Thanks for the update Luke! @razersurf If Luke says the PSU isn't sufficient to rely on with the 1060, we face safety and power issues. To maintain your CPU without replacing everything immediately, setting a budget for a GPU and PSU upgrade makes sense. If you can afford something like the RX 5700 from Sapphire, pair it with a suitable PSU here: https://pcpartpicker.com/product/FdRFf7/...9020121-na You'll be ready for the next steps.

Edit: I just found out you're in Norway. For that region, this PSU is a better choice than what you'd buy locally: https://no.pcpartpicker.com/product/dDH4...9020133-na

chiefly the focus is on understanding how components wear down more quickly at higher voltages. This PSU seems designed to avoid such issues based on the details I’ve shared earlier.

This applies only to the 3700x, not the 3700. They updated the naming for the third generation; the 3700 is the 65W model and offers better value. The 3800 is the next after the 2700x and should be around 105W. Keep in mind these power ratings aren't very precise.

I've gathered a list of needed parts now. Was the selection good? Your feedback is appreciated—it really helps. I'm purchasing in Norway, and the costs here seem much higher than what you charge. The overall cost for these items in Norway comes to 710 USD. PCPartPicker has compiled this list on 2019-12-14 at 16:53 EST.

PCPartPicker offers a Norway-specific selection so it only shows Norwegian sellers. This helps point you toward the optimal components for your area (unless someone can ship these from the US at a reasonable cost). Here’s a simplified version of what I’m suggesting:

- CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 3600 3.6 GHz, 6 cores (price: kr2246.00 @ CDON NO)
- Motherboard: MSI X470 GAMING PLUS MAX ATX AM4 (kr1499.00 @ CDON NO) – look for MSI B450 or newer with "MAX" in the name
- RAM: 16 GB DDR4-3200 (kr844.76 @ Newegg Norway)
- Storage: ADATA XPG SX8200 Pro 1 TB M.2-2280 NVMe (kr1652.00 @ CDON NO)
- PSU: Corsair TXM Gold 550 W, 80+ Gold certified (kr809.00 @ CDON NO)

Cost comes to around kr7050.76, including shipping and taxes. This list was made on PCPartPicker December 14, 2019 at 23:00 CET+0100.
