any particular tips you're looking for?

#

if you're looking for part recommendations, Western Digital is fine, but Sabrent Rocket makes a better drive in my opinion.

#

Ive used the same CPU motherboard and RAM, they all work well.

#

The GPU is based on your needs and budget ofcourse

#

The case is a personal choice, just lookup reviews and see if its easy to build in or not.

#

I would suggest a modular power supply, maybe seasonic if its within the budget.

#

fans are just fans, just make sure they fit in your case.

#

The one thing i dont see on there is a CPU cooler, so ill recommend the EK AIO, whichever size fits in your case.

How are you planning to use your laptop as your monitor? I don't know of any laptop that has a HDMI-in port, they only have HDMI out

Mate this is clearly a budget build and your suggests are a modular seasonic, an aio for a cpu that doesn't need it and a sabrent rocket ssd??????

Anyway unless they're editing ssd speeds don't matter past gen 3 and choice of nvme isn't really important besides maybe dram cache

#

5600 can be cooled fine with the stock cooler but if you want something a bit better you can get a thermalright 20 dollar one

#

And seasonic is fine they just are overpriced and aren't even the best psus on the market

#

Should just look at the psu tierlist

#

Msi mag is fine for that build though

#

A modular power supply, brand aside, would still be a quality of life improvement that shouldn't have an impact on the price much.

The cheapest modular/semi modular that isn't a bomb is like 70 dollars more

#

its possible the pricing where you are is different btw

#

I'm using pcpartpicker? They set their country

small frost
#

I think the OP is not in the US, I am, so i have no idea of the pricing there

compact ridge
#

They literally sent an Australian pcpartpicker link

small frost
#

yeah i know

compact ridge
#

linuth so you can see Australian prices

#

ok, well regardless we still dont know the budget. I dont make a habit of shopping for people overseas so forgive me for not going the extra mile. Im just giving them options.

#

PC Part Picker also isnt the most reliable source for pricing, its pretty often wrong, and I dont know what their shopping options are there. So I just go with what I know.

#

Yeah its a decent build, just make sure you're getting the most bang for your buck. If you can find a modular PSU in budget thats good, it would make the building experience easier.

#

Happy building

have a good one
