Need advice on future build

[vlad1slaw]

Budget (including currency): 1500 USD ~ 30.000 MDL

Country: Republic of Moldova

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: AAA and indie games, Adobe photoshop, Premiere Pro and internet browsing.

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): 

 

Hi, I am currently using a 2012 low end laptop and finally upgrading to a new PC that I am planning to build myself. My budget is maximum $1500 and I am limited to only local options, thus the range of available PC parts is a bit narrow. I have chosen to buy most of the components brand-new and go second-hand for the Graphics Card, on which I found a great deal at around 400 dollars. This is the build I came up with: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/B6L2GL. I hope you guys could point out the problems it may have and guide me into fixing them. I hope what I wrote is readable as I am not a native speaker. Thanks in advance!

Running a liquid cooler on a 5600 to compensate for the lack of case airflow is a bit backwards... There is an NZXT H510 Flow you can get instead, and with that you'd technically be fine with the stock cooler, though a basic 120mm tower is recommended. That motherboard isn't fantastic according to local testing, but it should be just fine for a 5600. $140 is very expensive for a 650W Gold PSU - You should be able to find a similar unit for less.

Build is ok, but the NZXT AIO and case are overpriced, makes no sense on a limited budget, and the case isn't very good (bad airflow)

You really don't need an AIO on a 5600, any $30 aircooler will be good, and rather get a Corsair4000, Phanteks P400 or LianLi 215 or Lancool II case, they're better and cheaper

With the saved money get a better CPU or GPU

Most of these components are nowhere to be found in my region and the delivery to here is either inexistent or more than the product itself, sorry.

Thanks for your reply, I found a replacement for the cooler, BeQuiet Pure Rock 2 Black, but no luck for a good case. As I said in another reply, American market cases are very rare to be found here. The local shops import either chinese crap or some good cases but heavily overpriced. I have found a budget case https://www.fantastic.md/carcasa-fara-psu-deepcool-matrexx-55-mesh-add-rgb-4f/143-205715 which I kind of like. Here it costs around 80$. I'd appreciate if you could help me find a case. Maybe the site I shop from could be useful https://www.fantastic.md/ (It has the largest selection of hardware I could find in my country)

Thanks for your reply! I know the PSU is overpriced, but it is the only quality and modular one I could find, as many of the options here are Cheap chinese PSUs
