What's your PC build and how much are you willing to spend on a PSU?  hmm.gif

It's alright, but it's based on an entry level design so I won't recommend powering a high end rig with it icon_idea.gif

Ryzen 7 3700 x + gigabyte rtx2060
off topic a bit but I heard that since the rtx 3 series are coming out, I should wait for the price drop to get 2060?
On the budget I think I probably wouldn't mind maybe 400+ for it

It should be fine, but I'll probably will recommend something like the XPG Core Reactor if you can spend a bit more hmm.gif

Your usage?  Looks good, although I'd swap the GPU to a MSI Ventus RTX2060 Super (about the same price) over this one icon_idea.gif

Klevv is essentially the consumer brand of SK Hynix (one of the largest DRAM manufacturers in the world), and their DRAM chips are often found in many name brand RAM sticks icon_idea.gif

The board is overpriced though and has poor VRMs - look for the B450 Tomahawk MAX or even a decent B550 like:
1. B550M Pro4
2. B550M Steel Legend
3. B550A-Pro
4. B550 Gaming Plus
5. Tuf B550M-Plus Gaming

The PSU should be good enough for this build icon_idea.gif

Also, if you are only gaming, drop the CPU down to a 3600 and put the remaining funds towards a better GPU icon_idea.gif

I do photo editing as well and I've never had a "sort of" high end cpu before so i feel like getting it. So you have any pc shops to reccomend? Also gje gigabyte rtx2060 is rm1299right now
Also should I get a motherboard with wifi built in or do I get a wifi adapter?

Look for DotaTech at Lazada (I think your recommendations come from Dotatech hmm.gif )

Go for a WiFi adapter if you can (preferably a PCIe one, or a M.2 card) icon_idea.gif

The one in the Aorus Pro WiFi isn't that good to say the least icon_idea.gif

You can pick up a MSI 2060 Super for not much more, and it's a faster card overall:

Yeah I see, yesterday I mistook it for 2070 super. My quotation came from etech.Tbh I would probably like to try to build a pc myself but I want the aftersales service of the pc shops.
sadly etech is quite far from where I stayed.Last night I looked around and it looks like Viewnet price is pretty good as well. Maybe if I buy a whole pc from them I can get a disocunt

Hi, i went to another pc shop and they quoted me a pretty nice rig but a corsair cv650 650w bronze psu.
I'm not good at PSUs so i don't know what to say but this psu seems quite cheap to be true. Same specs 16gb ram, ryzen 7 3700x ,rtx2060 super

Wouldn't bother with that one - low end design, meant for entry level gaming machines icon_idea.gif

Do you think the cooler master MWE Gold 650w would work well on my setup? Or should I push my budget to 400+?
