[fleet lake]

My friend wants to build his first computer, i'm helping him put together a list, any recommendations please!!!!! Much appreciated
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/9Pr4Xy

budget is $1000 pre-tax

he dosnt care much about rgb as long as there is lighting from the fans included in the list

i didnt really know what CPU, GPU combo to go with, (whether going last gen or current gen)

[fleet lake]

[fleet lake]

thanks for telling me!

6600xt is better than the 3060 in gaming and is slightly cheaper

[fleet lake]

any specific brand to consider?

i dont know my AMD GPU brands

[lunar fog]

the x version of the cpu is like 2% better than the regular 5 5600 so its not worth the extra 30 bucks

brands dont really matter much tbh

theres little different between them

[fleet lake]

i mainly chose X for the bigger cooler?

is that also not worth the extra money?

[lunar fog]

i do not know how much better the cooler is so idk

but the stock cooler for 5 5600 should be more than fine tbh

[fleet lake]

ok, sweet definitely will look into it

[lunar fog]

motherboard is very overpriced tbh

[fleet lake]

this one looks pretty good?

ye its fine

[fleet lake]

true, i honestly just went with a tomahawk for the easy bios flash just in case

should all b550s support 5000 series out of the box by now?

[lunar fog]

its got bios flashback? i thought mobos with bios flashback shouldnt have that compatibility warning in pcpp

[fleet lake]

yea, its weird i thought the same

[lunar fog]

everything else is ok tbh

[fleet lake]

ok sick, I will change the GPU for sure

NVIDIA been taking a lot of L's recently huh?

[lunar fog]

for storage you could go with something like a mp33 thats way cheaper for gaming the ssd speeds dont matter much aslong as its a ssd

[fleet lake]

should it be just as reliable?

[lunar fog]

yes mp33 is very popular

[fleet lake]

ok nice

thanks bro, you've been very helpful

[lunar fog]

id wait a bit before buying so that you can get a second opinion on the build just incase

[fleet lake]

for sure, he isnt planning on purchasing anythin till next week 👍

damnnn

6600xt is right along a 2070 super

i got my 2070 super for like 600 at the time

sheesh

6650XT prices are almost identical

would it be worth it going foe one of those?
