Checking Ryzen 5 3600XT compatibility with budget smartphones.
Unclear about the choice of NVME; a standard setup with 2x8GB RAM at 3200MHz seems more practical.
well different motherboards come with different feature sets as well as different VRM phases. the more quality the VRMs, the more smoother, cooler and better your components will run. with a higher priced motherboard, you get better VRM solutions, VRM cooling with heatsinks, multiple m.2 slots, better I/O, wifi, etc. the low price ones generally lack most/all of these. the b450 tomahawk is a relatively mid ranger board, it offers excellent VRMs, and can easily run your 3600XT, though im not sure why youre putting a nvme drive in a budget build. m.2 sata or regular sata should fit your budget and fulfil your needs. i would get 16 gigs of RAM, as thats the recommended minimum for gaming and similar tasks.i dont get why youre getting a 3600XT, a 3600 or 3600X should do, youre just getting higher clocks there. id suggest waiting for zen3 and ampere to release (new gen ryzen cpus and nvidia gpus). that way, you could probably get a better cpu for the same price of the 4th generation cpus, as well as either get a new 3000 series ampere gpu, or a used 2060 or 2060super for the same price
you can achieve significantly higher performance at the same cost by using a 3600, standard SSD, 2x8GB RAM, and a more powerful GPU.
Simple switches. Poor switches won't let the board run properly, especially with more cores. This offers much better switches and power sections. A proper cooling solution is essential. Avoid low-cost boards. First, choose a 3600 non-xt model to save money and possibly get a better GPU. For the board, go for the Tomahawk Max, Mortar Max, or Pro 4. These will handle higher numbers without issues.
support tofu, don’t go cheap on your mobile. take a lesson by getting an ASUS H110M-K. that device just keeps failing after the warranty ends. audio issues, ram slot problems. you could spend 3700 with a 3600 model or get a better graphics card for 3600/3300.
@thirdparty @TofuHaroto @Shimejii @xg32 @PoopThatTookAPee Thank you all very much for your input. Was going to wait for new GPUs to drop, but I thought Zen3 was going to be awhile? Either way I'll go for the 3600 (I was under the impression that they were still the same price as the XTs), probably get a little better of GPU, and upgrade the ram to 16gb. Still getting an NVME M.2 as everywhere I look they are the same price as regular SSDs rn??? And as for the mobo, I won't be cheaping out as per reccomendation. Will probably get a Tomohawk but I'll compare the list given first. Thanks again for the help guys, tremendously helpful and knowledgable as usual around here!
