Gaming PC IKKAKU
🖥️ Current System with RX 6600 XT
Component | Assessment |
---|---|
CPU: Ryzen 5 5600X | ✅ Excellent 6-core / 12-thread CPU for gaming and light productivity. Pairs beautifully with the RX 6600 XT — better than the 5500/5500X in both performance and future-proofing. |
Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 212 V3 ARGB | ✅ High-performance budget cooler. Quiet, cool, and stylish. Great match for the 5600X, even under full load. |
Motherboard: Asus Prime B450M-A II | ✅ Reliable B450 board. Good BIOS support for Ryzen 5000. 4 RAM slots = future upgrade potential. |
RAM: 16GB DDR4 3200MHz (Cuso) | ✅ Meets gaming needs today, but some games and multitasking workflows benefit from 32GB now. |
SSD: Kingston NV1 250GB NVMe | ⚠️ Small capacity, especially with games averaging 50–150GB each. |
GPU: PowerColor RX 6600 XT 8GB (Used) | ✅ Great 1080p GPU. Beats RTX 3060 in many rasterized games. Very efficient (low power draw) and performs well even at 1440p in many titles. No DLSS, but FSR 2.0/3.0 is available in supported games. |
PSU: Hybrok 650W 80+ Bronze | 🟡 Decent for now. Much safer than Raidmax. Not top-tier, but acceptable for a mid-range build like this. |
Case: Hybrok Shadow w/ 4x ARGB Fans | ✅ Solid airflow and visuals. Good thermals for a mid-range setup. |
🎮 Gaming Performance: RX 6600 XT + Ryzen 5 5600X (1080p Ultra)
Game | FPS Estimate |
---|---|
GTA V | 140–160 FPS |
Call of Duty Warzone | 110–130 FPS |
Elden Ring | 60+ FPS (Locked) |
Cyberpunk 2077 | 55–65 FPS (High settings, FSR On) |
RDR2 | 75–85 FPS (High, no RT) |
Fortnite | 180+ FPS (High, FSR On) |
Valorant / CS2 | 280+ FPS |
Baldur’s Gate 3 | 70–90 FPS (Ultra, FSR On) |
✔️ Fantastic 1080p gaming experience
✔️ Great performance-per-watt; power-efficient card
⚠️ Lacks DLSS and strong ray tracing; but FSR helps in supported games
✅ With the 5600X, there’s little to no CPU bottleneck
🔧 Upgrade Analysis
1. 💾 SSD Upgrade: 512GB NVMe – +3,000 DA
✅ Yes – Highly Recommended
-
250GB isn’t enough for modern gaming (especially titles like Warzone, Diablo IV, or Starfield)
-
762GB total gives you plenty of room for OS, apps, and 5–7 AAA games
-
NVMe = fast, responsive system
2. 🔁 RAM Upgrade: 32GB (2x16GB 3200MHz) – +3,500 DA
🟡 Optional – Useful for multitasking, streaming, content creation
-
Gaming at 1080p: 16GB is still fine, but 32GB is future-proof
-
Great for: Video editing, virtual machines, modded games, Chrome-heavy workflows, future AAA games (2024+)
-
If budget allows, go for it — but not urgent unless you’re seeing slowdowns or doing heavier tasks
3. ✨ Add RGB Fan Controller – +3,500 DA
🟡 Cosmetic – Up to your preference
-
Doesn’t affect performance or airflow, just gives ARGB sync/control via software or remote
-
Useful if your fans don’t support sync or motherboard headers are limited
-
If you care about lighting setup or want neat ARGB control, this is a fun addition
📊 Performance & Value Summary
Aspect | Before Upgrades | After Upgrades | Impact |
---|---|---|---|
Gaming FPS | ✅ High | ✅ Same | No FPS change, still excellent |
Storage | ❌ Limited (250GB) | ✅ 762GB total | Big quality-of-life boost |
RAM | ✅ Standard (16GB) | ✅ Future-proof (32GB) | Better multitasking, smoother heavy usage |
Visuals / ARGB Control | ⚠️ Limited (no sync) | ✅ Full control (RGB hub) | Purely aesthetic |
System Stability | ✅ Safe | ✅ Same | PSU is acceptable for this setup |
Upgrade Path | ✅ Strong | ✅ Better (more RAM) | Ryzen 7 5800X/5700X possible later |
✅ Final Recommendation
This build is:
-
🔥 Very well balanced for 1080p Ultra or 1440p Medium gaming
-
🧊 Cool and quiet, thanks to the Hyper 212 and good airflow
-
🧠 Smart on value, with great CPU-GPU pairing
Recommended Upgrades:
-
SSD 512GB = Definitely
-
32GB RAM = Optional but good (especially for productivity)
-
RGB Controller = Cosmetic only — get it if you care about lighting control
If you’re staying strictly in the 1080p zone and gaming-only, you could even delay the 32GB RAM upgrade and get it when prices drop again.
TL;DR:
✅ Strong build for modern 1080p gaming
✅ Cool, efficient, and quiet
⚠️ Storage is tight — upgrade SSD
🟡 RAM upgrade = optional future-proofing
🟡 RGB = cosmetic choice
