I was aiming for an ASRock motherboard and gpu (specs included below) but ASRock is really expensive in my area compared to msi, gigabyte, and xfx, what should I get that's better? cheapest are xfx gpu (radeon rx 6600) and gigabyte motherboard (b660m ds3h)

specs of the parts I'm planning to buy:

cpu: intel core i5-12400F

gpu: radeon rx 6600 

motherboard: gigabyte b660m ds3h

ram : 16gb g.skill trident Z RGB ram ddr4 3200MHz dual channel kit (maybe recommend another ram if its important) 

storage: 500gb crucial mx500 SATA SSD 2.5"

case: fractal design focus mini G mATX 

psu: corsair cx550f rgb 80 plus bronze fully modular atx psu

 

my budget is between 800-1000 dollars

I dont reccomend spending over 30$ on a case at this budget so i suggest finding a decent used case or a dirt cheap ~3$ scrap office case, depends on how powerful you want the gpu to be

 

Rgb ram is stupidly overpriced so didnt bother

I love that case, very unique look.  I tire of the same 3x120 black towers on everyone's desks.

I edit the shit out of my posts.  Refresh before you respond.
