Question My new pc build for review
Hi everyone! I build my budget PC because I want to upgrade my current one.
My budget is around 900$.
If you could check my setup and suggest improvements, I would really appreciate it! Thank you in advance!
My build: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/N2b6bL
(I plan to add an SSD from my old PC to the new one, so I’m using only 500 GB. In the future I’ll get M2 storage, but I’m limited by my low budget right now)
Peace out!
Slow single channel RAM negatively impacts performance.

CX750 2023 is a refurbished CV750. This power supply is unsuitable for this setup. Consider the alternative at https://pcpartpicker.com/product/jZ...ul...650g-bkcus
What components are present in your current computer? You might find more parts than you realize.
What purpose is this PC intended to serve?
How does your current setup fall short in performance?
Reflections on your hardware:
I usually avoid purchasing processors with a F suffix.
Switching to integrated graphics for a small cost often leads to problems when graphics are needed.
A cooler is affordable; using a K-based processor could improve results.
Alternatively, opt for one of the 65w models paired with a decent cooler, such as the I5-13400.
The power supply isn’t very reliable.
Recent titles require more than 16GB of RAM.
You’re fine with 16GB unless you’re doing multiple tasks while gaming.
Upgrading RAM later might not be feasible—matching specifications is essential.
I would recommend options such as improved mobo with stronger VRMs, a more robust SSD, and a GPU offering better value. The system comes with a 10-year warranty and a PSU that has never caused issues. The case includes fans and features a front panel design.

Check this card out. It's on sale, so you need to buy it within the next 21 hours for this price, I think.

The Thermalright cooler looks good as mentioned before.
I'm in agreement—get the better Z690 board and a better power supply.
Do you believe the RX GPU would make a better choice than Nvidia cards within that budget? (I usually go for Nvidia, but if the RX performs better here I’d choose it)
Regarding cooling, do you think a double cooler such as the Thermalright model is essential? I’m curious about that.
As for power supply, do you think a 650W unit would be insufficient?
I did some research and found that ATX motherboards with AM4 sockets are cheaper compared to those with 1700 socket for Intel. So, what AMD CPU would you suggest for better value and performance in main gaming?
AMD am4 will be roughly comparable to Intel's 12th Gen, with no clear upgrade route. If you create a new system using it, consider the 5700x3d or 5800x3d models. However, if you opt for an Intel 1700, you might eventually upgrade to a 15th Gen processor later. On the graphics side, here’s a comparison between the RX 6800 and the 4060 Ti. The RX 6800 is from the last generation but would likely be two or three generations ahead of the 4060 Ti. View: https://youtu.be/jGAxZ1SwyBg?feature=shared
Some adjustments were made to bring the cost down to $939. An extra $30 to $40 could be achieved through careful searching on eBay or by acquiring a used or refurbished boxed motherboard, which would save even more. I recommend considering a Z series motherboard for its future-proof PCI lanes and Gen 5 support. You’ll also get the latest DDR5 with 32GB of RAM.
