I considered getting a PC equipped with the latest 300 series GPUs. I chose a white color scheme with black accents. I looked for affordable motherboards and found the Steel B450 to be a good option. I wasn't sure if pairing it with a PIC Gen 4 would work well with the new GPUs. I also wanted to avoid Micro ATX parts from PCPartPicker. The ASRock B450 Steel Legend AM4 board was priced reasonably at $109.99 on B&H, and the Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro 16 GB RAM set at $89.94 seemed like a solid choice. The SSD and case listings were also reviewed for value.

A steel legend would be suitable

For this price you can get the MSI B550 Pro VDH WiFi. Whoops, didn't see the no micro ATX part. This board remains superior unless you require the additional PCIe slot. If you prefer a more expensive ATX option, the MSI B550 A Pro is a solid choice. Edited September 9, 2020 by marmour

Budget for a board looks solid—Gen 3 should handle the 3080. Still, how much should we spend on a board? The steel option seems too expensive for IRS VRM. Need to figure out the build cost and pick the right PSU. Edited September 9, 2020 by TofuHaroto

I picked it mainly because of its appearance. Do you have any B450 options in mind?

The full project budget should align with a B550m pro VDH and a B450a Pro Max, which typically fits within that range and offers better performance. Still, it’s important to consider the overall cost of the build and select an appropriate power supply unit.

Budget for the entire build is about 1200, aiming for around 1250 at most. I previously used a Coolor Master 650W PSU, but I wasn’t sure if it was worth keeping. Now I’m considering staying under budget rather than pushing it too far.

The PSU you're referring to is likely a power supply unit. PCPartPicker provides a list of components and their prices, including this item. For the case options, alternatives like 500DX or p300A are suggested, along with fan upgrades for better cooling. If you want a higher-end upgrade, options such as RXMX, TXM, Revolution D.F., Ion+, AMP, Focus GM, straight power, MWE Gold, or Pure Power 11 are recommended. The 3070 PSU should cost around $1200.

You're asking about some technical details. The 3600x has a higher clock speed (3.8 GHz) compared to the R5 3600, which might affect performance. Regarding taxes, PC part picker should show sales tax if it's included. As for RAM, you can usually swap in different types, including white RAM, unless there are compatibility issues. Don’t worry—it’s normal to feel confused at first!

It's just a pricier package that won't improve performance much. You might be able to get by with it, though. A CPU's value goes beyond just clock speeds—it's a $10 gap that doesn't really add up. Honestly, it works fine.
