Which motherboard to choose. I’m a bit lost

Budget (including currency): spent max around 600€ less is ok

Country: Germany

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: league, ds3, eldenring, maybe monster hunter, future safety

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): 

i got a gpu nvidia gtx 1060 (6gb), and a bequiet! pure power 11 600W. Want to keep those. 
before i got a i7 2600k 16gb ram

I care more about FPS and graphics.  A fluent Experiences is important for me. I would like to have wifi and bluetooth, and some usb ports.


I already decided on a few things if they make sense and bought those yesterday. But I’m very unsure about my main board, especially regarding the lack of a heat sink for my new ssd.

Processor AMD Ryzen 5 7600

RAM: 2x 16GB DDR5-6000 CL36 Crucial Pro

 

SSD: Kingston KC3000 PCIe 4.0 NVMe M.2

Motherboard: Gigabyte B650M Gaming Plus Wifi 


I would be very grateful for ideas if this set up makes sense or if I should maybe change part.

KC3K can operate without it, its fine. Late gen 4.0 can operate passively, you dont want too low of a temperatures on NAND Flash anyway.

 

Take better RAM kit and 7500F. Both are option for your budget, and opens up a case for you to get a better PSU to accommodate far better GPU, a twin tower cooler to straight upgrade to the X3D chips, or just straight into your savings again.

Thank you very much for the fast reply :). 

 

The 7500 F option plus cooler is performance vice the same as the 7600? Just without internal grafics? - So I just need to decide whether I want to spent 15 € more on possible easier troubleshooting? Otherwise I could take the 7600?

 

Regarding the Motherboards, are yours just better in something/more compatible or better value for money?  Does the one I chose lack future comparability or is just bad/fine?

Why I was also struggling with my choice was: "1 x M.2 connector (M2A_CPU), integrated in the CPU, supporting Socket 3, M key, type 2580 SSDs" is mentioned for the board I posted above.

- Does this mean the Storage 2280 shouldnt be connected there? And I should use the M2C_SB ("1 x M.2 connector (M2C_SB), integrated in the Chipset, supporting Socket 3, M key, type 22110/2280 PCIe 4.0 x4/x2 SSDs")?

 

Thank you for the RAM, I will then take the more expensive CL30, if thats worth it for the performance 🙂 - I didnt know that.

 

2 TB Storage is just more, not faster?, cause I think i got an old internal SSD 250GB I could connect.

 

Sorry for my many questions. I was also kinda looking what was available, and chose amazon as an easy choice to just buy everything there. But thats surely not important for me, if the options there are not good.

 

Sincerly

Mo 🙂

Pretty much

Its not "easier" but rather its convinient to see if your GPU ever has an issue but it is an assistance in that aspect if you dont have a 2nd GPU that yk is fine

Better value and more trustworthy

Depends on the Drive itself if it is faster but regarding capacity 2tb>1tb obviously and the one @SorryBella mentioned is also WAY more reliable and faster so yes

If you disagree with anything I've said tell my why with logic not feeling

If you wanna correct smb do so with logic not anecdotes and feelings

Yeah, pretty much. AMD iGPU isnt that good for anything else beyond that, not unless if you stream on Youtube and already switched to AV1/AVC, or you are part of the Twitch AV1 Insider Program, because AMF is really good at AV1 and HEVC but not H.264.

Perfect, I know have chosen your ATX Mainboard, as well as the better RAM. But stayed with the CPU.

Now I just chose a new Chase, cause me old one was only micro ATX.

 https://www.amazon.de/dp/B0BM4QQSRB?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title&th=1 this should fit? My Powerdevice should fit even if it is close, doesnt it?

 

Now everything should work good?

 

Thank you very much again 🙂

Perfect, just 1 last thing. The SSD Storage 1TB I chose is on sale for 80, and the other one posted by SorryBella should be the exact same just with 2TB; But Millios is saying that hers is much faster and more reliable etc. Does he mean the one Why_Me posted?

So are there big diffs?

Yes

Between the one @SorryBella chose and the one @Why_Me chose the former is faster and more reliable

Between the one you chose and the faster one from the previous comparison the only difference is capacity

2TB SSD's normally have less latency vs 1TB SSD's.

I was just watching videos for building the PC, and someone mentioned I need to check the RAMs compatibility (especially for DDR5) with the Motherboard regarding the drivers etc. Especially if I want to run it at 6000Mhz (as XPO(?)), which I thought I should/need to do, so that my system makes sense, or CPU works properly. I tried to check on the manufactures side, but the RAM mentioned below wasn't listed.

So I would really appreciate your opinion on this topic.

 

Does it fit? Should I even "overclock"? And is it bad for the life of my RAM etc.? And useless if I am not gaming for some weeks?

 

Thank you again 🙂

Mo

 

PS.: I got the G.Skill Ripjaws S5 32 GB (2 x 16 GB) DDR5-6000 CL30 Memory; GIGABYTE B650 Gaming X AX V2 and AMD Ryzen 5 7600.
