First "real" PC for my Girfriend

[_Omega_]

Budget (including currency): <1000€

Country: Germany 

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: 

Mostly easy to run games like Sims but maybe some more demanding games, like maybe Elden Ring, in the future. Also, some photo editing in Lightroom, but nothing to demanding. 

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): 

Me and my girlfriend wanted to build a PC for her for a long time, so I thought now would be a good time to finally do it. I just want do part something together that is good price to performance. I’ve gone for the Ryzen because a have a spare Wraith Prism laying around which should cool the 5600 quite well.

I haven’t decided jet if I want to go for a RTX 3060 (maybe the ASUS RTX 3060 Phoenix for around 420€) or the RX 6600 XT like shown in the build.

Maybe you find some things I could do better for getting the best price to performance.

Sorry for just providing a screenshot, but pcpartpicker just does not work to well for Germany.

 Anyone who's tried to cool a 5600 with one has a spare laying around, that'd be my only criticism.

5 years and you've not built her a PC, not that serious obviously

your build is fairly good, there isnt alot i can "Fix" but ill try
- you can switch 5600 for 5600x or 5800x 
- your gpu is good, it is way better than 3060 although if you can find a good deal on 6700xt or 3070 go with that instead
-you seem to be missing a case if you need suggestions for cases ill be glad to give you some although its mostly up to preferance as long as it fits everything (you will want either ATX mid tower, or ATX full tower to fit your MBD)
-you could get away with a 450w psu, 500w recommended, 650w is way overspecced unless you are planning to do upgrades in the near future
-you could go with a less powerfull ssd with more storage, some larger games like Elden ring take up gigs of space, 1tb may be enough but i would go with 2tb just to be safe 
even without these "upgrades" the build you have here is a good build, it should run everything you need it to fairly decently

For the Cooler ill use a “wraith prism” I have laying around and for the case I’ll go with the "LC-Power 711MB Nightbreak_X".

 

Any recommendations for improvement?

PS: The prices of PCPartPicker are way of for Germany so don’t go by that when something that I picked is more expensive that something else.

Looks great, but please get a different PSU. This should help.

It’s a B tier for a midrange setup... even dough it’s a low priority unit on the Tier list, shouldn’t it be fine?

I thought it was worse. Anyway, try getting a tier A if possible. If not the Seasonic one should do the job.

I get your point, but I think I go for the Seasonic one, the components shouldn’t pull more than 450 W so I still have 200 W headroom. I think it should work just fine… and I am really at the limit of 1000 € or maybe I wait a day or two and see if I can get a deal on a better one…

@Pixelfie i could spend a bit more for a "DeepCool DQ650-M-V2L 650W" which is an "normal" B-Tier in the Tier list

If it's like 5 more you could do it but not if it's more

Its like 8 bucks more, but its also 80 plus gold, modular and has 5 years more warranty

Yeah then just get it. 

 

Also as far as I know in Germany you have warranty as long as you expect the product to last, which is usually 10 years for PSU's. So really it doesn't matter how long the warranty is, but if it says it has longer warranty you might have less trouble dealing with the retailer when you need it.

As far as i know its just that you have at least 2 years of warranty even when the manufacturer does not give a warranty.

Looks good apart from the PSU, haven't seen that brand before, but if it is in the PSU tierlist in PSU subforum, you are good.

I am also loving how that GPU looks.

Its on the List, ist B Tier, its quite cheap, thats why i picked it

[Pixelfie]

Not sure what price the 650w one is, but I'd spend a bit more for this PSU: Enermax Revolution D.F. 650 W 80+ Gold Certified Fully Modular ATX Power Supply (ERF650AWT) - PCPartPicker

 

Also what case did you choose for what price?

 

Looks pretty good other than that.

As these threads seemed to just be updates to original, better to just have them in one place. You already answered same question about same PSU 3 times...
