Hi sifus, im thinking to upgrade my ryzen 3 1200 to ryzen 5..but unsure which one to pick, will be paired with r9 380 and 8gb ram...

today finally place order for my 2700X   .....replacing my old i5-750 bought 9 years ago...

For some gaming and light editing..

I need more cores to run some vm for my own testing at home. Previously was thinking Intel 8 cores. That why choose ryzen 7.

Been thinking to change pc since years ago.

Hi i need some advice, i plan to upgrade my PC, can refer my signature. What is the best choice, if i just upgrade my CPU, Motherboard and RAM, budget about RM2.5K.

Tempting on Ryzen 2700x due to more cores. mostly use for gaming, FPS game, NBA game, Monster Hunter World, CSGO and 1080p or 4K video editing, Adobe After Effect, Premiere Pro, Wondershare Filmora.

My concern, i just think about the RAM memory, the price is still high, should i get lower clock speed ram and overclock it to 3000-3200mhz? is the Fury Hyperx ram good?

And networking setup VMware, virtual server..etc.

Should i go for Intel or Ryzen?

Thanks for your comment, anyway for video editing experience on my rig, i think not enough, personal experience i feel slow 1080p video exporting, slow timeline playback,  overall experience not that great. when during video rendering, my pc totally freeze, and i cannot do anything. =..= got to use laptop, but sometimes all my source files are placed in my desktop. so got to copy it out. but sometimes the system might stopped running, if i continue do multi tasking work.

RM500 to RM600+

X470 MSI gaming Plus or gigabyte aorus ultra gaming

Regarding to the ram, i watched youtube, a lot of youtuber also mention that ryzen 2700x cpu performance 10-20% improve due to higher speed ram.

For video editing, the software must support gpu accelerated enc/decoding, else you prolly need threadripper but also slower than gpu acceleration 
Check the ram usage, most likely the cpu doing all the works which cause the slow down, ram usage overload mostly will cause the app to crash only.
Video editing rarely use a lot of ram especially 1080p only.

Gpu acceleration is the way to go, nowadays not only video playback are gpu accelerated, web layout, font rendering, compositing, css animation and so on on your web browser, are already accelerated by GPU.

Just built a Ryzen before SST hits, trying to get the RAM QVL listed is darn hard, had to search up and down in lowyat before I got one. I had it all up and stable now, just left one thing, I need the cooler upgraded, any recommendations? Budget around 200-300 MYR.
For 2600X. Now using stock Wraith Spire, getting 75-78c on load, around 60-65 during gaming and 40-41c during idle, looking something better to bring down the temp a little bit.

Ryzen 3000 leaked spec rumours
https://wccftech.com/amd-ryzen-3000-specs-p...-5-1ghz-on-am4/

Ryzen 5 3600X will have 8C16T, boost to 4.8ghz
Might be faster than 2700X

Ryzen 7 3700X will have 12C24T, boost to 5.0ghz
Might be faster than 2700X by 50%

And then there's Ryzen 9, 16 Cores 32 Threads, Up to 5.1ghz...

So fast already feel 2700X is very outdated...

I run Steel Legend with memory up to 3600MHz leh, you sure it's the board problem?

Which processor you have problem with running to 3200MHz?

Don't get 2400g.
Get 2600 and some cheap used gpu.

2400g is not worth it. Unless you want to use onboard exclusively.
Get 2600 and use your 7750 or get rx570 used for rm300.

And wait for 4600 next year.
Or don't buy and wait for 4600.

Hi guys, been out of the PC gaming scene for a while (work kids etc..life hehe). Looking to build a decent gaming rig so below is my shortlist for the base build:

Ryzen 5 3600
Asus B450-F Rog Strix Gaming
Asus RTX 2060 Super Rog Strix (going for 1440p)
Kingston HyperX Predator 16GB CL16 (HX432C16PB3AK2/16)
240 AIO (maybe) or CM 212

Been reading a lot about Ryzen 3000 series issues with mobo & RAM so hopefully nothing bad happens. I've checked the RAM and it is on the QVL for the Asus board and 3rd Gen Ryzen ready (https://www.amd.com/en/products/ryzen-compatible-memory/ready-for-3rd-gen-amd-ryzen) and its cheap.

Thinking about going to x470 or even x570 boards but for the R5 3600 B450 should be ok. Won't be doing crazy overclock, maybe just a bit but might need to OC the RAM though or hope it works with XMP.

So any comments, suggestions etc. would be very welcome    TQ

Thanks for the feedback.

Was looking at the MSI Gaming Pro Carbon AC too. I'm looking to build sort of a themed build so thats where the ROG stuff comes in. If I'm going for MSI then maybe I'll get a MSI RTX 2060S 

What’s so good about x570 motherboard?
