Budget PC Build Help for My Girlfriend (Around 600€)
Asked by
PixelatedNinja79
I'm looking to put together a budget PC for my girlfriend, and I'm aiming for around 600€. She has some specific requests: she wants the case to be all or partially white, it should be able to handle 1080p gaming at low settings with at least 60+ fps, and she insists on having an AIO cooler. Also, I'd like all the components to be brand new. Here's what I was considering for the build:
- Ryzen 5 8400F
- Sparkle A380 or RX 6500
- MSI Mag 650W 80+ Bronze
- Corsair Vengeance DDR5 2x16GB 5200 CL40
- Kingston NV3 SSD
- ASUS PRIME B650 A II CSM motherboard
- Mars Gaming ML-ONE cooler
- Montech AIR 903 base ATX mid-tower case
Does anyone have suggestions for improving this setup? Would switching to an AM4 socket be more cost-effective?
Answers
You might want to consider switching to AM4 and getting a Ryzen 5 5600 paired with either an RX 6600 or an RTX 3060 12GB. It could give you better performance and is worth looking into if you're trying to save a bit while upgrading the graphics.
