Help with this pc part list?

[garrowpop]

Budget (including currency): ~$2000 nzd

Country: New Zealand

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: valorant, minecraft, factorio, maybe some other singleplayer games I never got around to due to system limitations

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): playing 1080p 144hz with 2 monitors, I don't need any peripherals. Upgrading from a 6 year old system that just isn't able to keep up with the games I want to play anymore. I do have a couple hard drives I may hold onto from this current system tho. I was also kinda hoping to build this in the next couple of weeks but I may be able to go up to around $2.5k if it's worth it.

I have built a pc before but I didn't actually pick the parts from my old build (my dad did it for me) so I'm having a bit of trouble assessing how much money I should be putting into parts such as the motherboard and power supply and whether that money may be better spent elsewhere? It's also been a bit of a struggle doing this as parts seem sooo much more expensive over here.

a stronger PSU around 850 Watts to have some breathing room. 

 

Then think how long this system shall last for you, Ryzen 5xxx and AM4 are a dying generation. 

 

Means you can only put in another Ryzen 5xxx as upgrade.

The other side, if you don't upgrade but every 5 years, this is moot. 

 

Upgrade paths are nice but not the end all be all people are trying to make them.  I like how you broke it down for him.

You have a cheaper board with WIFI https://nz.pcpartpicker.com/product/PDsnTW/msi-b550m-pro-vdh-wifi-micro-atx-am4-motherboard-b550m-pro-vdh-wifi and it dont reqiure the USB adapters. But if you are looking 2 full pcie slot the mb you picked work fine but idk what you can put on the second slot compare to the msi one does have spacing between the 3 so you can put stuff onto others aswelll

@Dedayog I break even harder.

 

Well it depends on what do you expect from the system, and if you want future proof it.

 

The list is quite okay.

 

If you rarely ever play new games and rather stick to playing what you play, it's pretty decent.

 

From a long-road point of wiew, while it can last 5 years probably more, upgrades would require buying seperate parts.

 

The Motherboard is good enough for 5600, and few CPUs that are slightly faster.

Buying slightly faster CPU is a waste, but getting even more faster CPU in the future means the need to upgrade Motherboard.

Same would go with PSU, it can last, it can run slightly faster components but that's about it. (upgrading to noticably faster hardware would mean you would need to upgrade PSU too)

 

However, like I said, if you only play same or similar games, you won't need those upgrades probably, but it's up to you.

Good choice overall

Board is a bit lowendish but it's ok

2TB Gen4 SSD is overkill, you could get a 1TB cheap Gen3 and spend more in a better GPU :

I did think about going am5 but I felt like there wasn't really a good way to do it with my budget? If there is a good way I might consider it
