Is this a suitable PC build?
there aren't any obvious problems with the assembly. pay attention to the psu choices and avoid settling for a subpar unit. aim for at least 550w would be ideal. even if performance drops slightly, it could limit future upgrades requiring a new psu. without knowing other component alternatives, i'd consider this a solid build.
Welcome to the forums, newcomer!
Power Supply: 450W/500W 80+ Power Supply (EVGA, Corsair, Apex)
Why are there multiple brands listed? Could you clarify the exact make and model of the PSU you're considering?
RAM: 32GB DDR4-3600 (Non RGB) (2 sticks)
Do you have a link to the RAM kit?
I think I’d prefer building a system with Corsair or NZXT. The brand you mentioned seems similar to Artesian builds.
With the funds you're investing, you should achieve performance surpassing an RX 6600xt. Currently it serves as a solid 1080p gaming setup, though I doubt it can sustain 144fps in newer titles within a few years. The 5600x model doesn’t really require a 240mm aio cooler—it performs adequately with the built-in cooler when voltage settings are adjusted. As for the "Apex" management, overclocking, and antivirus software, does this seem like a bundled offer? It appears excessive; consider directing your budget toward upgrading the GPU itself.
if you share the available choices, we can at least determine the best option. another choice would be to select the most affordable one and purchase a higher-quality unit yourself. this might not be ideal, but I've done it before with a few pre-built models some friends ordered. we simply chose the cheap "freebie" PSU and replaced it once it arrived.
CPU options include AMD Ryzen 5 5600X with 6 cores at 3.7 GHz (32% quicker than 4100), AMD Ryzen 5 5500 6-core at 4.2 GHz (18% faster than 4100), and several cooler choices such as Apex 240MM AIO, Asus Ryujin II, Apex 120MM, 120MM tower coolers, and more.
The motherboard selections cover AsRock A520M-HDV, Asus TUF Gaming A520M, Asus B550-F Gaming Strix, and various RAM configurations including 16GB DDR4-3600 (non-RGB), 16GB DDR4-4000 Nighthawk (RGB), 32GB DDR4-3600 (non-RGB), 32GB DDR4-4000 Nighthawk (RGB), and others.
GPU recommendations range from Intel Arc A750 (135% faster than GTX 1650) to AMD Radeon RX 6600 XT (149% faster), NVidia GeForce RTX™ 3050 (75% faster), RTX 4060 (181% faster), and RX 6700 XT (184% faster).
Storage options feature a 2TB SSD, multiple 500GB NVMe drives, 1TB SATA SSD, and various capacities up to 3.5TB, with performance noted in MB/s ranges.
Power supplies available are 450W/500W 80+ models from EVGA, Corsair, and Apex, as well as 750W 80+ Bronze, 750W 80+ Platinum variants.
