You want to change your RAM to 3200Mhz so that you aren't bottle necking the cpu. I'd have went with a different psu other than the CV series but with that said there's worse out there.

Thanks

the main issue you'll have with a self buid is getting the parts, especially the GFX card, might be better off checking several websites for the best pre built one cost wise

All the parts are source at the moment I’m also in no rush for it I want it as a project…

is this motherboard similar to the one I listed??

Yes they are both 500 series motherboards so they both support the same chipset etc. There might be some small specifications to look for that fit your needs, ie more usb ports, more nvme ports etc.

Your build looks pretty good. I would def. try to get the GPU first before any other parts.

Okay bud thanks! I just hope I can build it hahah but it seems quite self explanatory… do I have to download windows via a memory stick??

So your saying it won’t fit in the case I’ve chosen?
I’ve done my research on the mother board and cpu and it says it’s compatable and if anything it’s more than what you need…

thanks

It fits but you're spending money where it shouldn't be spent if this build's main purpose is for gaming. Put that money towards a larger SSD or better graphics card. Gaming is all about Frames Per Second.

That board is expensive. You want to put that money towards performance. That Asus board is going to get your ZERO more FPS.

Here's a goal to shoot for ... fit this card in your budget even if you have to rework your build. You want a 650w psu for this card.

what motherboard

Yippee, welcome to the forum and best of luck with your new PC

I recommend you put together a build at PCpartPicker.com—it should help organize your thoughts and avoid you needing to ask multiple times about the same few parts.

Why_Me has given great help, but even he must be finding it difficult to figure out what parts combo you're talking about in later posts—I know I haven't the remotest idea!

Any motherboard I choose comes up with a warning? Will I just need to update when system is running?

this is the warning “Some AMD B550 chipset motherboards may need a BIOS update prior to using Vermeer CPUs. Upgrading the BIOS may require a different CPU that is supported by older BIOS revisions”
