Its tough to say, RM 3k isnt a lot, just enough +/- for a 5070 (MSRP model) but your also need 700/750W PSU as I doubt your current system have something this big yea. That adds another RM 300-400.

Will tariff hits us? Im quite sure USA MSRP will go up leading to global MSRP going up too. Our local prices always USA MSRP + distro markup, so make your own conclusion. Even if not kena our distros here also known to charge higher if they can.

If you can top up RM 6-700 ontop that 3k imho upgrade to 5070 & 750W PSU, and the RM 10k will help a lot for a system rebuild later on once tariff hits.

Ryzen 7 7700X / 7800x3d / 9800x3d (depends on how much you want to spend)
Thermalright PA120 SE /IDC Frozn A620
MSI B650/M Gaming Plus WiFi (either ATX or MATX version whichever available) or B850 Gaming Plus WiFi
Kingston Fury DDR5-6000 64GB
Kingston KC3000 2TB SSD
Case depends on your preference

For which mobo? Not just the VRM count but also what type of VRM and the amp per VRM set (usually will say 50A, 60A, 80A, etc)

Freesync premium is nearly always Gsync compatible. However if you want full Gsync features have to get those monitors with built in Gsnyc module.

One is Gen4 the other is Gen3 however one has DRAM the other is DRAMless. Like comparing apples & oranges. Will need to depend on your use case to decide which is "better".

DRAMless and isnt that much faster than Gen3 speed.

Mainly comparo with NV3 even its pisspoor hardware, the changing BOM was said to guarantee wont significantly affect the perf (ie 6000 Read, 5000 Write, TBW) which still runs higher than SN580. Its known the NAND is QLC, and DRAMless controller. You cant really get any worse than Phison E27T + whatever QLC flash which widely reviewed to be okay.

Heck if they even tried to cheapen that, they might end up using all Chinese Maxio MAP1602 + YMTC QLC which is a better combo than the above!

Modern QLC based drives arent too bad these day, its pSLC even outlasting DRAM drives like P44Pro & SN850 believe it or not



Would anyone be transferring 500GB of uncompressed data? Hardly. I would still prefer DRAM drives for read/write intensive use like OS but as for storage, QLC has came a long way.

Usually ones with those sticker are official distro/reseller, they will get official approval to handle warranty claims. Those without are parallel imports where they/you need to deal direct with the reseller where the item originated from.

What monitor resolution will be these 2/3 monitors?

Reviews dont show any issues. Technically its competently designed https://xanxogaming.com/en/reviews/fanxiang-s770-4tb-review/

It uses Innogrit controller with DRAM, top rated performer. NAND flash can be various source, can be Micron, the worst is YMTC which usually used in cheap DRAMless SSD but perf near similar.
So consider the pricing if its cheap enuff why not. Just that its a China make brand and warranty will be dubious.

EDIT: Bear in mind, unlike the Fanxiang unit, SN580 is DRAMless hence will have the limitations of that tech. Avoid using it for OS boot drive.

Suddenly NV3 is reco pulak!

Spatium m470 is just another Phison DRAM + TLC NAND SSD really doesnt stand out from the others. Buy if its the cheapest than the others.

EDIT: Pro and nonPro are very different drives. AI might give the wrong info when it confuses between these 2 models.

I think can utilise the CPU own igpu function for this. Get a mobo with lotsa video ports such as below

i7 12700 / 13700 (the regular version, not 'F' sku!)
TR PA120SE/ IDC Frozn A620 Cooler
MSI Pro-B760M-A Wifi DDR4 (has 2 HDMI + 2 DP ports out to 4K each)
2x 16GB 3200MHZ DDR4 (get Kingston ValueRAM for stability, no need XMP)
Seagate Firecude 530 1TB (highest TBW rated Gen4 SSD plus free data recovery svc)
FSP Vita GM 1000W (you want efficiency at 50% load which is 500W for max save electric)
Case anything goes, Lianli Lancool 206/ 207/ 215/ 216/ 217 (depends your preference)

Optional
2TB NV3 if you use a lot of storage
RTX 3050 in case the iGPU isnt enuff for the display

Altogether I think wont reach RM 5k.

Both are very different SSD
Spatium M470 - comes with DRAM
Spatium M470 Pro - is HMB DRAMless & like with QLC NAND

Which is why you see TBW is much different.

AA is official distro for Kingston products.

Kingston has a few official distros lah

If you can topup the difference as it comes with Win11 Pro ady.

Nothing that uses more than 200-230W TDP.

Good luck. B580 is not available anywhere in this world at MSRP, that is if you can even get stock. Deswai no point to reco a nonexistent GPU when others ie 5060 is affordable and available and Geforce stocks are getting better with time.

IF you got app that can utilise all 16 threads, better go with 9700X as the thread load is easily balanced by Windows. X3D CPU only has 3D cache on 1 CCD so workflow will be unbalance if half goes to the 'faster' CCD and the other process goes to 'slower' CCD. If you do video editing stick to nonX3D.
