Very poor specs. 3k is what I would reco for decent system, better save up than regret later

Intel Core i5-12400F
MSI B760M-E DDR4 (or any B660/B760 mobo is okay)
Corsair/Kingston ValueRAM 16GB (2×8GB) DDR4 3200MHz
Adata S70/ Legend 960Max 1TB SATA SSD
RTX 5060 8GB (editing takes advantage of Nvidia features) (or RTX 5050 if budget is over limit)
FSP HV Pro 550W / 650W 80+ Bronze (or else MSI A650BN if its cheaper)
MATX case with airflow (ie Tecware M2, Montech Air 100)

Or go with Tristanx reco for longevity but running off iGPU which you can dump in a GPU when you have money later.
Core i7-14700 - 1270 (Just IT)
Thermalright Royal Pretor 130 - 186 (Dotatech)
MSI B760M Mortar Wifi II DDR5 - 571 (PCU Legacy)
Corsair Vengeance 16GB DDR5-5600 CL40 X2 - 448 (All IT)
Kingston KC3000 512GB - 221 (All IT)
MSI A650BN - 187 (MSI)
Montech Air 100 - 143 (Just IT)
RM3026 total (Shopee prices)

Hard facepalm for RX6000 owners when their cards not even that old to start to be deprecated.

Particularly the 6700xt was a frequent reco here over RTX 8GB cards. Ironically now these Nvidia cards would still be playable into the future albeit less optimum but at least better than not being able to play if older Radeons dont get driver updates for latest games.

Nuh uh. No not really

I guess your the gullible type to believe on one source. A source thats been debunked by few reviewers (inc GN above but heres another one)

(watch the video at 3:27, not just see the headline bcoz its a red herring)

I rather stand by what I reco, and that is not unusable ewaste 12GB cards just coz AMD is greedy now. Based on precedent, RTX 3000 8GB cards are only halfway thru their supported lifecycle while its contemporary RX6000 is being obsoleted. Like the other Steve said, I too would be hesitant to reco AMD cards in future.

Between playing poorly and not being able to play at all, im sure mostly will chose the former. Good luck with a blank screen.

Yeah sure. Slideshow still better than black screens. Whatever.
AMD done this before. 1st Gen Ryzen mobos were removed from supporting newer AM4 CPUs until they walk back after much backlash but then not all older mobos had support. At this stage Im not confident AMD actually cares for their existing users but sure, continue your AMD fanboyism shill. Fanbois are all so gullible.

Here is another for you to swallow

After the massive backlash (again! harken back Ryzen 1st gen mobo support), AMD has Uturn on their lower prioritisation game support for RDNA1/2 (again! like Ryzen 1st gen mobos).



But how long will AMD commitment remain? Since the main issue is RDNA1/2 are still parked under Maintenance Mode status and not back to main driver prioritisation, so is AMD hoping the heat dies down in time and they can go back to release game drivers when they so chooses?

Lets see then how AMD fanbois are coping this, maybe they should start making their own noises if they cant play the latest games due to late drivers coming instead of fawning over that brand (no their not your friend nor saviour to Nvidia evilness!).

Meanwhile Intel is actually doing better at game ready ARC driver support than AMD. Go figure. At least they arent as broken as AMD nowadays



9060XT 16GB doing worse than 5060 8GB? LOL!

Expect in general, hardware prices to go up as various IT products are tied to TSMC; AMD Ryzens & Intel CPU chiplets made by TSMC, many SSD controllers are also by TSMC ie Phison, Innogrit, SM, Maxio?, ARM Cortex SOC in phones & handhelds are fabricated near exclusively by TSMC.

Even those few vertically integrated inhouse made (Samsung, Hynix) would also take opportunity to raise prices in keeping with the industry.

Dont say I never warn people. Prices of RAM & SSD are shooting up and soon this after CPU prices will up as well.

You only got half the story
Heres a podcast telling the whole saga and how AMD did 180 degrees turn, and even then the main question of what RDNA2 being in Maintenance mode means in future when the noise has died down

Whats your use case? It seems like everything has been pared down just to fit a 5070Ti into the build.

If gaming I see few issues
That mobo is absolute dogshit with poor VRMs. At least B860 MSI Pro or Asrock Pro RS
That SSD is DRAMless. At least S70 Blade or T-FORCE G70 PRO both with DRAM cache
That RAM CL timings isnt very good with newer kits at CL28-30 but looking at RAM prices its better than nothing
That PSU is C tier and while I think its enough for the job, imho for 5070Ti class GPU I would go with Gold rated unit to better safeguard that expensive GPU

Sorry to say it feels very unbalanced unless your making full use GPU for work or encoding.

EDIT: Just saw your purpose is for mining. Is that reliant on CUDA? iirc Radeons are better at mining (RX580 was lejen), so you may want consider 9060XT/9070.

Fanbois can reiterate as many times but cannot be denied it was a PR disaster and just waiting for owners to find out if Maintenance Mode really is what it means.

Can ask sifu Myway for his reco based on your use case, he could also tell your budget enough or not.

TBF that AYW mobo isnt any better than that MSI mobo, sorry to say, both having 6 VRMS on the Vcore. See if can up budget to MSI B860M Gaming Wifi.

For PSU if you dont mind the oddity of its connectors, a better deal is Lianli Edge EG750 as its Gold rated and A Tier. Idealtech are throwing prices on these.

TBH your build is solid but overspecced for casual usage. For video editing I would reco go with Intel rig as video editing can make use of Intel Quicksync. AMD encoders are not there yet. Perhaps Ultra285 nonK + Z890 Tomahawk Wifi?

As for nonRGB case, go with Corsair 4000D or else bigger is 5000D or else bigger is 7000D or else the biggest kahuna 9000

Dont bother waiting https://www.techspot.com/news/110176-ram-sh...x-50-super.html

Since your going to have RTX card its not too bad as you can also leverage on NVENC encoders for quick & dirty transcoding. However I find that its not very space compact unlike using CPU encoding. 9900X will work well with Handbrake & others that utilise multicores/threads. Going AMD is not too bad in that sense.

If your planning a build soon better dont wait, RAM, SSD, even HDD prices are rising fast, GPU prices likely will soon hike due to GDDR getting more expensive, AMD might follow Intel to raise CPU prices too.

Here are the Wuthering Waves System Requirements (Minimum)

Wuthering Waves Recommended Requirements
CPU: Intel Core i7 (9th Gen) / Ryzen 7 3700
RAM: 16 GB
VIDEO CARD: GeForce RTX 2060 / Radeon RX 5700 XT and Above

While your Minisforum PC has specs barely meet the minimum, the GPU is 780M which is around GTX1650 level, so below even the minimum. 24 FPS is not a playable experience if fast pacing and accurate timing action is required.
