Am I doing this right?

UniqueTrendz

I'm looking to build something around $1,200 that could at least last 5 years.  If there is anything I should add I would appreciate the advice thank you!  Also, I know nothing about monitors so I just picked the cheapest option... Please help me with that especially ;-;

Hello @UniqueTrendz

What games and resolution are you looking to play at with your system?  Any other things than playing games like streaming or content creation?

Hi @TSPhillipT
1920x1080- I usually play a large variety of games at the moment I would like to play Death stranding on maybe mid-high.  I may do streaming at some point.

The main thing I'd suggest would be dropping down to a cheaper motherboard to free up some budget for a better video card and monitor. We could jump up to the RTX 2060 instead which is a nice performance bump over the 1660 Super, and get a nice 144Hz 1080p monitor which would be appropriate for a 2060 + Ryzen 5 3600

Hi @TSTonyV
The reason I picked that previous motherboard is that I would need onboard WiFi I know  I could pick up a network adapter but I don't know if that would be a wise choice.

There are still cheaper options that include wifi, like the Gigabyte B450 AORUS PRO Wifi or the MSI B550M PRO-VDH (WiFi)

This link will give you a list of all the AMD boards we have in stock that include onboard wifi, if you want to take a look: https://www.microcenter.com/search/search_results.aspx?Ntk=all&sortby=match&N=4294966996+4294818892+4294810581&myStore=true
