Is this good or should i get like a used gpu or cpu or anything else

 

[maxfly]

If you can find one, this PSU is what I would go with.

The rest seems fine. If you're planning on gaming, always get the best GPU you can afford is my only advice.

[DrCR]

Friend don’t let friends buy thermaltake.

For the drive, you can get much better quality for just a few more dollars.

 

[Count von Schwalbe]

Bear in mind that you can get a 5500 and a B450 for somewhat less, and the extra two cores can come in handy. I believe Techspot did a review comparing them, and the 5500 held its own quite well.

Why are you buying arctic mx-4, take that off your order. the vetroo v5 will come with its own paste that will work just fine.

i wouldn't recommend a cheap Gigabyte mobo... get something else. MSI or ASRock have good budget priced boards.

get a cheap Corsair PSU.

... I would save up a little bit more money and find a good sale on a 6600 xt or 6700 xt instead of the 6600 as well. if you want longevity at 1080p.

thermal paste for brother

 

[Count von Schwalbe]

Looking a little closer at the TechSpot review, I would recommend the R5 5600 with the AsRock Phantom Gaming 4. This was tested with the 6650 XT, and it improved both averages and 1% lows (more important, IMO).

Also, the thermal paste is not necessary. I believe you get a tube of TF7 - I did with the PA120SE from Thermalright.

 

[2060]

is the 6700XT worth getting over the 6650 XT it cost 100$ more

thermal paste for brother

The psu you have listed is an overpriced paperweight that will not be enough to power your build. That cooler comes with a small tube of thermal paste so don't waste your money on the Arctic MX-4. btw 500GB fills up fast hence the reason I linked a 1TB SSD for the same price.

Should i go with a i3 13100F/i5 12400F or 5600/5600X

 

[Count von Schwalbe]

I would skip the 13100F. Games are moving to a much more multi-threaded model, and the 13100 will run out of cores pretty quickly.

Both the 12400F and 5600 are good choices with similar performance; the 5600 is a little cheaper.

 

[P4-630]

i5 12400F

If you go intel, I would avoid going with an "F" CPU if you don't have a spare working dedicated GPU.
It's always nice to have a iGPU in case you need it.

[Count von Schwalbe]

Looks good to me. I would say that it is a quite balanced build.

 

[P4-630]

I would go intel...

 

[dgianstefani]

You don't need to spend money on aftermarket cpu coolers or pastes.

Use the stock cooler and get 32 GB of RAM.

Intel 12/13th gen is better for gaming than Zen 3 unless its the X3D.

 

[Count von Schwalbe]

Intel 12/13th gen is better for gaming than Zen 3 unless its the X3D.

12400F is 0.9% better average at 720p, compared to 5600. Not worth the premium IMHO.
