Planning on a new build, let me know what you think

Hi there,

 

the PSU is no good, and why did you pick the R9 270X? You can get much better value out of the RX460/470.

 

I made some optimizations, although I don't know your budget. Czech this out:

At any rate, I would suggest getting a better PSU, at least the CX450M grey, to get rid of unnecessary cables (Yes I know the Mastercase 5 has a basement)

you just need a GPU and maybe an ssd, don't really need anything else.

CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 5600X Heatsink: Gelid Phantom Black GPU: Palit RTX 3060 Ti Dual RAM: Corsair DDR4 2x8GB 3000Mhz mobo: Asus X570-P case: Fractal Design Define C PSU: Superflower Leadex Gold 650W

RAM from ddr3 to ddr4 wont give you a apparent improvement in gaming. Any 1070 from MSI EVGA Asus etc are fine. you can check into evga ssc, sc, or ftw models, they are all good ones.

I also suggest to get a better PSU. the one you have will do the job but is risky. its quality makes it easy to fail and a failed psu will bring other staff down with it cpu/ mobo/ gpu.

a gtx 1070 windforce if you want cheap, evga if you can spend a few bucks more. for the ssd, hynix sl308 is a great budget choice.
