even bother with rgb unless youd like choosing crappier parts for the sake of looks

Go spend the money instead of rgb on the freaking psu ffs, who cares about looks when your performance is crap or your psu blows up

 

Rgb ram isnt needed go with ripjaws 3200mhz 32gb ram kit, like 160$

 

I think its best to get a wifi b450 board cause those are pretty cheap nowadays and that t4e is more expensive then just buying a wifi board

 

Aios are uneccesary just go air and you arent gonna oc anyways like most ppl so why even bother, plus an air cooler like the hyper h411/412r or pure rock 2 is more than enough to cool your cpu hence aio is unjustified plus those coolers arent too big so working around the socket isnt a pain in the ass

 

No reason to buy a sata ssd nowadays unless you are using an older system that doesnt have m.2 cause nvme ssds cost the same and are much faster, though im just gonna assume thats from your last build

 

And i reccomend upgrading your psu to msi mpg, revolution df or rm

 

Really good cheap mesh case though add 1 or 2 fans to it cause it only comes with 1 fan, i suggest arctic p or f series fans

 

Heck with rgb thrown out the window you might be able to upgrade to a 3700x

 

Other than the uneccesary stuff decent build

A good majority of the parts were part of a bundle. (Pretty much everything except the GPU, WiFi and AIO which were all on a super sale when I got them)

 

But thought about the 3700x for sure and a new case could help with the airflow for sure

Oh if its a bundle or a sale then i guess its not that bad, prob better than buying individualy but yea builds 1000$ and under i strongly do not reccomend any focus on asthetics cause its either looks or performance at this budget

Haha yeah I totally understand that! I figured if it was worth updating cool, if not hang on and do a $2K(+-) build down the road

You'll be fine with just updating the BIOS on the B450-F and getting a 5800X and GPU in the future once they're in stock.
