Hey, I'm building my first rig.

I wanted to know if all the parts are compatible and if you guys recommend to change some parts for about the same price.

Thanks in advance!

 

I would get a 212 EVO for the CPU heatsink, and get a case AND PSU, not all bundled in one lot. Those are known not to be reliable at all

Bow down to me humans.

I can't help if you don't quote me. How am I supposed to know if you need my premium support? Now starting at £399.99 a year.

Also, be a sport and mark the correct answer as the correct answer. It will help pour souls in the future when they are stuck and need guidance.

"If it works, proceed to take it apart and 'make it work better.' Then cry for help when it breaks." - Me, about five minutes ago when my train of thought wandered.

Remember kids, A janky solution is still a solution.

I would also probably go with an unlocked CPU for over clocking goodness. But if you're looking to overclock you'll want a Z970 board or similar as that board won't over clock. You might want something beefier than the 212 Evo for overclocking through.

use the stock heatsink, you're wasting money buying an aftermarket heatsink with a locked cpu. get a 1x8gb stick of ddr4 and save the slot for later. get a different psu, the 500w unit on that case is mediocre. your country and budget?

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

Z970... seems legit

Will do, Thanks!

My budget is about 950USD. But I live in Israel, so the money doesn't worth as much.

Do you have any recommendations for a specific case and PSU?

for the psu, anything seasonic and the corsair cx450/550m are good budget choices. you'll have to look at your local stores for cases since i'm not sure what choices you have.

i'd also recommend going with a cheaper i5 and see if you can cram in an rx 470/480/gtx 1060 3gb instead of the 1050ti if possible.

PSU, really just get one with sufficient wattage with an 80+ Rating

Case I would go with an NZXT S340, I've used them loads and abused them more and there all a pleasure to work in

pretty obvious he can't get something so expensive when he picked more entry-level components.

not all power supplies with a wattage number and efficiency rating are good.

true enough on both counts, through "entry level"? Not really. Entry level would be somthing like a i3 + 750ti
