o? can u suggest a build to me?
Essentially just swap the CPU to a Ryzen 5 1600 - saves RM560
and add a Samsung 850 EVO 250GB for RM509. Though other SSD brands such as Sandisk/Intel will work fine too (just make sure you buy at least 240/250/256GB storage or else you may have problems with it)
If you do not intend to store lots of data consider remove the hard drive from
TristanX list, and upgrade the 850 EVO to a 500GB variant (+RM300)
TL:DR version:
From
TristanX build,
1. Downgrade CPU to Ryzen 5 1600 (-RM560)
2. Add Samsung 850 EVO 250GB (+RM509)
Optional upgrades:
1. Remove HDD and upgrade to 850 EVO to 500GB (+RM300)
2. Upgrade RAM to 8GB to 16GB (if your budget permits)
You can always add a HDD at a later time when you have extra money.
Prices are quoted from Idealtech.
Sure you get less threads and potentially less performance - though the difference in real world may not be very big. In fact it's somewhat more balanced compared to
TristanX build as a SSD will keep productivity going (no need to wait for slow HDDs dragging your PC down)
You can run a SSD alongside with a HDD. Just make sure that Windows is installed on the SSD, as well as your important programs. Files or programs that do not benefit from faster speeds from a SSD (such as small documents or programs) can be stored on the HDD itself.
