In a hurry, double check this for me?
In a hurry, double check this for me?
My friend is eager to purchase a computer, and I've put together this list. He's ready to buy it now. Before you approve, just make sure everything looks good. I think there are no problems, but time is limited.
PCPartPicker has compiled the parts:
- CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 3600 3.6 GHz 6-Core ($199.99)
- Motherboard: MSI B450 TOMAHAWK MAX ATX AM4 ($112.99)
- Memory: Corsair Vengeance LPX 16 GB DDR4-3600 ($64.98)
- Storage: Samsung 970 Evo 500 GB M.2-2280 ($59.99)
- Drive: Seagate Barracuda Compute 2 TB ($54.48)
- Case: NZXT H510 ATX Mid Tower ($69.98)
- Video Card: EVGA GeForce GTX 1660 SC ULTRA ($239.99)
- Power Supply: Corsair CX 450W ($49.99)
All prices shown are before shipping, taxes, rebates, and discounts. Total comes to $862.39, minus a $10 mail-in rebate for a final total of $852.39.
This model suffers from bad ventilation. For better value, consider a 1660 super and a b550 Pro4.
Created an improved selection. The 1660 super model isn’t the top choice, so a straightforward dual fan 1660 would also fit. PCPartPicker lists the following items:
Processor: AMD Ryzen 5 3600 3.6 GHz 6-core @ $199.99 (Best Buy)
Motherboard: ASRock B550M Pro4 Micro ATX AM4 @ $89.99 (Newegg)
Memory: Corsair Vengeance LPX 16 GB DDR4-3600 CL18 @ $64.98 (Amazon)
Storage: Samsung 970 Evo 500 GB M.2-2280 NVME @ $59.99 (Amazon)
Hard Drive: Seagate Barracuda Compute 2 TB 3.5" 7200RPM @ $54.48 (Newegg)
Video Card: GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER 6 GB @ $239.94 (Office Depot)
Case: Fractal Design Meshify C ATX Mid Tower @ $77.98 (Newegg)
Power Supply: Corsair CX 450W ATX @ $49.99 (Newegg)
All prices reflect current listings with shipping, taxes, and discounts included.
It has a nice appearance, and even those less familiar with it often consider it a strong example since it appears at the top of the PCP Case list.
For that GPU, I’d opt for a more affordable CPU like a 2600. That way, he might be able to invest in a superior GPU later.
