What could I improve on this around $1000 build (with micro center bundle)
Posted by Lukaro_@reddit | buildapc | View on Reddit | 12 comments
I manually inserted the micro center bundle price on the cpu, mono, and ram.

Any feedback is appreciated.

First off, Micro Center will price match anythign cheaper, like the cooler you chose.
Second, you can save a ew bucks with a Corsair PSU over the MSI, and an Inland (micro center brand) SSD. The case is cheaper at Microcenter. All in all, you can get it without the GPU down to about $700 pre-tax.
Then I'd go for an AMD Radeon 9600XT 16GB instead of the crappy 5060 8GB.

Total price would increase about $90, since the Asrock is only $420.

What corsair psu are you referring to?

Aren’t those e ones made cheaper?

You need a dedicated GPU if you're going with that CPU
Lukaro_@reddit (OP)
there is a gpu...

Ah, I'm blind.
8 gb isn't futureproof at all, but otherwise It's a pretty good build

Yeah I know it’s not future proof. I don’t intend on keeping it super long, just gets the job done for now
mikkeldoesstuff@reddit
Don't know that there is much you can improve on, this is a pretty tight build.

Personally, i would save up a little more for a better GPU. 8GB is not that good for today's game. I would go for a minimum of 12GB
Lukaro_@reddit (OP)
it drastically increases the price though even jumping up to the 5060 ti
