What should I do?

[OskarBoi]

Budget (including currency): €500

Country: Netherlands 

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: gaming, Light streaming and basic web browsing

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): 

My friend got a used 3070 for €300 and that isnt included in budget. Doesnt mind going a little over budget if really needed.

Just want some feedback how I maybe can get a little more performance. Probably, we’re going to wait for the launch of Intel 14th gen for maybe a chance to get a 13400f for a better price

Scale way back or get more money.  Going with a 5600 is solid as the 12400 and comes with a cooler, saving a good bit.  Don't need 850w at all.

 

Just to show it can be done near 500...

Thanks for the list. I made some changes that were important to my friend, like adding Wi-Fi to the mobo and swapping the psu for a cheaper, also awesome one. I also just added the cooler again because we like the rgb and the PC is always sitting next to my friend

Yeah, that works well.  Wasn't sure he could stretch over 600, so that is a very good thing.

Guys 650W isn't enough for a 3070. Get at least a 750W and make sure its efficient. I would recommend 850W though.

Continue the streak of old parts and try to get the 5600 used instead.
