>State budget & CURRENCY
>Post at least some attempt at a parts list
>List your uses, e.g. Gaming, Video Editing, VM Work
>For monitors, include purpose (e.g., photoediting, gaming) and graphics card pairing (if applicable)

CPUs based on current pricing:
>Athlon 200GE - HTPC, web browsing, bare minimum gaming (can be OC'd on most mobos with the right BIOS)
>R3 3200G - Minimum 30-60fps gaming. The stronger 3400G sells for $150.
>R5 2600 - 60fps+ gaming CPU with great value
>R5 3600 - Great gaming CPU
>R7 3700X - Overkill gaming CPU
>R7 1700X - Budget video editing
>R9 3900X - Professional tasks

RAM:
>Do not use a single DIMM. 2 sticks for a typical dual channel CPU
>CPUs benefit from fast RAM; 3200CL16 or Micron E-die ("AES" in code) recommended
>AMD B & X chipsets and Intel Z chipsets support XMP
>B-die is EOP, stock is limited

GPUs based on current pricing:
1080p
>RX 570/580 8GB - Can be found on sale/used for cheap. Look for 570s which are >1240MHz boost
>GTX 1660 - higher fps / more demanding games. OR: 1660Ti at ~$230, and Vega56 ~$270
>RX 5700 - higherer FPS
1440p
>RX 5700 - standard, 75-100FPS+ in most games.
>RX 5700XT - higher fps
2160p (4K)
>RTX 2070S OC - budget option. Turing scales better into 4K than Navi does.
>2080Ti - best for 4K but expensive

>Navi AIB models come mid-August. 5700 non-XT blower is alright, due to low power.

General:
>PLAN YOUR BUILD AROUND YOUR MONITOR IF GAMING
>Yes, adaptive sync (free/g/sync) is important

>NVMe isn't better than SATA SSD for gaming
>"Bottleneck checker" sites don't work
>Don't use Speccy
>AM4 VRMs + Monitors under "more"

Putting together a SFF build for my mother, at least small enough to fit comfortably on a medium siized desk, and for it to function as an office/multimedia PC.
Thoughts?

friendly reminder that you can undervolt your 5700xt reference and have it run very quietly with reasonable temps

Mines not even hitting 80*C on load and barely registers above the case fans.

In the last thread there was talk about compatability between ryzen 3000 chips and 16mb b450 boards. I am having issues with Windows taking forever to start, it stays at the black screen with the windows logo, while the loading graphic spins endlessly. It does eventually load up windows, but it takes 15 to 20 minutes. I can start it in safe mode much easier. Once it is loaded, there are no other issues with the pc. I am unsure if this is due to the cpu and motherboard or if its an issue with my hardrive. I didn't do a clean install of windows, just plugged my drive over from my old pc. I have an msi b450 gaming plus board and a ryzen 3600 processor.

Well there you go.

Forgot to mention, Bios version is the latest available

Buy Intel.
Buy Nvidia.

What is the point of a dual system build?
