Budget AMD AM5 Build

Hey guys! After taking a lot of opinions, I’ve decided to go with a AM5 build

DEEPCOOL PF550D POWER SUPPLY
COOLER MASTER HYPER 212 HALO BLACK ARGB CPU COOLER
AMD RYZEN 5 7600 PROCESSOR WITH RADEON GRAPHICS
MSI PRO B650-S WIFI MOTHERBOARD
CRUCIAL P3 PLUS 1TB PCIE GEN4 NVME M.2 SSD
KINGSTON FURY BEAST RGB 32GB (2X16GB) 6000MHZ DDR5 CL30 MEMORY - BLACK

I wish to have a cpu with igpu since I’ll be buying a dedicated graphic card after few months. Thinking of rtx 3060

For now, I wish to know if the parts I picked make sense. Any opinions are welcome!

Maybe I can do better with PSU?

All the part choices are good but I would recommend going with the Deepcool ak400 cooler, it is cheaper and has much better performance than the cooler master one you can checkout Gamers Nexus video on it. Also if wifi isn’t your biggest priority you should definitely go for the Gigabyte B650M DS3H [it is one of the best B650 motherboards](’

) in terms of performance even better than the ones much more expensive than it and LAN is always better than wifi in terms of network connectivity. If you really need wifi you should go for the Asrock B650M PG Lightning WiFi it is available right now at the [lowest price](’

Buy ASRock B650M PG Lightning WiFi Motherboard at Best Price in India only at Vedant Computers

) I have seen and also offers great performance. Rest everything seems good.

  1. Go for a cheaper board like this:
  1. Go for Ryzen 7700 instead and use the inbox cooler.
  2. Get this PSU

I do need wifi so I’ll be going with the wifi motherboard you suggested. Would you recommend any seller for Deepcool ak400, most reputed sellers I know have that out of stock

sure, here are the links:

Also I think you should go for a used 6700xt you can easily get one for about 20k and its about 20% faster than 3060 in most games and scenarios. Check this:

Here is a comparison:

Also don’t buy the 3060Ti because as soon you try and go to a higher resolution than 1080p it runs out of vram in some games but if you are dead set on playing cyberpunk with ray tracing you can go for it, there is pretty much no other way that the 3060ti beats the 6700xt in gaming. Here is a comparison for them also:

How much extra are you paying for the mobo with wifi? See if you can find a board without wifi that is cheaper.
You can get wifi dongle from reputed brands like TP Link such as these: [link](’

Amazon.in

The in-built wifi on the board is much better, and worth the price difference. The listed dongle is slow and outdated.

Also, Bluetooth which comes with the board is a plus, for peripherals such as keyboards and wireless controllers, without the need for an additional dongle, eating up a port.

Also remember that the asrock motherboard is only meant for a 65-120 watt cpu as it doesn’t have great vrms so if you upgrade your cpu to one with a higher power requirement like a 7800x3d in the future remember to upgrade your motherboard as well.

As others are saying, but a better psu. You can check Asrock b650m hdv mobo. It’s cheap but have good vram thermals. You also don’t need to buy separate cpu cooler. Included box cooler is plentiful.
