Need help with this PSU

Khang

I put this parts list together and am looking for some advice.
Why does the PSU that I choose said it was not compatible?? Is it actually not compatible or is it the fault of the micro center builder??

Hello @Khang
I will be investigating why the Power Supply is requiring disabling the compatibility filter.  It is compatible for the build that you currently have. 


Are you planning on waiting for the new GPUs or is this a non-gaming build?  What GPU are you looking to get and what games and resolution are you planning on?

Hi @TSPhillipT,
This is going to be my first pc build, I'm planning to game and also work on this PC, my plan is to get a gtx 1660 super at first and I will be playing Valorant and League on 1080p, I will of course upgrade both my CPU and GPU down the line.
P.S. I forgot to add the GPU when asking.

That would be a solid build all around, only other feedback I have would be choosing DDR4-3600 for your memory instead, since that's the sweetspot for third generation Ryzen CPUs.

@TSTonyV I have a choice between 3600mhz cl18 vs 3200mhz cl 16. Which one would you recommend since they are around the same price.

@Khang If they are around the same price. I'd recommend the 3600mhz CL18 because faster is better the majority of the time. Though the difference in most use cases will be marginal.

If you're interested, here's a very detailed video from LTT about RAM speeds and Ryzen CPUs
