So i finally have the means to do a full system upgrade (minus rx 480) and here is what i have come up with:

Ryzen 2600X https://www.canadacomputers.com/product_info.php?cPath=4_1210_64&item_id=120459
DDR4 16GB Team T-Force Dark https://www.canadacomputers.com/product_info.php?cPath=24_311_1326&item_id=129181 may opt for RGB Team Group ram
M.2 SSD https://www.canadacomputers.com/product_info.php?cPath=179_1229_1296&item_id=123893
Gigabyte X470 Aorus https://www.canadacomputers.com/product_info.php?cPath=26_1207_1205_1505&item_id=121085
or
Gigabyte B450 Aorus Pro Wifi https://www.canadacomputers.com/product_info.php?cPath=26_1207_1205_1505&item_id=123696

I would like PSU advice and case suggestions (would like to keep the price of each component to ~$100 CAD)

Mobo may change depending on what is in stock and if i decide to order a board more to my liking. Is an x470 worth it over the B450 board i posted?

Would like to keep components to Canada Computers website as I have one in town and hate shipping times and customs
 
save $50 on case (still very decent,just needs a couple of fans added down the road)

get a better psu,that'll last you 10 years or more


get the 3600 like the man says,but the $50 extra for b-dies is not worth it.
 
You don't need the 3600x, just the 3600, which is still better than the 2600x.
 
Would like a case with a glass panel side and psu shroud ie. Nzxt h500. Psu looks solid tho.

What about motherboard? X470 or b450?
 
For the 3600? B450 is all that's needed for 6 cores.

Put the saved money into better ram and cpu.

then get this for $90

definitely b450 if that's what's required to save for 3600.
 
the 3600 is over $70 more than a 2600X. I'm on a fixed income so I'm really trying to keep costs as low as possible.

Case looks great. I think i will go with the 275R and the Seasonic PSU :)
 
It's really not.

Get As Rock instead of GIgabyte boards. The As Rock B450 Pro 4 or X470 Master SLI will be more satisfactory in the long run. I have found that Gigabyte boards add more voltage to the CPU and SOC than other boards The Team Force RGB RAM is actually cheaper at Newegg. In terms of a PSU Corsair make really good PSUs but make sure you get one with a 10 year warranty. If you can afford it then Seasonic does make sense.

then save a little on the case.save on b450 mobo.save on ram.

pretty case vs noticeably better cpu.you decide.
 
The Pro 4 looks good, will switch to that and see if the 3600 can squeeze in :)
 

this thing almost matches 8700K stock in gaming when oc'd.it outperforms a 2700 by 12% let alone a 2600.
you need dis man.

frankly if it clocked to 4.8ghz I'd sell my 5775c for it.
 
very nice.
 
what ssd are you using ?

Corsair force series mp300. Will get a better one down the line, will be moving my 240 data ssd and 1tb hdd to new build for now as well

okay drive,but you don't need nvme for a home/gaming build.
wd blue 3d is a great budget sata ssd,see if that looks like a bettter value option.
investing into high speed drives on ryzen doesn't pay off anyway.

i just kinda want an M.2 drive as ive never had one and my board does have 2 slots :) 480GB will be nice for OS and a few games

then a cheap one like mp300 is a good choice.it's still on toshiba's 64layer bics,does use slc and dram buffering too,just pci-e x2 and lower end controller.

btw here's the vrm tier list for b450/x470


seems like pro4 would do just fine but I'd get the b450-a pro.


also,check the price of ex900 drive too.

Look into Silicon Power P34A80, Corsair MP510, Sabrent Rocket, PNY CS3030
