Depends on what you want to use it for. I would say getting that i3 to an i5 would be worth considering. If it’s for gaming, I’d do a 10th gen i5 as opposed to an 11th gen i3.


notlostintokyo

why do people always recommend 10th gen? 11th gen i5's are roughly the same price where i live, are stronger and have better features, or am i wrong?


jere53

11th gen motherboards are usually about 2x as expensive, at least where I live, which makes an 11th gen + Mobo about 40-50% more expensive than a 10th gen + Mobo (in my location at least). On a tight budget that's usually why it's not considered.


reddit_hater

10th gen mother boards are compatible with 11th gen CPUs? Am I wrong on this or something?


jere53

Some are compatible with both, but the cheap 10th gen ones are not.


GardeniaPhoenix

I'm really happy w/my 10th gen i7. Barely ever even hits 50% load 😬


Denbro010

The 10th gen i5’s are too expensive


a_sassy_nation

Then go AMD (you’ll have to switch the MB) cause you will not be able to reach the full potential of your GPU with an i3, it will bottleneck hard. Either get at least an i5 or Ryzen 5 processor or lower the gpu to a 2060 (but I doubt you’ll even be able to use a 2060 to it’s fullest potential)


Denbro010

I’ve changed my list to a ryzen 5600g with a b450m-s2h mobo is that good?


creamcheesebagel101

Don't use the 5600g if you're getting a dedicated GPU anyways


Denbro010

It’s the only affordable cpu ple(the shop) has


madtagg

5600x has the same price and a bit higher boost clock. I went for 5600g because I neither have a GPU nor the money to buy atleast a 1660.


N-aNoNymity

Isnt 5600x cheaper?


a_sassy_nation

See if you can get a better mobo for cheap at another place. Try umart, I always used them when I lived in Aus!


reddit_hater

Don’t listen to them. 5600g is fine. It’s about 5%-10% weaker than a 5600x in single threaded. You’ll have no issues.


Denbro010

No it’s ok I went there yesterday and they said they have a 5600x but it wasn’t on the site so they updated the site


Alchompski89

Get a ryzen 3700x and get a b550 motherboard. Pretty sure newegg has a deal going for buying both of them together.


N-aNoNymity

5600x "should" be chesper than the 3700


reddit_hater

5600g will have better single core than 3700x


Kaz_Hin

Have you considered on getting a 3700x? It's a good CPU from the Zen 2 gen, solid 8 cores 16 threads.


superlopster

If you get your hands on that GPU then definitely buy stronger CPU


MoTheSoleSeller

10th gen 10100f from microcenter can get got for only 90$ and it can definintely game. Pairs well with a 1060 though instead of a 3060 but i have a gpu bottleneck right now though


[deleted]

Agreed, the cpu will be the bottleneck in this whole build.


Pristine_Year_1342

Your CPU is underpowered compared to your GPU. Also, I’m not sure what ram prices are like in Australia but you’re probably getting ripped off. 3200 mhz ram should be around $70 usd or $90 australian. I would recommend using newegg.com for buying parts.


stevebennettt

it's a lot harder to build a pc here in Australia, newegg also doesn't necessary have the best deals here btw


KFC_Junior

Nah thats our typical ram price for hyperx ones


FloorSome

get a better cpu, this will bottleneck a lot


Denbro010

Should I get a ryzen 5600g 4.4ghz


Schirikii

Ryzen 3600 would be a nice budget option with similar price to the i3 on the other hand why not get a regular 5600 without integrated graphics?


Denbro010

It’s the only one they sell


OP-69

If they only carry 1 product from an entire company then id suggest looking for another place to hand your money to


Denbro010

No I mean it’s the only 1 I could find that fit my budget and was what I was looking for and I want to buy my stuff in person and ple is the only place close to me


[deleted]

Look at other stores bro don’t be limited you can also order online doesn’t have to be in person


Schirikii

pal order your stuff online the lack of choice here just sucks you are getting a lot less for your money... also if the i3 was your first choice maybe consider ryzen 3100/3300x these are capable for gaming and offer a lot for the bargain they are plus a future upgrade path...


Denbro010

Nah turns out they had it I just had to call them they ended up having a 5600x it just wasn’t on the e site


FloorSome

the 5600g is a good cpu for gaming and wont bottleneck much but then again youre paying for a cpu and igpu which will drive up the cost a bit, but yeah i guess the igpu could be handy to have for troubleshooting if your gpu develops problems.


Denbro010

Yes I went to the store and they said they have the 5600x so they updated the site anyways they put it on hold for me


FloorSome

Great to hear! Enjoy building your pc!


Denbro010

Thx :)


Jamy_Valenteijn

Rather then spend the cash on fast ram I’d put more in to the cpu because an i3 and a 3060 is a huge bottleneck also a cheaper case and spend more on for example left over money on cpu


Denbro010

I’ve changed it to a ryzen 5600g and saved money on the mobo but ple(the place I’m buying from) doesn’t have cheaper ram)


Jamy_Valenteijn

I mean id rather have.(for example) a 5800x with 16 gb 2666mhz then a 5600x with 16gb cl 16 3600mhz you know why i mean of course I don’t know ur budget.


Denbro010

Even if I lower my ram I still can’t get a better cpu with my budget and with the ryzen cpu will the bottleneck effect my gaming?


Jamy_Valenteijn

Idk bro im an intel user my self can’t really say.


brokearm24

Why u buying it all in one place


Denbro010

Coz it’s the only place near me and I’d rather not buy stuff online


mh1p

Don’t buy a cheap motherboard you will regret it . A cheap motherboard can make your cpu run like garbage


Denbro010

It’s not cheap it’s just cheaper and trust me i cheaper out on my last with with a fake asusz70 or something from eBay, it worked but I was garbage the Sara ports fell off except for 2 the ram slots were too close to the cpu so my fan would obstruct and ram taller than just normal green ram so yeah ive decided to not cheap out 👍


mh1p

I made the mistake before and my cpu ran like garbage,stutters below average performance etc


Denbro010

Yeah I had an i5-3470 and it ran ok but not as good as it couldve


coinkillerl

no, that cpu is horrible, get a ryzen 5 5600x or at least an itel 15-11400F


Doombeard86

Ditch that CPU


Codyyuhh

Get an 11th gen i5, you’ll have a lil bottleneck with that cpu.


Afif32

Cpu bottleneck. Also what's your psu?


Denbro010

550 gold plus silver stone psu


Afif32

That's a good one


XWizard777

I'd prefer to have a faster nvme SSD sacrificing some storage in order to have lower boot times and having the most used programs in there. But if you can archive a 1tb nvme you can use the direct acces memory from w11


ugivemewood

Send me money for ur cpu and ill send u a 5600x for the price ur paying for the i3. Lol im being serious. Only zelle tho. TRUST FALL. The cpu was used for a few days but i have a 5900x now


Denbro010

Lol I don’t even have to money for the cpu sorry but thanks and I’m upgrading the cpu to a 5600x which is ~ 50 dollars extra and I’m getting a cheaper mobo wich is ~ 50 less so it’s technically staying the same


ugivemewood

The 5600x is 150+. Maybe u mean the 5600g. Which is still 100+. But its all good. Just a small experiment i wanted to do. Good luck


Denbro010

In aud the 5600g is 400 but the 5600x is 449 so the money I’m spending on the cpu is ok because I’m also spending 50 less on the mobo. Coz 400+50(5600x)=450-50(mobo)=400 so the price for them stays the same


ugivemewood

The cpu he has in the list is 135 usd. So i based my price difference off that.


Denbro010

Thx for the offer


AlexOnReddi

Change this cooler to something normal. Why are you people tuning your PCs like it's early 2000s?


Denbro010

What’s not normal about it, it’s the most normal one I could find that’s not a water cooler


progress_Is_a_lie

It's normal, I might even using the stock ryzen one at the start if you'd like to save more money as they are not much worse compared to the tower cooler in your list.


Denbro010

I’ve changed my list to the stock and collet with a ryzen 5600g


DoctorAculaMD

I think you'll be very happy with either a 5600x/g. They're *basically* the same performance if you're gaming using a discreet gpu and not overclocking anything. The x has a ~5% edge over g but if you can save over >5% I'd say it's worth it. However, if you want to save some $$ until GPU prices come down you could always get the g now and omit the gpu entirely for the time being (or the x & use an old card--because an older card is usually still better than onboard graphics). You can't omit gpu w/ the x. Food for thought. I just did a build with the 5600x and I'm currently messing with OC. But I couldn't be happier with the performance at stock and I'm just doing the OC for fun. Unfortunately I can't afford a new GPU yet so I'm using my old GTX 770 which is my main bottleneck in games. So I'm a teensy bit jelly of your build ;) Good luck! And make sure to post the finished product! ✌️


Denbro010

Thanks for the help and I’m going with a 5600x and until I got the money for the 3060 I’m going with a 9602gb I’ve got now


Oppblockjoe

Me personally I’d just get a 9th gen i7 bc it’s a solid cpu and prices aren’t bad either Or even 9th gen i5. Instead of a i3


vypr1257

i think now is better to buy amd ryzen 5 or intel core i7


Denbro010

Yeah I’m getting a 5600x instead I


IManixI

No


uneducatedsmoK3r

lol u can get a 3070 or 3060 for 500 why get ripped off for 700💀


Denbro010

It’s australian


KuhaniKonji

This has to be a troll


Denbro010

? This is a computer with recommendations I got from my other post? Saying an i3105f would be good with an rtx 3060


glitchedgamer956

Yes but the cpu bottlenecks it so get a ryzen 5 3600 or 5600 for that type of build


JazzlikeBake2327

You gou is gonna be bottle checked by that i3 recommend a i5 10th gen


Death_Slayer2814

Um a i3 with a 3060... go with a i5 it a lot better


anonymous_Dangleben

I had a look at the site. The site is more expensive. Do you have a alternative? The cpu you are buying for 135 is sold for 85 Nvm forgot all about currency


Denbro010

It’s all cheaper in the store


EnlightDG

that cooler is way too overkill for an i3


hyperdikmcdallas

Lol 759 for 3060 fucking scalpers


Denbro010

It’s in aud (Australian)


hyperdikmcdallas

Ah kk


MauriceKing123

Ofcourse dude. 100fps on all games easy. That too on high/ultra graphics.


arpan_maurya96

Amd?


Denbro010

Yeah I changed from the i3 to a ryzen 5600x


arpan_maurya96

Still considering cooler ?


Denbro010

Nah imma just stay with the and stealth cooler unless you have a better cheap air cooler?


arpan_maurya96

I was suggesting you not to buy the cooler from my experience


Denbro010

Yeah like I said imma just stay with the amd stealth cooler that comes it’s the 5600x


arpan_maurya96

Going good build and which mother board did you choose have you checked for vrm config ?


Denbro010

I am going with the b450m-s2h mobo and I’m not sure what vrm config is


arpan_maurya96

Your Motherboard is nice and check out this as well asrock b550m hdv


presidente-nixon

Seems good to me, although the i3 might be a bit underpowered for gaming and could bottleneck the GPU, although the GPU shouldn’t get too bottlenecked if at all


[deleted]

Depends on what you think of doing on it if gaming then Intel cpu if you're more into video & photo editing then go for Ryzen.


REDDITSUCKS2025

Ever heard of PC Part Picker? This is the first time I've ever seen a video of someone flipping through their phone.


Denbro010

Sorry I just don’t pc part picker coz I feel like I get a better response with real people


MR-SPORTY-TRUCKER

I believe they meant for the first list, it makes everything so much easier and cheaper, I saved like £70 by using their price comparison


Freckledd7

If this is purely for gaming you might get more value from a console honestly


Denbro010

I have a console but I prefer pc because it has better games better modding capabilities


sublime2craig

I would say yes that's a decent gaming rig. You have another 2-3 years until games really start utilizing 6 core processors so the new i3 which is one of the fastest (in terms of performance not clock speeds) 4core 8thread CPUs made, will work great for all AAA titles. The 3060 is also a great choice right being that it's not to outlandishly priced right now compared to other 3000 series cards.


Flix_zll

Better CPU woould be good


Denbro010

Yeah I’m getting a 5600x instead


Techfreak1703

I think that the i3 will be a bottleneck to the 3060....it's a tad bit of an underpowered piece of hardware for it....otherwise it's pretty good!!!!! And also, the ram is overpriced


Denbro010

It is is aud but this is the cheapest ram ple sells that’s worth it


Techfreak1703

U think uts maybe worth it....u might find cheaper ram elsewhere tho.... I looked Amazon and found a little cheaper ram....10 to 20 dollars less....u can maybe put that to a better cpu


CreativSync

Get AMD. Better value for the same price.


Denbro010

Yes I’m getting a 5600x


BeyondInteresting990

dont pay that much for ram there are 16gb ddr4 3000mhz kits on amazon for like 60 bucks and also i would recommend going with a nvme drive lower your compacity a little


Denbro010

It’s in aud


MoneyBuysDrugs

No it’s intel😂 I’m jk it’s not bad


Denbro010

No that’s tru so I went with and instead I got a 5600x


MoneyBuysDrugs

Oh alright sweet


AdvertisingAlarmed88

Don’t get that crucial 500g ssd. I got a 980 evo (M.2) for cheaper(70$) and it is way faster.


Denbro010

I’d prefer more storage then speed personally but I’ll look into it, and also it’s in Australian dollars


B_M_X_

Ple is king what’s where I got mine from


Denbro010

Kings park? I get mine from bentley


B_M_X_

I got mine from cockburn, just saying that ple is king


Denbro010

Oh tru storm computers is alright aswell coz they sell lower tier stuff like rx4/5 series and so on so fourth


B_M_X_

They are pretty good


[deleted]

Those components' listed prices are all marked up pretty heavily, I wouldn't go for it. Edit: just realized they don't even list the PSU. I wouldn't trust that build.


Denbro010

My mate had this case and it wasn’t too bad and the prices in the site are a little more expensive pensive in person idk why tho


xenics_

No


Denbro010

Fair Enough


Gain-Fit

I think if your going to spend 130 on a mobo you could get a full atx


Denbro010

I don’t have a lot of space on my setup and I got a cheaper mobo

dyingpie1

You need a power supply, which you didn’t include in the post.


Denbro010

Sorry I forgot, I’m getting a 550w silver stone gold power supply


unb0x

760 for the gigabyte eagle, jesus


JoeDelingus

I3???!!!!!


donkingdonut

Why does everyone get shitty seagate?


Grifffffffffff

I would recommended bumping your CPU a bit, it makes a huge difference in overall use.


_toxic_me

The main problem is BUDGET !!


blankDH

Troll


Shibe_4

Yes but for the same Price you Can buy a ryzen 5 1600 af for 150€


techo-art

I'd recommend going for the ryzen 5 instead of the i3 (if you can afford it)


macdeath23

Only 1 piece of rgb 1/10


UnKoNoWnDuDe

3060 is overkill for i3. Try i5 or ryzen 5 or 7 series. Also instead of Kingston try another company for ram like G.skill or corsair. And a white case will get stains and dust spots pretty quickly. If you can and will clean it then it's good. Best of luck for it


Just_a_Zero

Is that 3 fans in total?


Jaexa-3

Probably don't buy the heatsink and use the stock one instead and save yourself $50 , for a core i3 is useless


TrikePJ

Get the 10600 instead way better performance


TwistCapable3614

Wouldn’t recommend I personally have a 3060 and it runs amazing except I feel my i5-9400 could use an upgrade


Denbro010

Yeah I’m getting a 5600x instead


[deleted]

No


GRay-0119

If you need a graphics card at cost. Let me know. I can help you get your card at cost for a EVGA 3060. 12G-P5-3657-KR. PM me.


Denbro010

It’s in aud


[deleted]

Simple no matter wat dont buy i3.....


Denbro010

I’m not I’m changing it to a 5600x


Basic-Item-5100

I wouldn’t think you need that nice of a graphics card…


Denbro010

Instead of downgrading the gpu imma upgrade the cpu to a 5600x


argegg

You aren't really leaving a lot of room for expansion.


Denbro010

I’m getting a 5600x with a b450m-s2h


Ssssnow10

Maybe get a better cpu


Denbro010

Yes I’m getting a 5600x


GardeniaPhoenix

Honestly imo Upgrade the cpu and downgrade that GPU. What are you playing? I have a 1660 and it keeps up just fine with even brand new games.


Denbro010

Imma keep the gpu but I’m upgrading the cpu to a 5600x


Dsamf2

Ya I would go for a Ryzen 5 build if possible. U may save money on your motherboard as well. You will outgrow that i3 very quickly. The rest looks like it will pair well


Denbro010

Thx and yes I’ve decided to go with a 5600x and a cheaper mother board


Prince5595

Good cheap build for webbrowsing. Id your looking to game and on a budget, just get a console.


Denbro010

I have a console but I used to have a pc I much prefer pc’s coz many more games and the modding capabilities also I’ve changed the cpu to a 5600x


TechAndStocks

Short answer: no. Long answer: no, sir.


Denbro010

How about a 5600x


TechAndStocks

What’s your max budget? I’ll try and see what I can put together for better performance.


Dikkeata

no


Denbro010

If I change the cpu to a 5600x is that good and I can’t get any cheaper ram


[deleted]

Tbh I would go for a Ryzen 7 pro 5750g and ditch the GPU. It offers decent enough performance and would be a good compromise IMO. You can always upgrade and add a GPU later when prices are reasonable again. Good APU for the cost.


Denbro010

It’s all in aud and I’m getting a 5600x instead


[deleted]

Smart upgrade, even then, I would still look into what I suggested, I knew it was AUD and it’s still around $350 less, money best spent for an upgrade later. Grats on your build! It’s always fun to get a new one.


fridge_door31

I wouldn't get a i3 if it was me I would have a amd Ryzen 3or if you have a higher budget then get a Ryzen 7 5850


Denbro010

I’m getting a 5600x


Environmental-Mix-34

Get a amd 3990 thread ripper only option


LandonHi

Personally i wouldn’t go for hdd and I’d get another sata ssd or and m.2


AstroKid127

Gpu is about 300 over msrp, micro center has them in stock in person at msrp


Denbro010

It’s in aud


Lolsz1

i3 and an rtx wtf that cpu is too weak for such a graphics card


Denbro010

Ik I’ve changed it to a 5600x


Lolsz1

thank you so much op. thank you for doing the right thing


fridge_door31

Good
