I made this build for a friend, he has a 4th gen i5 and a GTX 1060 so it was time to upgrade. I made it to his preference (he needed an nvidia gpu sadly).
He went to a computer store next his house to see if the parts are available and the price.. The guy that i’m gonna call “scammer” from now on had to say some stuff about the pc, to his professional opinion the pc was never gonna be able to turn on and work, power supply is not powerfull enough, it doesn’t have a fan (case comes with 4 fans), monitor is bad and will not work… He basically trashed the entire build to make one for 2500 euro… This is why people don’t feel confortable getting a pc instead of a console
P.S. i haven’t followed ssd stuff recently, should i change it to something else?
Edit: I know the “scammer” Is a piece of shit, and alredy told my friend to not listen to him, this post was just to share what happend with you guys (also the scammer asked for 250€ ti build it… i will personally get a train to go help him build the PC)

Pretty good and should work great, but that CPU socket is old now with AM5 out
I’d drop the HDD entirely, get a 7600/x and DDR5 motherboard with a 2TB NVMe instead
Should work just fine, the owner was probably trying to sell him on something else
Drop the 7200 drive
I’ve never met an honest computer shop owner.
They’re all out to scam the most vulnerable customers they can get, since they know anyone who knows about computers will build it themselves anyway.
Avoid these places like the plague.
I’d toss the harddrive, and get another SSD instead. Life’s too short for HDD’s, unless it’s for largescale storage (NAS, server, the likes).
I’d definitely change the storage to a 2tb nvme ssd, you can get one at around 100€ nowadays.
You don’t even need a powerful PSU to turn it on, you need a powerful enough PSU to *keep* it on under load.
Anyways, he’s a scammer, shop elsewhere.
I don’t see a reason if it’s for pc gaming to ever get a hard disk.
Looks like it would work just fine but I’d swap the HDD for an SSD, play it safe. Everything else looks fine
I wonder if his prior job was on a car lot.
You already have an oversized psu and this guy still said it’s not enough? lol
But seriously you don’t need 850w. The gpu and cpu need under 200w combined
That’s an insane price for a 1TB old model nvme. HDD is overpriced as well, for that matter. You can get a cheap SATA 2TB SSD for the same money.
I’m guessing the 5700x is maybe 30euro more? Might be worth trying to find that in the budget somewhere to go from 6 cores to 8, but otherwise that’s a solid setup.
I’m not as against HDD as others but that seems pricey for a 2TB. They also aren’t wrong about bigger SSD.
I might be talking out of my ass but are you sure a 6-core CPU is enough for gaming and streaming to twitch at the same time?
what abt the nvidia card does he need? the build seems fine but id hate for somebody to have to buy a 4060 because of budget.
Interestingly enough I had almost this exact setup in my last pc. It worked perfectly.
I also have the 5600x but with a 3070. Iam not sure but I believe the 5600 non X will be just fine with a 4060
1. PSU too overpowered IMO.
2. Go with an Ampere GPU instead of Ada Lovelace (most likely cheaper for the same performance)
3. Get rid of the HDD and go with full SSD storage.
4. Go AM5.
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/2Wdfvj Hope this helps. I live in the states. Price point might be off or less depending where you’re at.
great build skip the hdd
Lol he said the psu is underpowered, my 7800xt runs just fine on 850w
I would go with a 1440p display for his 4060, also might want to check similar GPUs to a 4060 unless he needs the tiny extra benefit that a 4060 provides compared to cheaper 30 series.
why are you buying a 100$ mobo for a 5600x? get a 60$ one with go with a 5600 non-x
what country are you buying from and what is the budget?
One thing I recommend is maybe getting a 240gb ssd just for windows but other than that this looks like a good build
If you are trying to save cash on storage and keep NVMe’s as an option don’t sleep on the crucial P3’s or P5’s. I’d use a 1TB P5 for the boot drive/OS and use the P3 2TB for games since I’ve seen cache for NVMe doesn’t seem to affect gaming.
This is basically my computer now, minus the hard drive and a 2080ti instead of 4060
That build is excellent
If you wanted to save a few bucks you could change that cooler to the basic Assassin ($18 USD), it’ll handle that 5600X just fine
Besides the wasted money on 5600X over 5600 and the HDD instead of more SSD capacity, you came up with a good build.
If your friend needs Nvidia, I’d probably have bought a used 3060 for those 12GB
I’d up to a 2TB drive and a 1440p screen if you can, but other than that it looks great to me
