Build advice

We love you Ukraine
Hey can anyone let me know if ur able to change something once u put ur order in or is it once u place ur order that’s it
You can make any amendments within the same configurator anytime until its in building, it won't affect your place in the queue.

I'd recommend getting some advice on your build.
 
I’ve already ordered it but really just looking to change my cpu I’m after getting a Ryzen 5 5600X Six Core CPU but looking to change it for a ryzen 7

Max budget is €1650

using it for gaming won’t be playing high end games prob Cold War dead by daylight and rainbow 6

monitor I’m still not sure yet I’m saving for a monitor atm but was looking at the ACER 23.8 full hd gaming monitor just for the moment

MOST VALUED CONTRIBUTOR
I'd make quite a lot of changes, to be honest, even without increasing the budget significantly. The big question is whether you are able to upgrade your build even though the 3060 is not not selectable on the configurator. If it is, keep it. If it isn't, select the AMD Radeon 6600XT as I have here.

Personally I wouldn't upgrade to the Ryzen 7 5800X at your budget; any other "upgrade" would actually be a downgrade.
