My first PC build

So after months, I finally have an extra paycheck from a website I designed. Plus an extra paycheck from work this month. Thankfully i was able to pay off my loan so i have about $700 extra this month. I'm hoping to start and get the parts together and I'm very excited. So I wanted peoples opinions on my potential build.

 

I probably wont OC right away but I most likely will in a 3 to 6 months. (Still kinda nervous about it, even though I know it's pretty easy)

Newegg has a ryzen 5 2600 + B450 board for $270 (reflected in the part list). This sparked the interest once again. And I DEFFINITELY want an opinion on the bundle cause I may jump on that this week.

Looks good. One thing is that I would wait to buy GPU. nVidia will announce their new RTX line of GPUs, so you might get a good price for  1050ti or even buy a new card.

Main system: Ryzen 7 7800X3D / Asus TUF Gaming B650-Plus / G.Skill Trident Z5 NEO 32GB 6000Mhz / Zotac RTX 5090 SOLID OC/ x2 WD_BLACK NS770 2TBs/ Corsair HX1000i/ NZXT H5 Flow

Ooooooo Didnt know about that announcement. Thanks for letting me know! I think the GPU is going to be my last purchase. I do want to bounce on that bundle next week.

 

Edit: The RTX announcement is tomorrow. I just looked it up.

Agree with this, I'd say go for a 1060 6GB when the RTX line do drop because chances are they'll get closer to the price of a 1050ti now.

better value build. you can run the mobo combo you selected, though id suggest this build instead. also grab the GPU i selected as it is WAY faster than the 1050ti

if you are interested in oc you have to buy a cooler the stock one is not recommended but you can think about it when you will feel ready 

mild OC`s can be performed using the stock cooler, just dont expect 4,2 ghz to be doable
