For a build around €900 to €950, you can consider a solid gaming PC setup.
I'm aiming to assemble a gaming PC within the €900-€950 budget (around $950). I might stretch the budget if it makes sense.
For my games—single player titles like Baldur's Gate III, Star Wars Jedi Survivor, Forza Motorsport, F1 23, Starfield, Cyberpunk 2077, and Hogwarts Legacy—I mainly want RPGs, racing, and action-adventure experiences, mostly at 1080p/60Hz. I can upgrade older titles to 4K if they run smoothly at 60fps, but 1080p is the priority.
I’m new to PC gaming and would appreciate some guidance.
CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 5600X 3.7 GHz 6-Core Processor (€138)
RAM: Not sure, but I’d recommend checking compatibility.
Memory: G.Skill Ripjaws V 32 GB (2 x 16 GB) DDR4-3600 CL16 Memory (€72)
Storage: Samsung 980 Pro 1 TB M.2-2280 PCIe 4.0 X4 NVME SSD (€68)
Video Card: ASRock Radeon RX6700XT CLD 12G Radeon RX 6700 XT 12 GB (€336)
Case: Corsair 4000D ATX Mid Tower Case (€75)
Power Supply: Corsair RM750 750 W 80+ Gold Certified Modular ATX (€125)
Total: around €814
I’m uncertain about the right amount of RAM. Most picks on PCpartpicker mention compatibility problems with this CPU if they’re using older BIOS versions. The case is a placeholder; I can’t find a 400D Airflow nearby, and NZXT H5 Flow costs €120, which feels high. But I’m open to spending more on the PSU if it’s necessary.
Could this CPU be a bottleneck for my GPU? Should I consider upgrading to something like the 5800X? And if everything seems off, feel free to propose an entirely different setup.
All AM4 motherboards claim this because the Ryzen 5000 line was launched without a new chipset. The AM4 500 series chipset came with the Ryzen 3000 lineup. Many 500 series boards will already have the BIOS updated, but it's possible some were built before the Ryzen 5000 drop. We're referring to a situation three years ago now.
The CPU and GPU pairing should work. There could be cases where your CPU is limited and you miss out on performance gains. The next best choice would be the 5700X. But if you invest that much, you might want to consider AM5 with DDR5. That would be more expensive, so sticking with the 5600X could be a cost-effective decision.
Maybe you were thinking about the RM750e power supply? The standard RM750 without the "e" or "x" is an older model. Any of them should work fine. The RMx version is superior, while the RMe is more budget-friendly. I suppose they probably chose a cheaper fan, but there might be other compromises in the RMe design as well. Still, it's a decent unit.
Case... I'm not very interested. Let someone else assist you with that.
Hey there,
Both RMX options look solid. They’re reliable components. The build quality is decent overall. The 5600x could be a minor issue at 1080p, but not a major problem. The CPU and GPU pair seems well-balanced, complementing each other nicely. This is especially true at 1440p, where the bottleneck moves from the CPU to the GPU.
This feature enables future upgrades to an i7 14700 CPU later.
Solid GPU and CPU options available.
PSU equipped with a 16-pin connector for upcoming GPU installations.
