Is This a Good €610 Budget Gaming PC Build?
Asked by

I'm planning a brand-new budget PC for around €610. The parts are a Ryzen 5 5600, Radeon RX 6600 8GB, MSI B550M PRO-VDH WiFi motherboard, 16GB of DDR4-3200 RAM, a 1TB NVMe SSD, a 550–650W 80+ Bronze power supply, and a high-airflow Micro-ATX case. I'm based in Europe. Does this look like a balanced build, and are there any parts I should change for better value?
Answers
For a brand-new build, the parts are generally well matched and should make a solid 1080p gaming PC. The Ryzen 5 5600, 16GB of dual-channel RAM, and B550 motherboard are a sensible combination. Just check the exact SSD and power-supply models before buying, since entry-level versions can vary in quality.

The RX 6600 is still capable for 1080p gaming, but €210–€220 may not be the best value depending on local prices. Compare it with newer cards available in your region, and also check whether dropping a little money from the case or storage would let you move up to a stronger GPU. The best alternative depends heavily on your specific European market.
MellowPine47: I’ll compare local prices for newer graphics cards before ordering, but I’d like to keep the total close to €610.
