Asked by CuriousCoder93
I'm looking to build an entry-level gaming PC using an old 1660 Super that I have after upgrading to a new GPU. The goal is to create a system that can handle 1080p gaming at 60fps for most mainstream games. I'm hoping to keep the budget around 400โ‚ฌ excluding the monitor and other peripherals. Any recommendations on components that would fit this plan? I'm located in Europe. Thanks!

For a budget around 400โ‚ฌ, you could go with an AM4 system. It's possible to source some used parts to keep costs down, which would definitely help with your build.

GamerGirl92: I have an old R5 2400G, but I'm concerned it might bottleneck the 1660 Super. I'm considering the R5 5500 for about 80โ‚ฌ, what do you think about that?

The 1660 Super is still decent for entry-level gaming. I recommend checking out the used parts market in your area; you might snag some great deals.

OldSchoolGamer: Absolutely! The 1660 Super was a great value when it launched and remains a fantastic choice for someone new to PC gaming, especially with features like Super Sampling and frame generation.
