Budget building (roughly 1200$CAD)

[brazen hawk]

So im building a pc but im having a hard time choosing between AM4 or AM5, i would love it if some people could join a vc with me and we can talk about it and i can screen share my options to you or something

[coarse badger]

Won’t be able to do a vc, at least ATM, but what options are you considering?

hmmm go check canada computers and see what CPU + mobo combo they have

[brazen hawk]

they have a ryzen 5 9600x, a b650m wifi plus, and a 32gb DDR5 6000Mhz CL36 combo for 499,99$ CAD, thats my only option if i want to go for AM5 but the ram is a bit bad and the cpu+GPU combo is not balanced too well and i dont wanna spend more than 360$ on a gpu

[cursive tendon]

that couldnt be the only combo, could it

I have multiple pc lists saved on pcpartpicker and i think this'll be the best option for you in my opinion though

There are other options but it's up to you

[brazen hawk]

that only thats fits into my price range

[cursive tendon]

nothing cheaper?

[brazen hawk]

Sadly no

Take a look at the second hand market. Buy something solid that'a am5. Upgrade over time.

You're gonna let a whole lotta money to build something descent new for a reasonable price (nothing is priced reasonably)
