Even it might run games at higher FPS, some games may 'cheat' by using automatic texture quality scaling. FPS usually don't tell the whole story
There are plenty of articles that 8GB VRAM is simply not good enough for modern games, and especially with the fact that 1440p is basically the norm for many gamers these days

The A-BNL PSU is a worse version of the A-BN

Get the normal A-BN instead:

250GB drive is barely useable considering most titles can go 100+ GB these days

hustlerism It's actually possible to do a gaming machine under 2.5K, but expect quite a bit of cuts:

i3 12100F - RM334
MSI H610M-E - RM258
2x8GB DDR4 3200 - RM224
Adata Legend 900 512GB - RM155 (DRAMless, but has HMB which uses your PC's memory as a DRAM)
ASRock Intel ARC B580 Challenger 12GB - RM1194
MSI A650BN - RM190
Montech Air 100 Lite - RM143

Total: RM2498

Tip: take advantage of the Shopee/Lazada 11.11 sales for bigger discount

Swap CPU and board for a Ryzen 5500 and Gigabyte A520M-K V2 for RM254 and RM184 respectively if you want to get closer to the original RM2K mark

For that build, it'll cost you around RM2344, and those are new parts

I'm not going to reply much, as TristanX already has reiterated many times

Usage?

RM5.7K and a H810 board with low quality PSU?
16GB is hardly enough for a gaming build these days (probably single channel)

Arrow Lake isn't exactly a good performer in gaming, but I presume you also want it for productivity?

What workloads?

H810 is a bargain bin tier chipset, won't recommend it for a high end build, and the PSU is a double forward + DC-DC unit which is fine for an entry level machine, but not something like a 5070 Ti
If you can afford a 5070 Ti you certainly can get much better PSUs than that
Does your workload rely on more GPU memory?

Definitely a better choice, if you don't mind the somewhat mediocre fan

Currently ranked as a Tier B+ unit, but has no proper reviews at the moment

The Antec 1300G is even better, but way overkill for your build

Are you ordering from Idealtech?

GPU mining these days isn't worth it though

Tip: don't feed the trolls

Calling me as an AMD fanboy is a serious stretch considering my current machine has a 5070 Ti right now
