hi good evening all, just helping my friend

Budget : 5k

He has listed down some stuff below

But I would like to see if there are other better hardware that he can get for his money

Case	CM MasterBox TD500L	199
PSU	CM V650	449
Mobo	Gigabyte Aorus Pro WiFi	529
CPU	Ryzen 5 2600x	899
GPU	Asus RX580	1299
RAM
HDD	WD 1TB	170
SSD	Kingston A1000 M.2 NVME	219
Monitor

As per the list, there are a few recommendations he need

1) RAM - 16GB??
2) Monitor - Any freesync monitor
3) Is Ryzen 5 2600x better or Ryzen 7 1700 better?

thank you brothers

Slightly cheaper: i5-8400 (799) vs Ryzen 5 2600x (899) 2. In case of GPU problem, 8400 has integrated GPU for you to trouble shoot and hang on while waiting for RMA 3. Intel platform not tempting you to get more expensive RAM to perform better. Ryzen likes 3000-3200MHZ, Intel ok with 2400-2666MHz 4. Performance is comparable, so you are not missing out much https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ats6AYz6Z3I For Rx580, I guess it is ok as you want to work with Freesync. But some say forget about Adaptive Sync and just go for better bang for buck, at which the GTX 1060 6GB (RM1099 for Galax at Viewnet) might save more, and you could even opt for GTX 1070 Ti (1899 at viewnet), as Vega 56/64 are still crazy priced. thanks for this valuable input will relay this info to my friend

Huge cards like GTX 1070 Ti and above, or ones with beefy/passive coolers that span 3-4 slots But since you probably will add basic stuff like GT710 or GT 1030, no worries. alright bro thanks my casing i think CM690II can fit everything one la haha 780Ti last time can fit
