Question New gaming build I need help with

[Vybz]

So I have heard that motherboards, memory and disk drives are at an all time low. So I think I should build a pc now before the new gen stuff comes out. Help me put the part together. This build is mainly for gaming and my budget is around $1000. I am buying my components from the US. I would like to try a Ryzen build this time. I won't be buying a GPU so list everything except that. I also think I may want to go with DDR4 memory instead of DDR5 what do you guys think? I also aready have my case. i have a Lian Li O11 dynamic

quite interesting? If I guy now what PSU do you suggest?

PSU do you suggest?

Just get whatever fits your needs. Personally I go with EVGA after being bit by some other brands over the years and have yet to have an issue with them. I over provision but, the sweet spot is 850W and IIRC Evga PSU's have a 10 year warranty as well. (X suffix PSU)

Shouldn't be too long before the new updates start hitting the shelves once they sell down current stock.
