I'm trying to build a gaming PC that can run at high-ultra settings with a target of 75 fps max. Here are the parts I've picked that I think are the best options within my budget. Can you let me know if there's anything that's particularly bad or incompatible?
- GPU: Gigabyte Radeon RX 7600 GAMING OC 8G
- CPU: Ryzen 5600X
- Motherboard: Gigabyte A520M DS3H V2 AM4
- Storage: SSD M.2 Samsung NVMe 980 1TB
- RAM: 3600 CL18 RAM Kingston Fury Beast 2x16GB
- Case: ATX Micro Case Deepcool MATREXX 30
- PSU: 550W Sharkoon WPM Gold ZERO 80 Plus GOLD
I've also updated my RAM and PSU since the initial post.

This build looks decent overall, but there are a few things to consider. The Ryzen 5600X is great, but if you can find the regular 5600, it’s almost the same performance and could save you around $15-20. Also, I’d suggest going for a B550 motherboard instead of the A520. It offers better support for PCI-E Gen 4 and has more flexible options for upgrades in the future.
For the SSD, Samsung drives are typically priced higher, so check out alternatives like the WD SN5000 for potentially better prices. Your RAM choice is solid; just keep in mind that 3600 CL18 RAM could offer a slight performance boost in CPU-heavy games, especially with Ryzen setups.
Last point: be cautious with your power supply. The Sharkoon WPM Gold doesn’t have the best reputation. A more reliable PSU from a reputable brand with a solid warranty can save you headaches down the line.
Just a heads up, if you’re spending around 700 Euros (or 800 USD), you might want to compare prices for the components. Electronics can be really pricey where I live too. Making some strategic swaps can really help stretch your budget. Also, ensure all parts are compatible with each other, especially the PSU and motherboard with the CPU.
Appreciate the heads up! Prices are definitely high over here, but I’m trying to find the best deals.
Thanks for the tips! I made some changes based on your suggestions. I updated the RAM to the Kingston Fury Beast 3600 CL18 like you mentioned. Unfortunately, the B550 motherboards and regular Ryzen 5600 CPUs are pretty much impossible to find around here.
