Motherboard has good VRM and more features. Can even overclock 3950X. Can go cheaper ones like Asus X750 TUF Plus or Gigabyte X570 Aorus Elite if you dont need to upgrade CPU or overclock.

3700X does not have overheat issue. Performance? Laughs at i7-9700K.

Yes, you can go RTX 2080 for cheaper stuff.

Hi guys, I am thinking to replace my current "soon gonna spoilt"  U2311H monitor to 27inch monitor to enable 4k. Is my rig below still capable to handle 4k? Is there any part needed to be upgraded to have experience on 4k? My purpose mostly is watching movie, novel, comic reading plus some minor gaming.

CPU: i7-3770K
CPU Cooler: CM Hyper 212 Evo
Mobo: Asrock Z77 Extreme 4

Monitor: U2311H

This new Ryzen  3000  seems have so many  compatibility issues . 

i am reading  more people  getting system freeze  due to compatibility issues between  cpu ,  ram , mother board and even  Win 10  and PSU  ! 
IS it worth the  stress and headaches.

you spend good money  and  face problems  like random system freeze.
I think  they will need  more time to  fix all this  issues as more complaints come up.

Ryzen 3000 Launch Problem Compilation

All these reviewers have had smooth sailings on their CPUs and Motherboards with weird hickups here and there but it's been a mess for the average joe who can't afford or doesn't want to spend money on a "high-end" motherboard for what is supposed to be budget CPUs. (3600 etc.)

Unfortunately a lot of people who bought supposedly compatible B350, B450 or any updateable with BIOS have been having so many issues it's crazy, I was one of them and I managed to get it running eventually through a lot of headaches and a lot of cursing. People have had issues where their system doesn't post regularly but only sometimes, they had to find out weird ways of holding buttons down so their motherboard actually recognizes their CPU (I mean what the fuck!?), some had their PCs stop posting over night after they thought they fixed it, and just in general crashes and not even being able to update BIOS. I've seen dozens and dozens of posts saying they returned or refunded their motherboards and CPUs, or for some who are not so lucky that said they will wait out for a week or so to finally get a good bios update.
● WHEA Errors with both AMD and Nvidia cards, risking OS Corruption. Still hasn't been acknowledged by AMD. Update: AMD_Robert commented on it already

● NVME not working with earlier motherboards

● Advertised Boost Clocks not being reached

● CPUs not booting even on latest bios (e.g. MSI Tomahawk, MSI x570 Gaming Plus)

● Problems with games (e.g. Destiny 2 doesn't even launch)

● Linux distributions using recent systemd versions are affected by a Zen 2 RDRAND bug

● High voltage when idle (amd_robert already acknowledged it)

● RAM doesn't reach rated speeds

Lowering CPU voltage with an -0.1V offset

Manually setting CPU ratio

Disabling C state

Manually setting timings and speed for memory

system freeze 

Other things I can't remember but should fucking be set up automatically by the BIOS in working condition

Budget is the main issue a? If i were to get a build 1st, and upgrade in next year like that?
Anything can cut down abit?

And...sifu, i heard market rumors, from a few friends, year end there will normally have a price drop on all the parts, is it true?
Would u recommend to buy now, or to wait till like, pre-CNY, to get a better deal in terms of price?

Never a fans of ASRock mobo, don't see any reason recommending it after seeing the lame update and cost-cutting on the power delivery.

Historically, only MSI spent effort on the first gen Ryzen, the other manufacturers just simply not doing that.  The MSI tester, toppc lin also show up actively to tell what they are working on and explain what is working, not working, and the reason behind.

great info .
yes  i see your point about MSI  .
they come up with the MAX so fast

Only the very fancy GUI got cut off (still with a basic GUI though), the rest remains.

both also m.2 what...

ohh TIL

have to do some googling now 

Just curious.. Any reason for waiting Ryzen 5 3500? The i5-8500 (6 cores) processor is about the same (MYR 800+) price range as the Ryzen 5 3600 with (6 cores / 12 threads). Why not go with the same Processor / Motherboard combo in your sig?

Budget 4000, no need monitor, need ssd, need rog motherboard, can recommend me?

What about this:

CPU: AMD RYZEN 5 3600 RM853.00
MOBO: ASUS ROG STRIX B450-F GAMING RM509.00
RAM: T-FORCE DELTA RGB 16GB (2X8GB) DDR4 3200MHZ RM395.00
GPU: ZOTAC RTX 2060 AMP 6GB GDDR6 RM1,422.00
SSD: XPG 256GB SX8200 PRO NVME M.2 RM205.00
HDD: SEAGATE 3.5' BARRACUDA 1TB RM189.00
PSU: FSP 550W HYDRO GE 80+ GOLD FULL MODULAR RM322.00
CASE: TECWARE NEXUS EVO ARGB TG ATX CHASSIS RM185.00

Total: RM4,080 (E Tech PC prices)

Haggle with them for better price.

What about these:

CPU: AMD RYZEN 5 3600 4.2GHZ RM853.00
MOBO: MSI B450 TOMAHAWK MAX RM509.00
RAM: T-FORCE DELTA RGB 16GB (2X8GB) DDR4 3200MHZ RM395.00
GPU: XFX RADEON RX 5700 XT THICC II 8GB GDDR6 RM1,995.00
SSD: GALAX 960GB GAMER L SERIES SSD RM388.00
PSU: FSP 650W HYDRO GE 80+ GOLD FULL MODULAR RM368.00

Total: RM4,508 (E Tech PC prices)

Galax Gamer L SSD is dramless which is not recommended.

Those would be over his budget by RM200.

Alternatively, can consider Gigabyte RX 5700 XT for the same price too @ RM1,950. See link below for review:

Nvidia all the way....  Radeon RX 5700 XT vs GeForce RTX 2070 Super

ZOTAC RTX 2070 SUPER AIR 8GB GDDR6 - ZT-T20710E-10M RM 2,049.00

Hi all. im interested in building a rig. would really appreciate if you can help me on suggestion as im not really good with technical stuffs.
Thanks!

[Budget] RM 3k max. Lower would be great!

[Purpose] Average gaming, browsing, media.

[Hardwares that will be re-use] None

[Monitor resolution] Please suggest me

[Games & softwares that use frequently] The Witcher 3 (this would be the most demanding spec game), Football Manager and some other low requirement games.
