[Budget] RM3k +/-

[Purpose] 3A games (not often, but my last game is cyberpunk 2077 for reference), Autocad, Glodon software

[Hardwares that will be re-use] GDDR5 SAPPHIRE PULSE RX 5700 XT, WD blue 6TB HDD

Case wise perhaps something like Fractual Design Pop Air/ Torrent or LianLi Lancool III


Upgrading my old Rig and need some recommendation biggrin.gif
btw since I am in no rush for upgrading, is it better to wait out 13th gen for value?

Thanks Sifu. Any idea where to get the i5-14500?
I checked viewnet and c-zone seems like they only have 14400,14600,14700 sweat.gif

Any significant improvement if we fully utilized the RM4k? (eg. opts for DDR5 Ram instead of DDR4 Ram)
Doesn't mind to top up a bit to have better cost-performance ratio and future proof tongue.gif

If target future AAA games, you might need to consider upgrading the GPU sooner than later. For now its still okaylah.

Yeah man, also my other concern is underpowered PSU and insufficient space in my mid tower during future GPU upgrade sweat.gif

There isnt a right nor wrong since your budget agak can do either DDR4 or 5, but for your use case (Light gaming / Leisure / Light Work) its kinda wasted since you wont feel a thing difference unless your extreme gamer where 10% FPS more in an 200 FPS game can mean everything. What you do is waste money on something you will most likely cannot feel instead of seeding money for a future GPU upgrade.

Talking about future proof, this LGA1700 platform is ady dead dodo after 14th gen. And 14500 is nonK so its XMP RAM speed is limited, at 6000 to 7000 is most cost effective where thru put start becoming higher than 3200MHZ DDR4 but anything higher is still expensive yet you cannot feel as your not OCing the CPU.

Thats my 2sen but its your money so its your decision.

Thank you on your valuable insight, this makes perfect sense. thumbup.gif
On the other hand I guess no point to wait for next gen LGA1851 since GPU and SSD hardly fully utilize the bandwidth gain from new socket?

Plus intel change socket every 3-ish gen and general use case probably gonna skip another gen of socket for the next upgrade (5years +/-)
