I grabbed a copy of the “High Refresh Rate Build” from PCMasterRace and wanted feedback.

I’ve not built a new PC in many years and last I heard was the NewEgg was trash and unreliable now. Is it decent again, or is it worth paying more to get it elsewhere?

Also, is there room for more storage? If I bought two of the SSDs, would there be room?

Other components decent?

And, finally, my so wants an RBG case, so any recommendations on one of those that would fit this stuff would be great.

    Also, looking at the list, it has this warning: “Warning: The ASRock B550 Phantom Gaming 4/ac ATX AM4 Motherboard supports the AMD Ryzen 5 5600 3.5 GHz 6-Core Processor with BIOS version P2.20. If the motherboard is using an older BIOS version, updating the BIOS will be necessary to support the CPU.” Again, I’ve not done this for a number of years, is this something I will be able to do on the machine after it is assembled, or will I need to download this BIOS update on another PC?

      You will most likely not need to update your bios. If you do then your new computer will not start up until you have fixed the bios so you will need another computer to download it and throw it on a usb stick
