Black Friday... no specials, infact prices went up. Cpu, motherboard, ram and psu. Took screenshots of some items and wrote the other prices down and from which supplier. I'm comparing today and noticed most prices went up. Lucky I did my homework.

Pretty sure that used to be under a thousand bucks awhile back. It was my de facto recommend for reasonable builds (a 100W CPU + 250W GPU).
It's still good at R1200 but the "saving" is misleading.

Ah that is a decent price, wonder why it was cheap in October when previously it wasn't.
My brother is looking to upgrade pc. Can spend up to 17k maybe stretch to 20k. Hes on a 6700k and 3080ti. mainly play racing games like assetto corsa on triple 1080p 144hz monitors. So decent setup etc. what woiuld you guys recommend going Intel or AMD. Hes sorted on the following. SSD (NVME), storage, Case (Phanteks P400a).
What he needs is about 8 usb type A ports as minimum. Can someone suggest something doesn't have to be from wootware. Here is what I have in mind. https://www.wootware.co.za/w/builder/?selections=41059,40508,40648
Then get the cooler at titan ice near me. We would like to stick to air cooler for now https://www.titan-ice.co.za/hardware/air-cooling/deepcool-ag620-cpu-cooler-black/

The monitor arrive today but not working
. A bit disappointing and no contact number. Guess I have to wait for wootware to response.So I bought the asis rog strix rx6600xt oc for 6k on special last week Saturday. Black Friday it went up 2k. Glad I bought it before the price shot up. For 2 to 2.5k what would be the best motherboard to go for. Got the ryzen 5600 for just under3k. Everything is almost sorted. Motherboard most guys seem to be out of stock or the price keeps changing as I'm researching ...Einar

You can buy used 6700xt or even rx 6800 that price for 6k
There's this for cheap, no idea what you need in a MB though.

Thanks, Not sure exactly what is needed in MB, but decent enough to handle 1440p gaming. I think 1 m.2 should be fine, bonus if 2. Usb c would be a bonus as well. I can always look at upgrading at a later stage should the need arise.

My Build arrived early! Its just looks so beautiful. Performance is unmatched, don't know why never upgrade sooner.I'd go for something like this.
You'll want better cooling on the CPU and if you're buying a new platform for a while now, you may as well go the DDR5 route in my opinion.
EDIT: Damn, forgot the monitor. Let me change it quick. Basically the same as yours, just changed to the 13700KF and added an AIO and a few tweaks for budget.

The Cooler is huge but fits perfectly in casing. Wootware really done a good job with build. Only thing from list is the drives, went 512GB SSD and inserted existing corsair 1TB in. All running smooth.
Now I wait for Monitor replacement to arrive. The alienware arrive with issue.

Looks great man! Awesome stuff
Looks like Wootware is getting some stock of the RX 6700 10GB, didn't see any mentions about it so for those in the market for a RX 6600 XT this is a solid option to consider instead.
