Thanks. This is quite ok with my budget.
One question, if i wanted to use am5, like ryzen 7000 series, how much i need to add in my budget? can squeze within 200 or 300 extra?

AM5 is a lot more expensive. CPU, decent B650 board and DDR5 increases price significantly.

my suggestion its get a top processor dulu.. then gpu buy later.. sure got rich ppl wan to upgrade to super series n sell off their current gpu 1 ma..

then to get a i5 with borderline fhd max out card

All casing is a bit of a stretch with its >160mm height. To fit even maxi SFX casing, tower coolers has to be <155mm ie Mugen 5 (154.5mm) SE226 & 225 (154mm)

IMHO this is a dinosaur from Core2 era, i think ur dealer is trying to make you 'eat' their old unsold stocks leh.

Whatmore for such an ancient design the pricing is truly topkek for asking top dollars. It should not be more than RM160. Sorry to say but for that money can ady get dual tower AK620 with far far better performance

Icic.. I waiting frost spirit oso

5k these days are not a lot of money. Will need to use a lot of previous gen parts. If you need to fit in a GPU, try play around with these specs

CPU 13700F / 14700F (will come in Jan 2024)
MOBO MSI B660M-A DDR4
RAM 32GB (16x2) Corsair vengeance 3200 DDR4
GPU RX6700XT / RX6750XT / RX7700XT (or RTX 4070 if budget can still fit. 7800XT pun boleh but then will need to up the PSU to 750/850W Gold)
SSD 1TB either S70 Blade / Legend 960 / KC3000
PSU MSI MAG A650BN / FSP HVPRO 650W
Case Tecware Nexus Air / Montech Air 1000 (both ATX casing)
or else Nexus Air M2/Forge / Montech Air 100 (MATX casing)

Monitor not included the budget otherwise can only get office/productivity type cheapo monitors.

This will also work for you twkidd

B660m a pro extinction liao... B760m a pro got.. hopefully more max version come out..

Online still can find but yeah prolly dealer channel ady stop selling. Pro B760m-A is just the updated one, still gooding.

PS I forgot to add cooler, but actually can use the Intel stock cooler if budget no more dy later can upgrade to big beefy towers Mugen5, SE226XT, or PA/PS120 /SE and then can unlock PL1 cap.

Wait for frost spirit n frost tower.. this 2 thermalright imba

Found this from a Shopee seller with good price and get most of the item available except for the PSU unit (1stplayer steampunk).

Considering that in the next 3-6 months, I will be getting a GPU in the RX6700XT range, which of the below would be the best value/fit? These are the PSUs I found available from their store, around 400-500 range, and also among the similar Tier (Tier-B, I guess? according to the list I found at cultists)

- Adata Core Reactor 750W - RM 469
- Thermaltake Toughpower Grand RGB 650W - RM 399
- FSP Dagger Pro 650W - RM 455
- FSP Hydro G Pro 750W Gold - RM 499

Maybe those list of PSUs could also be overkill for my spec. Here is the lower price range available from the store: (RM 200 - 400) and wonder if any of this also sufficient/efficient even after adding a GPU?

If can afford up to rm500 for PSU then its either Core Reactor or Hydro GPro. Both are Tier A actually but Im leaning to the Hydro as its made inhouse by FSP while Adata subcontracts to an OEM for their PSU and you might not know what funky thing they change inside.

FYI Dagger Pro is for SFX case. Perf not really an issue but often they have smaller cases and fan so PSU cooling is a bit lower. If ur getting a ATX/MATX case it might not fit (too small if the case not support SFX PSU).

Just give a budget and let sifu Myway quote you. Will kick all these prebuild asses with poor spec parts.

How many tereds you wanna ask this? Rule of thumb when getting used, if you dont mind getting burnt then go ahead, if buy today kaputs next week, then make sure you got money to buy a new GPU or else just make sure you got a CPU with igpu & mobo to output video so you can still use ur PC while saving money to buy a new one.

Ok. looks like AM4 it is.
