Help with Build

[LinusIsTuff]

Budget (including currency): 

Country: 500-550 usd (US)

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Valorant, other rastuerized ganes

Other details :
i know the psu is a bomb, but a 250w safety space should (should) keep it ok

5600gt because of light editing and streaming. It’s only 9% slower than 5600, so I think it’s an ok tradeoff
Wifi functionality is a must

byikding for a friend, so I’d rather it be easy to build in and look clean (not a necessity)

Thanks

You can buy more than just a GPU on the used market by the way.

 

Also I'm not sure the tradeoff for "light" video editing is worth the theoretical performance loss in the actual CPU.

Just checked, on the cultists it seems to be a tier E (so coveted) or tier C (so good), but it’s passable…?

I get the l3s cut down, but the gpu it’s paired with should be enough to hold it down (lul)
Whats the better gpu on the used market? The Rx 6600xt on used market (where I am) seems to hang abt 170-180$, tho it kinda varies from day to day

ill consider the switch for the cpu, but it only seems to drop about 5-9% in average. I’m fine sacrificing a bit for cpu horsepower, but if prices switch I’ll change it
 

Also long time no see m8

I think it would still be better, if you want something else though here

Does 5600gt change much
i get it’s essentially a more powerful 5600g, but idk. I’ll probably switch. Form what I’ve seen, and benchmarks, it seems like a 9% drop (which is eh)

budget man, budget. Id like to keep it up to 520$

It is like on the same level (green label = cooked)
 

at that point, for the cost, it’s better just to go for the bin 550

It can be a lot worse in the 1% or 0.1% lows making the game a stutter fest.

fine then spend the extra like 20 and get a new 550 from somebody like MSI

you can find DDR4 RAM, Ryzen CPUs on used market too,

 

you can find a really cheap case maybe,

 

or like a 50$ and less, high quality used PSU too.

not really, but perhaps lower lows regardless on average

Parroting why_me, not really
4XXXg, now don’t get me started on that though
 

I think you get this from when zen 1 (and cut down zen 2) did this iirc
might be wrong

Is there a good place to find the used stayed besides eBay?

AliExpress for the CPU?

USA

theoretically Danmark during the deep winter months, but I’d rather have it soon rather than kater
 

I’ve used aliexpress for 7500f, but I’d rather avoid it. I’ll still check it

 

edit:
I might just wait for RyZen 9000
