Creating a budget gaming setup under $600 – which components to choose now or later?
Creating a budget gaming setup under $600 – which components to choose now or later?
Every dollar equals 100000 in my currency. Water-cooling would be out of budget, deepcool AK500 was also suggested but the 620 halo came on top, another decent cooling option was too costly unfortunately. I'm not really focused on RGB, colors or appearance. It's just the best pieces available at those prices I think.

Was very useful in finalizing the components, though the motherboard is still pending and maybe we should rethink the case.
That's a good case though out of curiosity, which variant are you looking at? Go here;

and scroll all the way down to look at the 5 variants of the case. If you're looking at the atx version and pair that with an matx board, you will be left with empty spaces in your case. If you're deciding to get an atx motherboard, then the atx variant would be work. A meshed version would mean you have optimal airflow across your components in your case.
It was really pleasant receiving the PM I sent over. I had carefully reviewed each MoBo VRM setup and its ratings. Here’s the AMD chipset comparison:

I would recommend the X870 AsRock Pro RS because of its excellent 14+2+1 VRM setup and the inclusion of Dr.MOS, which enhances VRM performance.
Dr.MOS combines the driver and MOSFET into one package, boosting efficiency and lowering heat compared to separate units.
For the Pro RS model, the VRM rating isn’t listed, but it’s likely around 60A or 80A. As a X870 chipset, it offers more advanced features than other options.
The B850 Asus lineup with all three MoBos seems appealing, though customer support from Asus has recently declined. The B850 chipset lacks the robustness of the X870.
The B850’s customer service is currently poor, and its features are less impressive compared to the X870.
When selecting a PC case, it’s a personal decision. Just ensure the components fit properly. As mentioned in our discussion, 622 Halo reaches a height of 157mm.
