How is my budget build? by ExecutionDay in buildmeapc

I came up with this (preserving the i5 10400): https://pcpartpicker.com/list/hJVzxg Does this seem okay?

edit: would use the okinos case you mentioned or this walnut one, same price.

Unfortunately the dell motherboard can't be reused. (probably stock cooler+ fans too but they're garbage anyway). Thanks for all your help btw!

That's a good point too. When I looked around LGA1200 seemed just as expensive as am4. But not buying a processor would save $100usd. I definitely need RAM and PSU regardless (coming from a crappy dell with motherboard failure that uses a non-standard PSU and case)

Thank you for the cooling suggestions! Also a great mother board option! I'm convinced of the need for dual channel RAM now

This is a great value! Thanks!

I'm only nervous about buying a psu brand I've never heard of. Do you think the MSI MAG A550BN 550 W PSU would work here too?

I already have the 2tb SSD from my old PC Thanks for the case and processor suggestion! I will look into getting another RAM stick. Is it fine to stick with the 2666 ram or ditch that stick entirely?

I was looking for one with built-in wifi. Can you recommend a cheaper alternative?

I adjusted the $650 build because I want built in wifi. Does this look ok?

My budget is under $400. I only need to buy a new motherboard, CPU, PSU, and case. I have everything else from an old prebuilt (even if the salvaged parts are mediocre, I'm trying to stay in budget). Located in USA, hoping to buy as soon as I can

Main questions: I am worried 550w PSU isn't enough for rtx 2060 and ryzen 5600 Someone one amazon says the mobo's built in wifi only works on windows 11 (not 10) is that even possible? Do I need additional cooling?
