Kidjoro

I put this parts list together and am looking for some advice. https://www.microcenter.com/site/content/custom-pc-builder.aspx?load=4006df9a-066d-4e29-9ec7-9435b9c7ec7d

Greetings. What is the intended use of the PC and your overall budget?

Kidjoro

The PC is inteded for gaming and my budget is around €1200-1300€. i "built" the PC on another which is where i will order it since i live in Belgium so the prices might differ. i was thinking about changing the GPU for the GIGABYTE Radeon rx 5700 xt Gaming OC but it's not available on this site. I'm also not sure about the motherboard, i'm thinking about either this Asus TUF one or the MSI x570 -A pro or if you have any other suggestions i would love to hear them!

Ian

Any X570 board will do great for what you have picked out. The main thing to look for really is what connections it offers / if it has WiFi (if desired). The 5700 XT will be fine as well depending on availability where you are regardless of model/manufacturer of the card, you won't have any bottle necking issues or anything. 

Kidjoro

okay thanks. just to be sure, by connections you mean connection to the internet right?

Yes, whether or not it offers WiFi, as well as what other ports (amount of USB, SATA ports etc.) it offers. 

Kidjoro

thank you so much for the help. also one last quick question. is the case big enough for all the parts? i saw that its a more compact one.

Ian

Yes that case will do fine, it supports ATX motherboards, supports video cards up to 11.8" inches in length, and should have plenty of room for everything. 

Kidjoro

i have one last question. would the Corsair Hydro series H115i rgb platinum (cpu cooler) fit in in corsair icue 220T airflow case? with this build

Kidjoro

or will i be fine with the wraith stealth cooler that comes with the ryzen?

Ian

You can use that water cooler if you'd like, it will work. The stock cooler does a good job for most people especially if you do not do any overclocking. 

Kidjoro

i'm sorrt i have another question. I have read that the radeon rx 5700 xt has issues. I am not the best at fixing those would it still  be smart to get that gpu?

The 5700XT is known to have driver issues.  If you do not want to go into possible troubleshooting, I advice going with an Nvidia Graphics Card just to play it safe.  

Kidjoro

i also changed the motherboard to a asus rog b450-F gaming or would that be problematic?

TSPhillipT

It's possible that the B450 Motherboard may need a BIOS update to work with the processor.  You should be fine if you do see this sticker on the box for the motherboard; 

Kidjoro

what nvidia card would you recommend? i was thinking about getting a rtx 2060 but i dont know what brand i should get

@Kidjoro There's no wrong answer here, but personally EVGA or ASUS are my top picks generally.
