I'm thinking about building a PC next year, but my English isn't great. I have a budget of $600, and I want to go with an Intel chip and an RTX graphics card. It's really important for me to have an efficient build, and if it can be in white, that would be awesome! Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thanks a lot!

Just a heads up, by next year, prices for parts could change a lot, so keep that in mind before buying anything now. It’s worth it to wait until you're closer to building.
I have a white NZXT case I'd be willing to send your way! Just cover the shipping, and I can throw in some fans and a fan controller too. Let me know if you're interested!
Prices for PC parts fluctuate quite a bit. It might be better to wait until you have enough money saved up to buy everything at once. By then, you might score a newer system since prices could drop or new parts will be out.
If you're set on an Intel chip and RTX, you'll probably need to buy used to get decent performance within that budget. For efficiency, maybe consider an Intel i5-12400 or i5-12400F, along with 2x8GB of 3200MHz RAM. The RTX 4060 might be a good option since it offers better efficiency than the 3060 at similar performance levels. Also, keep an eye out for prices in your area, especially since you're in Vietnam.

That's good advice about the components! Just make sure to check local prices and availability; it can really vary!
