You're looking at a solid setup with the Ryzen 5 2600 and RTX 2060. The B450 Aorus Pro should work well given your current configuration, especially since you're not overclocking the CPU and your GPU is already running above stock performance. Just ensure your cooling stays adequate for the RTX 2060 and consider monitoring temperatures during intense tasks.
What version do you currently use? Are you sure about these components already, or is this a fresh setup? This board seems expensive and average—should we consider a more affordable option? Location and currency details are also needed.
Your setup seems a bit unusual. Why are you getting a 2600 when the 3600 is available? Do you already have the 2600? The nh-d15 is a powerful cooler for high-end CPUs. You might be pairing it with the 2600 even though you don’t intend to overclock. For motherboards, gigabyte and ASUS B450 are average choices; consider ASUS or MSI if you decide to go with the 3600. If you switch to the 3600, the B550 would be a better option.
I already own the CPU and GPU, currently using a B450 Gaming Plus. I’m based in Italy, so payments will be in euros. I’m unsure if upgrading from a 2600 to a 3600 would provide better benefits for 1080p gaming.
The gaming plus offers 4 dimms. Unless you're referring to another device. If you're firm on a model, what's the cost? If you have enough RAM, unused space won't improve performance.
