Recently, I shared a discussion about initiating my own computer construction project, given that my existing laptop consistently operates at maximum capacity. Consequently, I've been accumulating funds to acquire most of the necessary components – specifically, graphics cards remain relatively costly due to their previous use in cryptocurrency mining. I’m now left with only the enclosure needed to house everything.

Below is my planned build, and I would appreciate any feedback regarding the power supply or memory. I eagerly anticipate responses:

MB: ASRock B450 Gaming K4 Fatal1ty
RAM: Kingston Predator DDR4 16GB (2x8 kit) at 3200MHz with CL16 timings
CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 2600
SSD: Samsung 860 500GB
PSU: Cooler Master Vanguard 1000, 80+ Gold (I believe I overspent on this unit; the vendor was particularly keen to make a sale)
GPU: I’m considering either an RX590 or holding off for another month to see if I can acquire an RTX 2060. A seller suggested the V1000 for the RTX card, but recommended an Hx750i for the RX590 – though there was a price difference of approximately 10-13 euros at my local retailer.
Case: I was initially considering the NZXT H550, but it’s somewhat pricey. I’m unsure whether it includes an all-in-one liquid cooler and don't want to spend 80 euros on a case that might not be particularly valuable.

This power supply unit is quite respectable, even though Cooler Master products are frequently discouraged for PC gaming builds. I appreciate NZXT’s cases, and that doesn't present a problem – I purchased one for my son. You can find detailed information about available models and their specifications on their online platform. I also enjoy Phanteks’ case designs. A solid, contemporary graphics card can operate effectively with a 600-700 watt PSU, while a 1000 watt unit is typically only necessary for advanced multi-card configurations. A 2060 graphics card can run successfully with a high-quality 500 watt PSU, and the 2070 is best paired with a 550 watt unit.

This power supply unit is dependable, even though Cooler Master products are frequently discouraged for gaming computers. I appreciate NZXT’s cases, which resolves that concern since I purchased one for my son. You can find details about available models and specifications on their online platform. I also favor Phanteks’ case designs. A system utilizing a solid contemporary graphics card can operate effectively with a 600-700 watt power supply; however, a 1000-watt unit is generally unnecessary for systems featuring two high-performance video cards. A 2060 graphics card can typically function with a quality 500-watt power supply, while the 2070 is best supported by a 550-watt unit.
