Hello! I am a fairly experienced PC builder but I haven't upgraded in a while so I am a bit out of the loop. I'm looking at building a PC for my sister.
I am looking at a 3600, but am not sure what board or even chipset to pair it with.
The PC will be for gaming (1080p, at least for now) and photo and video editing.
Is there any reason not to go for a cheaper b450 or X470 over X570?
Also, any recommendations for a board? Good I/O is a big plus.
I already have a case and 750w 80+ gold PSU, and 1 TB NVMe drive. Will probably round out the build with 16 GB of 3200 MHz RAM and a 5700XT.
250 GB It Is Enough for any Games Can Play At Ultra
That GTX 770 Memory Bandwidth Is 224.3GB/sec That GPU Can Handle Most games At MAX
Only A problem SLI/CrosfireX It need 2X 16 Slot And A Powerful PSU
but you can't achive full performance from high end cards by using pcie 1.1 that have 250Gb/s bandwidth and also can't use sli/crossfireX of med range cards
If U Have PCI EX 1.1 Slot Then U Can Install A PCI EX 3 card Easily . You Only Need A X16 slot versions doesn't Matter .There Is No Performance Reduce As You Think
it depends on the pci-e slots version
e.g, your board have pci-e 2.0 and you install a GTX 760 which required pci-e 3.0,
it will work but your Gtx 760 can't give its full performance you need a board with pci-e 3.0
basically all mobos support all gpus
cpu's are socket specific if the motherboard has required (lga 775) socket than you can install any cpu of that socket(lga 775)
no amd cpu will install in intel board

MSI makes some decent budget mobos too , but they are slightly less reliable that Asus and Gigabyte.
