What's your budget, what are you using the PC for and which parts do you already have?

My budget is about £1200

I already have gpu 5700xt and storage I use it for gaming a bit and work like adobie and fusion 360 like blender I also didn't know if it would be better to go AMD? Because z690 motherboards are Verry expensive and is AMD more future proof motherboard to fit later models

That CPU is a great choice. AM4 is at the end of it's life cycle so a new motherboard would be required to upgrade to the 6000 series AMD (assuming that's what it's called)

Mobo I have changed to a cheaper but still great one

RAM is also the same specs but cheaper

 

- I am assuming you already have the case and power supply? Because if so, you could potentially go for an even better CPU and mobo, although what I listed should be all you need

No problem

Here is an updated parts list including a recommended power supply and case (although the case is down to your personal preference)

https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/cgx6nL

If you don't like the case, here are a few others that I can recommend

Corsair iCUE 4000X RGB ATX Mid Tower Case

Lian Li Lancool II Mesh

NZXT H510 Flow

Fractal Design Meshify C

Cooler Master MasterBox TD500 Mesh w/ Controller

Any of those would be just as good

- The power supply I chose (Corsair RM750) is very good. It is efficient, modular so easy to build with and 750W will give you plenty of headroom for any new GPU (even a 3080) you may want to put in when the shortage sorts itself out
