Posted June 18, 2023 https://pcpartpicker.com/list/N2ZZgb 5500 + 6800 + 32gb 3200c16 You can get a far far superior gpu by allocating less money on less important stuff by finding cheaper equivalents/alternatives (particularly case, psu, and cpu + board) Gpu is used so make sure you can return incase faulty (although risk is very minor) Cheaper equivalent cpu which also allows a cheaper board (which you can get even cheaper if you look for used b3/450) completely cut cost on the case, dont need 1/7 the budget being wasted on a part that contributes nothing to performance. I reccomend buying a cheap used office case and taking off the sidepanel For optional improvements Used psu, you can easily find solid 850w gold units for around 40-60$, maybe units like thermaltake toughpower/gf, corsair rm, etc. Very minimal risk and allows for futureproofing Lga 775 copper core, 2-3$ and outperforms the wraith stealth, only caveat being having to ziptie to the cpu but this will allow you to match or beat the 12400f/5600 by simply overclocking to 4.7-4.8ghz on all cores instead of whatever pathetic ~4.4 allcore you can get with the wraith cooler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted June 18, 2023 Author I need power supply suggestions that are 70 U.S dollars or less. I want it from a reliable brand (EVGA, Corsair, Thermaltake, Seasonic, etc.) so it won't light on fire. I'll mostly be using the PC for gaming Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted June 18, 2023 So it looks like you already have a PSU from Thermaltake and it's less than $70. | Remember to mark Solutions! | Quote Posts if you want a Reply! | | Tell us everything! Budget?
