    Okay so I got a custom build in mind. My plan was to hopefully move out by January (cause I dont have space in my room) and get a pc but now that plan has shifted till summer. Anyways I figured I might as well change some components.

    https://pcpartpicker.com/list/yK23Bc

    Here is my proposed build:

    Ryzen 5 1600 -$149
    MSI X470 ATX mobo -$99
    Silicon Power 2x8 DDR4-3200-$72
    2 TB Seagate Barracuda + Kingston 240 ssd -$54.99 and $27.99 respectively
    EVGA RTX 2060 (buying it used from my area) -$300
    Cooler Master Masterbox -$43.98
    Corsair CV 550 watts 80 bronze -$59.99

    Note to self:
    My original idea was to get a gtx 1660 or a 1660 super but since prices are through the rough atm I figured i could get a used graphics and for 70 dollars more, I can get a used killer graphics card

    spend more money on your CPU and get a 3600 instead
    don't overspend on a mobo

    And not too bad. If you want a 30 series instead, wait a few months

    30 series seems expensive. Im just looking for a graphics card that can run minecraft, csgo, war thunder, maybe gta v and some cod

    If you are running csgo, upgrade that cpu. Csgo is more limited by cpu than gpu, so do as pc said and at least get the 3600


    Also if you want a 1660, I’ve found a place to grab one for 210$
