2019 saw the release of many new computer components from various manufacturers. In this regard, it became more difficult to figure out what is really more profitable to buy in the price / performance ratio, to make the optimal assembly and choice.
This computer is suitable for both professional activities and streaming, as well as for entertainment. The exact prices for components can be found on the Internet or in specialized stores.
CPU
Advanced Micro Devices released a new line of Ryzen processors this year. The most interesting and affordable option was the Ryzen 5 3600X. Among its advantages, it is worth noting the 7 nm process technology, 6 physical cores and 12 threads with a stock frequency of 3800 MHz, auto-overclocking support. Of the minuses, it is worth noting raw bios. You need to buy a non-boxed version, since the complete cooler and thermal paste are not of very good quality.
CPU cooling
Due to the fact that this processor has a declared heat dissipation of 95 watts in the stock mode, the Aardwolf GH-V120 cooler is enough to cool it down. The maximum power dissipation of this cooling is 180 watts. There is a red backlight. It has no drawbacks in its price range. As a thermal interface, you should use Arctic Cooling MX-4 thermal paste. It has excellent reviews and, when applied correctly, can reduce temperature readings by 15 degrees.
RAM
And to this day, for any task, there is enough memory in the amount of 16 GB. An excellent memory is the Kingston HyperX Predator at 3200 MHz. This frequency is quite enough for both work and gaming. In addition, this RAM has excellent timings and an impressive design. There is a version with RGB backlighting. You can purchase 2 dies for 8 GB or 4 for 4 GB.
Motherboard
The ASRock B450M Steel Legend motherboard is perfect for this processor. Among its advantages, it is worth noting the presence of two M.2 slots, a metal frame for a PCI-E 16x slot for a video card, an up-to-date BIOS version and XMP profiles that allow you to overclock memory in one keystroke. Again, an excellent motherboard in its price range with no obvious drawbacks.
Video card
In the middle price range, there are 2 new products with approximately the same performance - the RX 5700 XT from AMD and the GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER from NVIDIA. The first video card has a slightly higher performance, but also has a higher heat dissipation. When choosing, it is worth starting from the prices in a particular store and city, as well as personal preferences. Both new products have excellent performance in all modern gaming projects.
Power Supply
It is not worth saving on power supplies, since low-quality products in the event of a malfunction can damage all components. A good option to buy is the Chieftec GPS-750C 750W. Its power is enough for this assembly to function stably. Of the advantages, it is worth noting the presence of the 80 PLUS Gold certificate, detachable cables. Among the minuses are the rigidity of the cables and a rather short processor power cable.
Storage devices
An SSD disk with a memory capacity of 120-180 GB is enough for the operating system. You shouldn't buy drives with QLC memory. For data storage, you can purchase an HDD with a spindle speed of 7200 rpm. Its memory size depends on your needs and financial capabilities.
Housing
A great option to buy is the Cougar MX330-F. The advantages of this case are: the presence of 5 fans, which provide excellent airflow, the bottom location of the power supply and the presence of backlighting. Of the minuses, it is worth noting that the glass is acrylic, not tempered. In addition, there are 2 USB plugs on the front panel, which slightly spoils the view.
