hi everyone, i'm looking to buy a prebuilt pc around autumn, so i've got lots of time to make any changes to the final build. i know a bit of stuff about pcs but not really the technical side of things. i would like to know if all of these parts are compatible, and if you guys think this would make a decent build. i currently have an acer nitro 5 with a intel i5 10th gen and rtx 3050 so im looking for a big upgrade, thanks!
#Is this pc build compatible? What tier would you rank it?

thank you man, but are you sure 650w is enough?
yeah it'll suffice for the system - you can increase it if you'd prefer though
alrighty :) and with the motherboard including wifi does that mean it now supports wireless wifi connections? or would it still need a wifi adapter? either way im planning to use an ethernet cable but just wondering
it'll support wifi and bluetooth yeah
okay cool! and what tier would you rank this pc in ur opinion performance wise? low-tier, mid tier etc - just so i can get a rough idea of what im getting
this is a mid-tier system
the CPU/Mobo are AM5 which mean that you can upgrade your CPU in future without having to get a new motherboard (or new RAM since it's DDR5)
the GPU is 'last gen' but it's still a good GPU - especially in comparsion to the 5070 which is poor in terms of value for money
you have 32GB of 6000MHz RAM which is a good speed and amount for most systems - the vast majority of users won't need more than this for a long time
the M.2 NVMe drive is a gen 4 drive, not the fastest but still extremely fast
overall, it's a balanced system that's good value for money IMO
sounds good to me, thanks for your input and help!!
no problem! lmk if you have any more questions or need help with anything else
