First PC build

[Sou]

Hello, I am trying to see if the parts I picked are compatible all together.

So I made a list of

Gigabyte B450M H

AMD Ryzen 5 3600 AM4 3.6 GHz 

RX 580 8GB 2048sp DDR5 256 Bits PCI 3.0

16Gb Ram 3200MHz DDR4

500W Power Supply 

AQIRYS Bellatrix Pro White, Mini Tower, mATX

I only have a 500-550$ budget because I live in Europe in a low value country.

If there's anything changes I could do please let me know and please sites that ship in Europe.

Also I would like to know what should I buy to add more fans working because the motherboard only has 2 CPU_FAN and SYS_FAN.

you can buy fan splitters or a fan hub to add more fans.

(Fan hub is more expensive)

Do I connect the fan splitters / fan hub to the motherboard and then the fans to the hub ?

You could probably find a second hand system for about 500 that would be faster than this.  Something with a GTX 1070 or 1080 would be doable.

That's what I first wanted to do but majority had bs ram and weird stock coolers with weak psu, so tbh it's more worth building it myself

I am from Romania, so money over here it's pretty rough

I get that.  To be honest, at about 700 USD you could get a very nice PC, but anything less and you have to make huge sacrifices just to save a little on budget.  An RX580 is not great in 2023, not worth spending 500 USD on a system to game like that.  At 700, this was the best I could do, and it would play almost everything at very good settings.  Otherwise you may just want to stick to console gaming.  Unless you know of another website on which you can shop for parts.

 

At 700USD (anything less would be a major performance sacrifice for a little bit of money saved:

For 570 USD, you could get this but it would be about half the speed of the 700USD system in any game, about 1/3 the speed of the 800 USD system and have 1/4 the storage of the other two so you'd need to find a regular HDD to add to the system.

Either way, the best deal on a usable PSU was the 850BC (the 550w was the same price), so you'd have a system that could utilize a faster GPU in the future.

 

The case has good airflow.  It does not come with intake fans, but if you can find 1 or 2 120s to put on the front it would be fine, even without the fans, it would still stay cool enough as it still has an exhaust fan.

 

If there are other sites to shop for parts in Romania, let me know and I'll take a look.

Thank you a lot , even though they're over my budget I could try saving up more money for them, especially the first one looks pretty good, also I already have a 500gb ssd sata 3 and hdd 1tb sata 3. And yes there more sites like emag.ro, cel.ro and altex.ro

Also I don't really have money myself, I am mostly saving up my allowance which is 200 ron per month, but hopefully I could get some money for my birthday.

GPU:

XFX Speedster SWFT 210 AMD Radeon RX 6600 XT 8GB GDDR6 128-bit at CEL.ro

CPU:

AMD Ryzen 5 3600 AF 4.2GHz 36MB Socket AM4 Box 100-100000031AWOF at CEL.ro

The rest is really straining me in romanian, but if you can follow the logic in the parts lists I made, you might be able to work something out.

True it's understandable, also unlucky that the GPU is out of stock.

[Queen Chrysalis]

Oh right, I can;t see the shipping stuff because I am viewing from the US.

Also for hdd do I need big ones or they could also be the same size as the ssd sata 3 ? Because storage isn't really an issue for me since I already got a 250gb ssd and another 500gb ssd + some 1tb hdd laying around

Also I don't really need a big pc because I usually play simple games like Rocket League, Valorant, CsGo, Apex Legends, Fivem

Do you think this case will be compatible with the list you made ?

It's the one I mainly wanted to buy and it comes with 3 fans preinstalled and it is a bit cheaper/

Yeah, any of them would work.  that would actually help your budget a lot, you would not have to buy any storage.

Yes.

 

Knowing all of this, ifyou got that 700USD parts list without the drives and the cheap case you posted, it could be close to 500USD.

Yeah the one with the 6600 is what I wanted to pick and replace the case for it since the one I found it's cheaper and tbh look a bit cool.
