EDIT: Here’s what I ended up going with: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/j3VDbK
I decided to stick with the stock cooler for now, if I need to upgrade later then I will. I was going to downgrade the CPU to the 5600 as recommended to save some money, but the prime day sale kicked in and the X ended up being cheaper. I also switched to the 980 Pro rather than the Evo 970, once again courtesy of our capitalist overlord’s Bezos day. I managed to snag a new RX 6700 XT for $310 on Amazon a few days ago, but it’s shipping from Portugal so we’ll see if that sticks.
Really appreciate all the advice, yall made it a lot less intimidating.
Can you save a few dollars going with a 5600 over a 5600x? I think they were very similar in performance.
Check out the DeepCool line of coolers too, I have one ony 5800x and it does a bang up job.
I’ll check out the differences between the 5600, thanks!
I think I’m going to stick with the stock cooler for now, I’ll upgrade that as needed.
That’s another good way to save money, the stock cooler will be fine I’m sure.
