I'm looking for feedback on my PC build that costs around $665. Here's the breakdown of the parts I've chosen:
- **CPU**: AMD Ryzen 5 5600 3.5 GHz 6-Core - $135.36
- **Motherboard**: Asus TUF GAMING A520M-PLUS II Micro ATX AM4 - Price not listed
- **Memory**: Kingston FURY Beast 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR4-3200 - $90.12
- **Storage**: Crucial P310 1 TB M.2 NVME SSD - $79.99
- **Video Card**: ASUS RTX 3070 8 GB, but I listed a similar one on part picker.
- **Power Supply**: Montech APX 650 W 80+ Certified - $51.20
Total Cost: $356.67, including prices, shipping, and taxes. I'm aware I can spend a bit more and still be under my max budget of $700. My goal is to run games at least at 60 FPS on high settings, but I don't need 4K; 1440p is fine. Any thoughts?

It looks like a decent build for the price! Just make sure you’re getting the GPU and motherboard for a good deal since those can really add up. Are you sourcing them retail or used? If you're getting the RTX 3070 used for about $229, that sounds like a steal! Just confirm that it's in good shape. Also, remember to check compatibility between the CPU and motherboard to ensure smooth performance. Overall, you're on the right track if you're aiming for solid performance at 1440p!
If your GPU and motherboard are retail at $73 for the motherboard and $229 for the GPU, you're still within your budget! Just double-check the specs to ensure they align with your gaming needs. It's great that you’re okay with 1440p and 60 FPS; this build should handle that well without issues. Plus, upgrading your SSD to the Samsung 990 EVO Plus could give you a nice speed boost if you decide to go that route! Just stick to your budget and you'll have a good machine.
