AM4 tends to work better with G.Skill and the 5600 runs cool as ice.

For $29 AUD that cooler allows you to enable PBO ... that and I hear Oz can get hot.

yes it does lol, but some extra fans will probably keep the temps at a reasonable level, because my current pc doesn't really ever overheat because of the weather, but then again in only have a 1650 and a Ryzen 5 2600 so they aren't the most heat producing components

Rapid tweak on the build above, its close to what id build personally.

But yeah, the hardest part is the GPU. Youre at the crossroad between just settling for 3070 or 3060 family, or just going all in with 4070 which would be the top GPU i recommend for a 5600 alongside the 6800XT.

yea i considered 40 series, but the price is at a point that really makes it hard for me to go with something like a 4070
