Yup yup, that is what I have in mind too, thanks for the advice

Casing wise, I ended up going with the Asus ProArt PA401

Hi guys, anyone can suggest good cpu casing for this setup?

Processor: AMD Ryzen 7 5700x
Mobo: MSI B450M mortar
RAM: XPG Spectrix D41 2x 8GB
GPU: Asus Prime RX 9060 XT 16GB
PSU: FSP hyper M85+ 650W
SSD: XPG SX8200 Pro 256GB
HDD: Seagate Barracuda 1TB
CPU cooler: Cooler Master MasterAir MA410P
Case: Tecware M2 micro

Budget: <RM 200
Appreciate your recommendations.

Do you have intake and exhaust fan in your casing? There is no point changing to another casing with similar performance. Increase your budget and you'll have more options.

Hi guys, going back to this topic... we agree to buy a new gaming pc for my son. Thanks for sharing Wuthering Wave game spec, but of course we are not buying a new pc just so he can play this game. Can I therefore get some suggestions for a decent gaming pc spec, that is currently in the mid range budget, say around RM3000-4000, that would be still usable 2-3 years down the road, and can play other first shooter games in 2025 or near future.

I ask because some say, for example, GPU that is RTX --30, or --50 is not worth buying. Must go for --70, --80, --90. I have no clue, that is why I am asking. Something like
4090 is better than
5030 (not worth although is 5000 series, but is the budget version)

Thank you all in advance.

Thank you TristanX and Babylon. I wonder if this is a good opportunity to have him be patient. The last time ram and hdd prices went up really high that I can recall,  was many years ago. Also cause I have stopped buying pc for many years. But it eventually would come back down like 4-6 months later after production catches back up with demand.

Maybe the other thing to consider is using a Oculink, since he is using minisforum UM870. Minisforum have DEG1 docking station. So I need to buy only 2 things, avoiding hdd and ram :-
- PSU
- GPU

Am I right?

RAM and SSD price hike. Gonna be tough.

Im thinking to buy all these on czone.
anything i can reduce? is cpu stock cooler sufficient?
use case: AI 24/7 non stop running

I’m thinking of upgrading my boot drive SSD.
Currently using a Crucial P3 plus 1TB SSD.

I saw a Crucial T710 2TB with heatsink for sale for ~Rm800 (Amazon Black Friday sales). 

Is it worth the upgrade ?
Will I notice the speed difference ?
Main use is solely gaming and I’m using a mobo with PCIE 4.0 nvme.

Current setup is.
ryzen 7800x3d
Asrock A620i lightning wifi
32GB klevv 6000mhz CL32
RTX5080 windforce OC SFF
Deepcool assassin 4s cpu cooler.
CH160 deepcool case
1TB NVME SSD + 2TB NVME SSD (both crucial p3+).
850W Thermal right gold TG850-W.

or maybe, can consider Kioxia ~ a newcomer..

The link doesn’t seem to be working.
But yeah, my only concern is the warranty.

Any issues past the 30 days return window means I’ll need to ship the part back to crucial US. They’ll honor that, but I’ll likely need to pay for the shipment there. (Would be around Rm 150-200-ish I estimate).

I do intend to upgrade my mobo sometime soon as well.
That’s why the <rm50 difference to future proof it seems worthwhile.

Any chance the SN8100 , samsung 9100 pro or T710 be sold locally at under rm1k for 2TB?

1tb @ Rm462 sold at harvey norman

Hi Sifus,

Planning to get a new PC. Will use it for gaming, watch movies, but of coding.

So far I have these (price from czone):
Any bottlenecks here? Any parts I should swap out? Thanks!

Thanks updated the list.
czone don't seem to have WD SN850X 1TB, so opted for SAMSUNG 990 PRO 1TB for 499. They also don't have B650 PLUS WIFI, only have the B850 one which is more expensive. Don't mind the visual of the casing much, more about the budget and performance.

Comparing czone prices with viewnet, some parts are not available so I've substituted them.

czone:

CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 7500F 3.7GHz 6-Core Processor - RM 599
Cooler: Thermalright Assassin X 120 R SE - RM 79
Motherboard: MSI B850M GAMING PLUS WIFI - RM 849
RAM: Acer Predator Pallas II 32GB (2x16GB) DDR5 6000MHz - RM 729
SSD: Samsung 990 PRO 1TB PCIe 4.0 NVMe - RM 499
GPU: MSI GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 16GB Shadow 2X OC - RM 1,999
PSU: Cooler Master MWE Gold V3 750W 80+ Gold - RM 289
Case: Tecware Fusion Air M2 Mesh - RM 135
Total Est: RM 5,178

viewnet:

CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 7500F 3.7GHz 6-Core Processor - RM 569
Cooler: Thermalright Assassin X 120 R SE - RM 79
Motherboard: MSI B650M GAMING PLUS WIFI - RM 699
RAM: ADATA XPG Lancer Blade 32GB (2x16GB) 6400MHz - RM 549
SSD: WD Black SN850X 1TB PCIe 4.0 NVMe - RM 439
GPU: GALAX GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 16GB 1-Click OC - RM 1,999
PSU: Deepcool PK750D 750W 80+ Bronze - RM 259
Case: Cooler Master TD300 Mesh - RM 199
Total Est: RM 4,792

Anything else you would change? Which one would you choose? Viewnet prices are more competitive.

yup now RAM and SSD so expensive, some part will add it on future
but the RAM they recommend seems old, cant easily find cheap (Crucial DDR5 5600mhz CL46 UDIMM)
if I want to add another 32GB in future, it is i need to find back the same brand, same CL, same speed?
or different brand with same CL, same speed?

Not only RAM and SSD. Motherboard prices these days are insane as well. RM1k+ for high end chipset (and still not high end board). I missed the days where you can get overclockable high end chipset at RM379. Hello? Asus P8Z77-M!

anybody can tell me why 5070 ti sff is so much cheaper than standard? i know coolers cost money, but were talking 700 myr difference here. is there some other catch?

Hello sifus, wanted to check if Gigabyte 5070Ti Eagle OC SFF 16g at 2.9k is it a good deal?

New in custom pc build here.

Price well below MSRP at the moment. 10% is nothing. And RAM doesn't affect only AMD. Let me remind you this is rig suggestion thread.
Those are not cheap. Seagate any Pro series.

Yeah, looking at Lotus Shopee store. Ironwolf 2TB RM400, 4TB RM500. dilenma now
