Thanks for your list!!

a few questions:
1) how is the sapphire pulse version different from the powercolor?
2) will any matx case fit? might look around for other cases.
3) what kind of ram is needed? (3000 or 3200 mhz ver) really unsure of this

PSU
Price seems to be going up steadily so local now is cheaper! Don't get cheap psu, good one last 10+ years, can reuse for your next spec
Seasonic Focus Plus Gold 650w or EVGA G+ Gold 650w - Around $145

SSD
https://www.amazon.com/Sabrent-Rocket-Internal-Performance-SB-ROCKET-1TB/dp/B07LGF54XR - Around $140

Your gpu will not fit into your budget :O

Edited part list

3600 has no headroom to OC and runs very cool at stock, so a cheaper and easier to install air tower HSF like Deepcool Gammax GTE more than enough.

SSD try buy at least 1TB, win10 bloats up a lot.

I myself use Seasonic Focus Plus 850W, but CM MWE Gold 550W Full Modular @ $99 more than enough for single GPU build without extreme OCing if you want to save some money.

 

[shawntyq]

why though, is it better?

most cards are about the same. its only the temp difference maybe few degrees. powercolor got 3 years warranty while sapphire got 2 years.

but now i see alot ppl say powercolor OOS already.

yea, should i get the pulse instead then?

the warranty itself quite turn off tho, really up to you cos around this price range only left these 2 cards.

ask pctheme whether they can find stock for you? think dynacore pricelist got powercolor red dragon for 619.
