Looks good. Any upgrade based on this if I could scale the budget up to 3K?

Thanks Dude!

BTW, any significant performance gain over 2x8GB ram over 1x16GB? I would prefer to get a single slot of 16GB slot since the price doesn't diff much.

Just play some very old game like L4D2, I assumed some integrated GPU could handle that already. maybe once or twice per month.

Which Intel processor is recommended compare to Ryzen 5 3600?

Saw a few comments about the trust issue (or lansi-ness) with the Salesperson. Would it better to purchase the parts from Lazada rather than go visit the shop?

Can't really find a good item rating on Lazada/Shopee for MSI B460M Bazooka but able to find for Mortar. Does MSI B460M Mortar worth the additional RM 50 - 70 compare to Bazooka?

This is what I found from Shopee (https://shopee.com.my/MSI-B460M-MORTAR-INTEL-B460-LGA1200-MOTHERBOARD-INTEL-10TH-GEN-CPU-COMBO-PROMO-i.18799831.4640553587). RM 529 (mobo alone) vs RM 479 for Bazooka. Or am I looking at different series etc.? not so sure how many variant it has.

When increasing mobo budget it also getting closer the gap between R5 3600 set vs 10400F.

RM 200 more to go for R5 3600... hhmm.



** not so sure about the RX570 price yet, RM 500+ seems is a used/refurbish unit

AMD Ryzen 5 3600 price really gone crazy now. It's around 999/1099 at lazada/shopee, wondering still can find at 899?

OH whats the price bundle with B550m pro4?

Considering 10400f is almost double the price of 10100f. Would an 10100f has better price value ratio compare to 10400f?

Found a used desktop unit with this spec and selling for 2K. Worth that price?

Spec wise I think pretty enough for my usage (may upgrade abit for ssd, wifi). Just not sure if it worth for the price it's selling.

Is PNY XLR8 ram ok? Going to get 2x16GB for my work PC. The price is cheaper than other brands

Does it means B560M with i5-10400 No longer cap at 2666mhz?

B560M start selling already? https://www.lazada.com.my/products/asrock-b...Mm7N2E&search=1

price seems okay

Looking for a custom-built PC for light gaming that works as a second machine. Budget 2.5K+. Using Idealtech to check the pricing of the build. Not necessary to be the exact items for some as I have no idea which is better

Requirements:
- Ryzen 5600G -> Light gaming - CS:GO, L4D2
- 32GB memory
- 1TB NVME
- WiFi 6

The rest are really looking for an expert's suggestion!

Thank you! Refresh the spec with updated pricing from C-zone. Looks okay?

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
