Is this correct?

[ilya1]

I am partially building a new pc and am kinda new to this.

This is what I plan on saving up for and buying. Are any of these parts incompatible or not of the same "power" level, or are any of them easily upgraded with a small price increase?

(I already own the RTX 2060, a case and a powersuply: MS-Tech MS-N750-VAL)

This looks like a good, well ballenced build to me, you might want to consider a cheaper SSD like a WD SN570 or a Kingston NV2 (if they are cheaper in your region)

A Ryzen 5 5500 is also a way to save some money if you need to, the 5500 is a bit cheaper (usually) and a tiny bit slower than the 5600 but it does loose PCIe gen4 which wont impact anything other than your SSD (and it wouldnt impact a cheaper SSD like the 2 ive suggested above)

See if you can get faster ram, not a deal breaker, but 3600mhz ram is often at or slightly above 3200mhz, and it'll give a slight cpu performance bump.

Everything else checks out, thought eventually I'd swap out the Power Supply when you eventually upgrade the GPU.

Depending on how long you are saving up for, it's worthwhile to revisit this question before you buy, and to keep an eye out for deals along the way. I've seen 5700X within $50 of the 5600.

R5 5600 series prices now are just too outrageous, stocks everywhere are getting slimmer, I doubt prices would improve much or back to where it is suppose to be.

Unless you plan to buy within this week, what you plan now won't be the same.

Prior to christmas and new year holidays, R5 5600 was around $130, 5600x was around $150. Now the cheapest 5600 in the US is $162, even that one isn't available now.

So, again, unless you plan to buy within this week, don't plan out anything yet, just save up to a certain amount and go from there.

This does depend on what region the OP is in, here in the UK the 5600 is still about £130 while the 5600x is £160 and the 5500 is £105 and looking at PC part picker it also looks like pricing in europe is simmilar to in the UK

Regardless of region, what I said was just to emphasize my point, price changes happen everywhere and everyday. Last month, Team MP34 1TB SSD was around $85 here in my country, now it is about $60.

12400 was around $200 last month, now around $179.

After re-reading the OP's post you are right, i agree that it would be better for them to save up first and then plan a build based on the pricing when they actually plan to build it

The R5 5600 sadly only supports up to 3200mhz

I get that, but I also have trouble saving up cash if I don't have a clear goal for what I'm saving up to.

That's without turning on xmp, 3600 is usually ideal since ryzens infinity fabric likes a bit faster ram

only officially supports up to 3200mhz but they usually have no problems up to about 3800mhz and ive never heard of 3600 not working

Would that require any modification or can you just plug in 3600mhz and it instantly works?
