• CPU: Offers better price to performance than Ryzen 5 5600X whilst performing similar to it.

• Cooler: Ignore compatibility warning on PCPartPicker, it’s wrong and outdated. Right now it’s compatible as it is now bundled with the LGA1700 bracket. I choose this cooler as it is one of the best performing coolers in the budget category. It’s better and cheaper than the Cooler Master Hyper 212 you choose. If you want RGB on cooler, the Vetroo V5 is another good choice and it’s compatible with this CPU and motherboard. The Vetroo V5 still performs better and is still cheaper than Cooler Master Hyper 212 however the ID Cooling SE 224XT beats them both in performance and price (only downside is no RGB) :(.

• Motherboard: No need for an expensive motherboard for gaming, that could have went for a better monitor/GPU. This motherboard has decent connectivity as you already has two M.2 slots that can support PCIe4 and four RAM slots. This Gigabyte motherboard also have WiFi and BIOS flashback.

If going for the AMD route, consider the Ryzen 5 5600 non X and a B550 motherboard as this CPU is only 0.2GHz less than the 5600X so the performance loss is negligible. I want to note that do not use GHz as a comparison between AMD and Intel due to architectural differences. As for AMD motherboard, the main benefit of a X570 motherboard is Gen4 support across multiple M.2/PCIe slots which is not really needed, a B550 motherboard is enough for most gamers.

• RAM+SSD: This is unbeatable for the price and you get some decently fast RAM and a high end SSD which is a Gen4 SSD, you can’t normally get these for such a low price.

• PSU: 550W is enough for this PC, many people overestimate the wattage needed. This PSU is high quality and is made by Seasonic (with Phanteks rebranding). It is also fully modular to make cable management easier.

• Case: Easy to cable manage and has good airflow. Overall a great budget case.

• GPU: This GPU allows 1440p/4K gaming.

• Monitor: Great display, decent ergonomic and fast response times for such a low price. I would highly recommend. It’s also a 1440p 144Hz monitor which I think it’s ideal for this GPU.

My gaming PC was a i5-3570K/16GB/RX580 so I was topping at 1080p on a 40 inch TV on medium to low quality to play a smooth game.Decided to buy a new Desktop PC to replace my 2011 PC that I've built.

Got all the wood already. List of materials for the monitor stand is here: https://www.tinkercad.com/things/0XsjhAAZ6iS
(a 2x4 is really only 1 1/2" by 3 1/2" but for the purpose of simplifying the cad measures while drawing it I've set it at 2" by 4")Inspired by this Youtuber: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=inVjpuykfkY
