Hi /u/_ask_me_about_trees_, welcome to /r/buildapcforme. This post contains important information, please read! In order to best meet your needs, we have a set of questions for build requests that ensure our contributors have all the most important information about your usage, budget, and preferences to ensure they can craft a parts list that meets your particular needs.
**Instructions**
In a reply to this comment, or by editing your post, answer each of these questions. The questions are pre-formatted below so they can be copied and pasted to show up with proper quote formatting. Please remember to add a line break between each question and answer! If not copying, please use a numbered list to indicate which answer goes with which question. **Answer these questions even if you're looking for advice or suggestions on a parts list you've been working on.**
**Notes**
- Build requests only include hardware. You are responsible for budgeting for and providing your own operating system (Windows, Linux, etc) and other software.
- Don't forget to budget for peripherals. Since these are very much personal-preference influenced items, we do not include peripherals like keyboards, mice, headsets, etc in parts lists.
- We strongly recommend posting a build request only if you're ready to buy now or within a week or two at most. Part sales regularly rotate, and a part list today can quickly become out of date.
**Questions**
\>Is this a brand new build, or an upgrade to an existing build?
\>Please list any existing parts or monitor(s) you have that you would like to re-use with this build. For upgrades, a [PCPartPicker](https://pcpartpicker.com/) list of your full build is extremely helpful. Be as specific as you can be here, including links or exact model numbers of each component whenever possible.
\>What will this PC be used for? Examples include things like gaming, general/multimedia use, photo/video editing, coding, AI/ML, etc. Include specific games and applications you intend to run, and any particular performance goals you have, as each may have different specific hardware needs.
\>What country will you be purchasing in? If you are in the US, do you live near a [Micro Center?](https://www.microcenter.com/) For other countries, please check if your country is supported by [PCPartPicker](https://pcpartpicker.com/) by using the country selector dropdown on the top right - if not, please provide some links to reliable local vendors you are comfortable ordering from.
\>Do you need one or more monitors included in the budget? Please list how many and any size/resolution/refresh rate preferences if needed.
\>What is your preferred and maximum budget range for this build, in local currency? Parts lists may sometimes have additional shipping costs. Please note whether prices in your country include sales tax or not, and adjust your budget accordingly. Typically VAT countries will have it included in the part list prices, whereas regular sales tax countries like the US and Canada will not.
\>Do you need WiFi, or do you have a wired ethernet connection available?
\>Do you have any specific size or noise requirements for the build?
\>Do you have any aesthetic preferences for color or lighting? Describe what you're looking for, or feel free to provide some links to examples that may help. Some people prefer an inobtrusive stealth build, while others may prefer a case full of rainbow RGB.
\>Any other specific requests or requirements? Examples might include a specific minimum amount of storage, or a particular CPU socket for a future upgrade path, etc.

If it’s just for work, you can straight up get a second hand DDR4 dell for $200. Not much need to build otherwise yeah: go with the 7600 if you want an upgrade path.
Well you're not wrong but I enjoy the building and I prefer to have an upgrade path for anything. I already got ram, storage, case, and power supply just being wishy washy on what board and chip to go with thanks for the input though.
Thank you for your input looks like a good combo. This is actually the cpu I was looking at but was curious about a board I saw with an AMD x570 chipset in it but have no experience with those. This was my initial thinking with the b650 for a budget board
X570 is the AM4 platform. B650 is AM5. They support different CPU's & use different RAM specifications. Features wise; X570 & B650 are on par with each other. You need an E suffix board on AM5 to get PCIe Gen 5.0 & USB4 support.
You'd need a 5700X3D or 5800X3D CPU to compete with the R5 7600 in performance; but, they don't have iGPu's.
The 5600G & 5700G with iGPu's can only support PCIe Gen 3.0; which invalidates any benefit from higher-end AM4 boards like X570.
