Hey guys, building my PC for the first time for mainly CS2 and some data solver work, so far I've got:

Monitor - Dell D2724D
AMD Ryzen 5600X
GIGABYTE B550m
SAPPHIRE NITRO RX 6700X
32GB RAM
1 TB SSD
Cooler?
PSU?


Any idea what brand will be suitable for this rig? I'm a newbie so correct my build if you think something is wrong.

Oh thanks bro, I'll check them out. The SSD and RAM doesn't matter which brand right? Feel like all the same as long as I get at least DDR4 3200 to go with the msi mobo?

All of them are full ATX so features aplenty unless ur aiming for specific capabilities (ie better audios on the Tomahawk).

Depending on which is ur CPU, all of them are able to OC to varying degrees. The -P has weakest VRM amongst so it will have decent OC thermals, -A & Tomahawk has nearly the same VRM (Toma slightly better) so ur paying more for the MAG bling both will OC similarly I guess. Go whichever meets ur needs and ur bling/budget preference.

Say NO to Gigashit for their backdoor bios & unintuitive bios interface. MSI has the more stable bios.

Whats ur budget anyways? Its good idea to plan early and have an idea what you can get today then tweak around it when comes time to buy

AMD Ryzen 5600X
GIGABYTE B550m (change to MSI / Asrock B550M. Avoid Giga backdoor bios. Oso that VRM is pisspoor for OCing)
SAPPHIRE NITRO RX 6700XT (might be phased out soon so plan for alternative)
32GB RAM Corsair Vengence 16x2 3200MHZ (buy today if possible as RAM prices will go up next year)
1 TB SSD (KC3000, Adata S70/ Legend 960, any with DRAM will do fine)
Cooler? AMD stock cooler is okay but if got extra budget then ID SE224XT, Jonsbo CR1400 (but if OCing then PA120/SE)
PSU? 1st player steampunk 850 gold RM399 (if going basic then MSI MAG A650BN for about RM250)

LOL AMD suddenly realised their AM5 is way too expensive but cannot dumb it down past pisspoor A620 to make it cheap for their fanbase. So now they have to uncancel AM4 EOL platform and making new ones to keep budget AMD buyers in their pockets.

Many reviewers whack Intel for 14th gen as 13 refresh but in reality Intel fanbois are still getting a next gen CPU which can be paired with cheaper DDR4 mobos for a price parity with AM4 and defo under AM5 cost.

AM5 was a mistake to support only DDR5. By the time this RAM reach price parity with high capacity DDR4, Intel will launch DDR5 exclusive Arrowlake.

Hi all, any recommendation for a 2k build without GPU? I have a spare 1060 at home and I want to build for my parents.

I've scroll past some post back here and was wondering if I could get more up-to-date build. Much appreciated and thanks in advance!

For 2k only aint going to get the latest stuff sorry to say.

Go with Myway reco, but if want to meet ur budget cap swap the Steampunk PSU with MAG A650BN for rm130 less, then ngam at ur budget for rm2011. Sometimes that goes less than RRP so ur total budget could still under 2k. Good luck!

Not bad. 3080 Ti about less than RM 1800. Casing might be too weak though.
