Building My 1st PC- Step 2 Ordering The Parts

in #pc3 years ago

I've hit the next step of the build a PC process, this time its the step of ordering the parts. My final list wasn't exactly what I posted. I did end up changing quite a bit as we learned more about the Ryzen 5000's CPUs and I changed things to work better to work better within my budget and I can get new stuff to upgrade to in the future.

Couple of the parts I changed:

The Ram

I went for a 16 GB kit of 3600 Corsair Vengance RGP PRO RAM. Some reviewers are saying Ryzen 5600X performs better with 4 sticks than two. I want 32 gigs and so I went with a kit of this and I'll get another one soon in the future. I went with the white look because it looks cool and the RGB isn't bad looking at all.

The Power Supply

I got a really cheap power supply for now. The Thermaltake Smart 500W 80+ White. It'll get the job done as the GPU I have currently selected isn't very powerful and this will cost me just 30 bucks. I'd want to get the white corsair 850W one which is around $150 soon into the future when I upgrade the GPU.

The CPU And Motherboard

Now these are the only parts I haven't ordered yet. Mainly because I can't find the 5600X in stock. Once I find that in stock If I can't find it in stock in the next few days, I might get a previous gen ryzen 5 and the motherboard that I had selected in the previous post. If I do find it in stock, I'll be getting a x570 board(they support ryzen 5000 series already). I hope to have all the parts within the next one and a half week and to get building then.

Hope you get them soon. Building one myself might cost more than buying one here

Thank you, ordered a MB(and picked it up) today and went with the 3600X for now.
