I'm trying to put together a decent gaming PC for playing Baldur's Gate 3 and Call of Duty without breaking the bank. Here's what I have so far based on my research:
- **CPU**: Ryzen 5 5500
- **RAM**: G.Skill Ripjaws V 16GB (2x8) 3600MHz
- **Storage**: WD Blue SN5000 1TB NVMe
- **Case**: FOIFKIN F1 case with 6 fans
- **Power Supply**: Corsair CX650M 650W
- **GPU**: GTX 1660 Super (used)
If anyone has suggestions or advice on this build, I'd really appreciate it! I'm looking for a balance between performance and budget.

Honestly, the GTX 1660 Super is getting a bit outdated for the latest games. You might want to look for a used RTX 2070 Super or even a 3060 if your budget allows. Those would give you a much better performance for both Baldur's Gate 3 and Call of Duty.
Your CPU and RAM are solid, but I'd recommend upgrading to a Ryzen 5 5600 and a B550 motherboard. For the GPU, aim for at least an RX 6600 8GB to ensure you can handle the graphics smoothly. The rest of your components seem fine!
Got it! Thanks for the GPU tip! How does the rest of my build look?
