Depends on your use case, but the 2600X is generally plenty strong for that setup. 

So i was thinking of buying a PC with ryzen 5 2600x, rx 580 8gb, 24gb of ram, 1tb ssd and 480gb ssd, 500W PSU which i can replace with 600W one, B450m-s2h motherboard and as for case i is cooler master masterbox MB511D. I was wondering if i should replace the CPU with something stronger because i don't think i need to and the whole PC costs roughly 400 euros which i think is a great deal

What country?

 

Used rx 570/580 go for peanuts nowadays with 4gb models at ~35€ and 8gb at ~50€, atleast thats the pricing here in indo but this is a developing country

 

With whats supposed to be the most expensive component out of the way already pretty horrible for 400€

 

2600x is worthless, maybe like 30€ but used 3600(x) go for 50-60€ and obliterate it

 

That b450 is probs also worth the same as the cpu with better midranger b3/450 available for ~50€

 

Used 500w maybe 20€ at most, psus are also worth peanuts on the used market and you can get used 750/850w like the rm(x) or equivalent for 40-60€

 

Decent case but youve got more important priorities at this budget

 

1tb is ~40€ 480gb being half that

 

16gb of ram is worth 30€ so lets just say rams ~40€ cause 32gb is at 50€, not to mention thats mix match so itll be running at an abysmally slow speed

 

 

All in all pretty horrible for 400€

 

For what you can build at this pricerange with used everything but ssd id be expecting a used 3600(x) + 5700xt/6600xt (120-150€) + 32gb of ram (depends on how cheap you find used either 8x4 or 16x2 otherwise 50€ new), case can be dumpster dived or you can find a cheap used one, 1tb ssd is 40€, used psu depends on how much budget you have left

Where did you find all of that? I found the whole pc for 400e and i can only find rx 580 for at least 100e and the same goes for other components, more expensive

Depends on country though

And what sites are you looking at for used parts?

 

It could be decent in your country but look absolutely horrible elsewhere so idk about your countries used market

 

And 100€ for a mining rx 580 is a ripoff so you are definitely looking at the wrong places
