Hey everyone! I'm diving into the world of PC building and have come up with a budget setup for my first build. Here's what I've got so far:
- CPU: Ryzen 5 5600x with Wraith Stealth fan for about 135 euros
- GPU: Radeon RX 6600 8GB for 210 euros
- Motherboard: MSI B550M PRO-VDH WiFi at 105 euros
- RAM: Corsair Vengeance RGB PRO 2x16GB DDR4 3200MHz for 70 euros
- Power Supply: Tacen Mars 550W 80Plus Bronze for 45 euros
- SSD: Crucial E100 1TB NVMe M.2 for 60 euros
- Case: ADATA Valor Air Plus mid tower for 55 euros
Total comes to around 680 euros. I'm looking for any advice or suggestions to improve this build if possible!

You might want to consider getting an aftermarket cooler. If you can spare a bit more cash, the Peerless Assassin 120 is an awesome choice. If you're on a tighter budget, the DeepCool AG400 is pretty decent for around $15!
Before I give my suggestions, I’d appreciate knowing a bit more about your needs:
1. Which country are you in?
2. What will you mainly use the PC for? (like gaming, work, etc.)
3. What's your total budget?
4. Any size or noise constraints?
5. Color or lighting preferences?
6. Do you need a new monitor?
7. Any need for new peripherals?
A few tips:
- If the non-X version of the 5600 is cheaper, go for that.
- Your RAM seems pricey; if you can, try to grab a brand that's not Silicon Power.
- You absolutely need a quality power supply. Aim for at least 650W C tier. I recommend checking this PSU tier list for guidance.
- Also, shop around for your NVMe; some models can save you cash without sacrificing performance.
I’d definitely recommend swapping out the PSU. MarsGaming isn't known for reliability. A Corsair CX550 would be a much safer bet, especially for the long term.
