I'm looking to upgrade my PC build and wanted to get some opinions on my selected components. Here's what I'm considering:
- ASRock B450M Steel Legend Motherboard
- AMD Ryzen 5 5500
- Radeon RX 6650 XT (getting it for free from a friend)
- 16 GB DDR4 RAM
- Powerspec 650W Power Supply (already owned)
- 2 SATA Drives (1.4 TB and 120 GB, also already owned)
- Allied Gaming AIO Cooler
- upHere 360mm case fan
- Arctic P12 120mm Case Fan
The total cost for everything except the GPU is around $272.94 before shipping and taxes. What do you guys think?

The motherboard and CPU combo sounds solid, especially for gaming and multitasking. Just make sure the motherboard supports the RAM speed you want. Also, getting the GPU for free is a huge win! You might want to check the compatibility with your case and cooling setup, though.
$272.94 for the other parts sounds reasonable, especially with a free GPU. Just ensure your power supply is sufficient for everything, and double-check reviews on the AIO cooler. It's great that you're reusing parts to save costs!
Good point! I've already got a 650W supply, which should be enough, but I'll research more on that cooler. Thanks!
Thanks for the input! The specs seem to match well with my case size, but I'll double-check the cooler compatibility.
