[Budget] RM3000 for cpu, mobo and ram
[Purpose] mainly gaming
[Hardwares that will be re-use] gtx 1070, cooler master psu 550w, 3 ssd, 1 hdd 1x 8gb ram, acer 144hz 1080p monitor.
[Games & softwares that use frequently] dota2, final fantasy 15, fallout4 & skyrim mod, pubg and fortnite

I'm not sure whether to go with intel or ryzen cpu, 8gb or 16gb ram, and i dont know if my 550w psu is enough to power the upgraded components. need some advice on this.

QUOTE(Kristal.S @ Jun 9 2018, 12:15 PM) CPU: CORE I7 8700 (6C/12T) RM1210 MOBO: ASUS ROG STRIX H370-F GAMING RM659 RAM: CORSAIR 2666C16 (2X8GB) VENGEANCE CMR RGB RM847 If you're only looking to game, Intel still gives better performance. 8GB is sufficient for most games these days but since you have quite a bit of budget to upgrade, you could get 16GB for more headroom. Whats the exact model of your PSU? If you have a good PSU, 550w will be enough. Thanks for the suggestion, my PSU is cooler master g550m. I don't need RGB, is there any better: Mobo with more features/cheaper? 16gb ram with higher MHz/cheaper? Thank you

QUOTE(Kristal.S @ Jun 9 2018, 04:03 PM) CPU: CORE I7 8700 (6C/12T) RM1210 MOBO: ASUS PRIME H370 PLUS RM519 RAM: CORSAIR 2666C16 (2X8GB) VENGEANCE LPX RM800 What other features do you need? H370 mobos have most of the features you need for a locked processor. No point getting high MHZ ram if you're going with H370 mobos as they only support up to 2666MHZ. QUOTE(Helldana @ Jun 9 2018, 06:45 PM) AS what Kristal said, the H370 is filled with tons of features already for a locked CPU. H370 and B360 motherboards can only support up to 2666Mhz so there's no point for you on getting any higher than that. If you want more "power", then you'll have to get an unlocked CPU and go with Z370. There you can opt for higher RAM speeds. However, none of these options are cheaper by any mean, it only gets more expensive. thank you

QUOTE(AssToast @ Sep 4 2020, 11:02 PM) You might wanna look at Gamers Nexus video on choosing PSUs before deciding to buy a 850W psu. I check psu calculator, I will use 608w out of my 650w in load. By my understanding, psu should have more headroom so can last longer. In that video use rtx 2080ti, ~277w on load. Rtx 3080 is 320w, aib sure become ~350 bcuz got oc So why should I not upgrade? My understanding of tech is not good so please clarify
