Just a last check

Which psu should I use with:

 

H81M-H motherboard
Ryzen 5 2600x

GTX 1060 6gb

2x8gb ddr3 ram

You can't use a Ryzen processor with that motherboard or DDR3 memory.

I'm going to buy some parts to upgrade my gaming pc, but I don't know if the motherboard or my psu is suitable to overclock the CPU. And another question is if it is recommended buying a CPU cooler. Specs:

Going to buy:

Motherboard: Gigabyte - X470 AORUS ULTRA GAMING ATX AM4

CPU: Ryzen 5 2600x
GPU: MSI GTX 1060 6gb

RAM: 2x 8gb DDR4-3200
Hard Drive: Seagate - Barracuda 2TB 3.5" 7200RPM

 

Btw I already have a GX II 550w psu.

Everything looks okay with one addition.  Get a SSD to put your OS on, it will work wonders for you.

[victorluisgr]

Okay... Like a 100gb SSD?

Any X470 will be fine to overclock R5s, you could probably save money going with a good B450 tbh, like the Tomahawk, Carbon Pro Gaming or something else with good VRM. The PSU looks a bit sketchy, so I would recommend you to look for in-depth reviews of it first, but on paper it looks okay. Check mainly for voltage ripple, if it's 60mV+, I wouldn't recommend. 60mV is about the ripple of a CX450, my TX550M has about 22mV for comparison. This is probably what matters the most for your MOBO's VRM.

Unless you need a lot of storage, get a 240-500GB SSD and later on, add the HD.

[victorluisgr]

Nah, for me 2TB is enough for years. And what about the CPU cooler, is it worth it? Or I can ignore those?

[Jurrunio]

1. 2600 instead of the 2600x, you don't need the X to overclock the CPU.

 

2. X470 Ultra Gaming is a cheap way to get features only expensive boards can offer like a clock gen, but otherwise it's not that good of an overclocking board (nor for the price). MSI's B450 boards with VRM heatsinks like the Tomahawk is better in that regard.

 

3. also check whether RX 580s are cheaper. Equal to 1060 6gb in performance

 

4. Add SATA SSD, look for 250gb if you can. It's not about giving you more space, but the fact that SATA SSDs are lightning fast compared to HDDs.

 

5. CPU cooler can be saved for last. Depends on what you have left, Deepcool Gammaxx 400 to Scythe Mugen 5 Rev.B or Thermalright Macho are good coolers to buy.

If you plan on pushing your CPU, you definitely need, because Ryzen has an exponential power consumption increase in the last 200MHz. You can probably get away with 4GHz with the stock one, but nothing more.

Where tf did you get those numbers? That's wrong for both versions of the CX450 and the TXM.

Ok. Thanks for all the tips!

Well, my memory is shit, my bad, the TX650M had about 32mV and the CX600 had about 50mV, but seems like they got better seeing this link. I remembered wrong from a video from a brazilian hardcore overclocker:

 

The results from the RM550x can't be right, just 11mV, wtf? It's the lowest from Corsair, even lower than higher classes. Either way, I feel bad for not getting it instead

The CX600 is completely different from the CX450. They have similar names, but that's where the similarities end. 

The exact results for ripple vary with the different wattage versions of even the same PSU. 

11mV is very realistic. The 2018 version scored 9mV here.

The higher end PSUs are generally much older (especially the AX/i), and standards change. The RMx has in cable capacitors, so it would be sad if it didn't perform excellent for ripple.

Yeah, was searching about that, the TX650M does much better than the other TXMs. Well, I'm sad about my choice now, but it's working and I won't change, so yeah... We always learn more, if I knew what I know now, would've spent R$200 less on my SSD and R$80 more on the PSU. The price of not knowing.

[victorluisgr]

Somebody knows a good case with any resistance to dust, or just a overall good case to a max of $50?

[victorluisgr]

So, after some days researching my new gaming PC those are the full specs:

Case: Cooler Master - MasterBox MB600L ATX Mid Tower Case

Motherboard: Gigabyte - X470 AORUS ULTRA GAMING ATX AM4 Motherboard

CPU: AMD - Ryzen 5 2600X 3.6GHz 6-Core Processor

GPU: MSI - GeForce GTX 1060 6GB 6GB GAMING X Video Card

RAM: Team - Dark 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR4-2400 Memory

HDD: Seagate - Barracuda 2TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive

SSD: Samsung - 860 Evo 500GB 2.5" Solid State Drive

PSU: EVGA - SuperNOVA G3 750W 80+ Gold Certified Fully-Modular ATX Power Supply

 

So, there are any incompatibilities on those specs? Or would you recomend changing something here?

Get faster memory. 3000Mhz or higher.

You don't need 750W PSU. a 550W unit like a RM550x would be a better pick.

[victorluisgr]

Ryzen 5 handles 3000Mhz? Or even 3200Mhz?

[dizmo]

Faster RAM. Don't get the G3. Maybe an aftermarket cooler.

Don't buy anything until Black Friday.

Oh, thanks about reminding me of black friday. And about the ram, faster like how much? a 3200mhz is good or is it too much for a ryzen 5 2600x?

*shrugs* Can't remember what kits are good. The fact it matters makes me avoid AMD.
