r/budgetbuilds

Never built a computer before but the steam machine provided me with a reasonable floor for performance. I bought mostly used components but PSU and mobo are new. Will probably exchange CPU for 5500x3D later on (stock cooler still good for that or should I buy another air cooler?)

Specs:
Asrock B450M mobo
Ryzen 2600 with stock cooler
16GB RAM (2x8 3000MHz)
512 SSD Samsung NVMe
RX 6600 XT
2 Noctua 120mm fans

…oh, and sorry about the cable management.

Specs are as follows

CPU: Ryzen 5 3600 oc 4.2ghz

Motherboard: ROG strix b450-f

Ram: g.skill 32gb ddr4 4x8gb at 3200 m/ts CL14

GPU: zotac RTX 3060 12gb

Case: Corsair (not sure what model)

PSU: Corsair rm750 came with cablemod cables

Cpu cooler: Arctic freezer 2 aio

SSD: 1tb gigabyte oem nvme

How did I do?

Hi everyone, I'm helping a friend to build a PC and I'm working with a tight budget, can't go higher than what this is right now.

Ram will be Kingston fury.

Almost everything will be bought through Amazon USA (Not located on the us but we get free shipping here)

Total is $1014 (gpu is more expensive than MSRP due to taxes)
