Is my pc build okay?
Hello,
I intend to assemble this computer for moderate gaming and do not plan to push my system’s performance beyond its limits.
Will my configuration be suitable?
Ryzen 5 3600
MSI B450M Mortar Max
AMD Radeon RX 5600xt
2 x 8gb Kingston HyperX Fury 2666mhz
Barracuda 1tb HDD
Gigabyte 500watts PSU
Memory performance is a significant factor, and a minimum speed of 3200MHz is recommended, with 3600MHz being ideal. The power supply unit's quality is also important, and there are typically superior alternatives available, such as the Corsair CX550 or CX550M, particularly in the United States or Canada.

This could be the power supply you’re examining. It represents a significant upgrade with 384 watts of power. The manufacturer has created its own certification, asserting “provides up to 80 percent energy effectiveness,” despite the established 80+ standard, dating back to 2004, which mandates “more than 80 percent energy effectiveness.” I would not purchase it; instead, follow Richie’s recommendation.
