Hello sifu out there,

Currently I have bought parts as following:-

Casing - Cooler Master Masterbox 5
PSU Super Flower Leadex II Gold 650W
SSD Samsung 850 EVO 250GB
HDD WD Blue 1TB
RAM G.Skill RipJaws V 2800MHz 8GB x 3
Fan Cooler Master Air Balance x 2, Air Pressure x 1, Noctua NF-A14 3000 PWM x2
CPU cooler Cooler Master Hyper 212X?

Would like recommendation on the rest components:
CPU
Mobo (If it comes with WiFi then great!)
GPU (Very very light gaming)
CPU cooler? (Heard CM hyper 212X is good? Or any good air cooler choices here?)
Monitor (preferable 23 and above, can recommend few choices here?)
Lightning isolator/ Protector / etc?

No overclock, budget around 2.5 - 3k

Hi, thanks for your input.
Probably just light - medium gaming..Is Ryzen lack quite a bit in term of gaming? If yes, how much need to top up for intel build?
For the mobo, may I know MASTER SLI is referring to model specific or bios unlock?
Besides viewsonic, any other monitor model would you recommend ?

Thanks again!

Cooler Master Masterbox 5
Super Flower Leadex II Gold 650W
Samsung 850 EVO 250GB
WD Blue 1TB
G.Skill RipJaws V 2800MHz 8GB x 3

[Personal preferences] A good solid motherboard with memory slot x 4 (since I have 3x 8gb now) and maybe just a okay graphic card..

Would like to follow up on previous recommendations:-
AMD Ryzen 5 2600X (still best for buck right?)
Asus Prime B450M-K (but this board only has 2 memory slots. Am I right? If yes, any equivalent 4 slots board please? )
GALAX GTX1050TI 4G EXOC (will this overkill coz rarely gaming )

Hello sifus, looking to build a rig from reusing the existing components I have now

[Budget] No idea how much hardware cost now, looking for best bang for the buck

[Purpose] normal browsing, casual 1080p gaming (no need max graphics settings)

[Hardwares that will be re-use] GTX1650 super, Pure power 11 650w, Samsung 850 SSD, some old sata HDD, 32' monitor, Mouse, keyboard, some DDR3 memory if possible?

[Monitor resolution] 2k resolution IPS

[Games & softwares that use frequently] Normal browser, casual gaming, trading

[Personal preferences] None

[Location] PJ, or online

Can the Gtx1650 slot into this Asus mobo? Will upgrade GPU next round.

How about casing, cooler? Any recommendations please?

Hi Sifu here,

Exploring to replace my old SATA hard disk.

Just to double confirm if this Kingston KC3000 PCIe 4.0 https://www.kingston.com/en/ssd/kc3000-nvme...?capacity=512gb can be supported on my motherboard please?
