Optimize your Ryzen 5 setup with these tips.
Optimize your Ryzen 5 setup with these tips.
The temperatures on Ryzen can sometimes be higher than Intel, but the gap isn't huge. You're safe using the boxed cooler or Wraith Prism cooler, just avoid pushing the CPU too far. With your GPU setup, you're well-prepared for VR in the future, and the CPU also performs nicely.
PC World lists the item for £280, though it’s out of stock. My earlier post from CCL Online was priced at £554.99, but it didn’t include 3600MHz RAM. I’m considering the box fan cooler option to stay within budget.
I believe the stock cooler works well for you. You can upgrade to an AIO later if you wish. The main drawback is it can get a bit noisy sometimes, which depends on your comfort level. For my Ryzen 3400G it doesn’t sound too loud. If you're looking for a budget aftermarket option, the Cooler Master Hyper 212 is a solid choice.
This BeQuiet cooler receives positive feedback, but I haven't personally tested it with the Ryzen 5000 lineup yet. You'd need to check reviews. It's likely there are RAM options exceeding 3200mhz. Have you considered the Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro? It's a bit pricier.

This is where I am now. It might be a slightly smaller cooler, but I’m happy to go with it. The PCPartPicker Part List shows a selection of items, including the AMD Ryzen 5 5600X 3.7 GHz 6-core processor priced at £329.99 with a limited box offer. The Dark Rock Pro 4 50.5 CFM CPU cooler is available for £72.72 at CCL Computers. The MSI MPG B550 GAMING PLUS ATX AM4 motherboard is listed at £129.99 with a box price of £88.24 for 16 GB DDR4-3600 CL16 memory. All prices on Amazon UK include shipping, taxes, rebates, and discounts, bringing the total to £620.94. This entry was generated by PCPartPicker on March 16, 2021 at 14:57 GMT+0000. More than I expected to pay—it also meant keeping it a secret from my wife.
The motherboard is a solid option. For RAM, another person suggested 3600MHz is preferable, though it's only slightly higher than 3200MHz. I recommend opting for the quickest RAM available unless the cost increase is significant. The Be Quiet model you mentioned seems decent but a bit pricey. Initially, you were considering the MSI AIO, which is marginally more costly. The price in GBP would depend on the retailer; you might want to buy it directly or wait and use a stock cooler if you don’t plan to overclock. For RAM alternatives, check these links: the first one and the second one provide good options. Remember, the model you found offers excellent value for its price.
