In theory, yours is better, the 3060 is faster than the 6600, but the motherboard is suuuper budget, 1 stick of RAM will kill performance, I'd prefer more SSD storage and the stock cooler is fiiiine but not ideal. You lose a bit of performance but it's a far more balanced build. Will leave it up to you (:

Hey there, I'm soon buying the pc from pc specialist but I have one worry. When I put all of the specs into pcpartpicker it said the CPU "Ryzen 5 5500" may not be compatible with the motherboard "Asus prime b550-plus" I want to know if this will be a problem for me if I get It delivered to me :)

[sweet wren]

The 5500 was released after the motherboard so the BIOS that the B550 ships with might not supoort the 5500. If that is the case, PCS will update the BIOS for you so it's all working out the box (:

Thanks appreciate it bro

One last question before I buy. I see that the sales and support team won't be open tomorrow will this affect my order in any way?
