Hi to all the pros here, I am going to build my own rig for the first time, the one i am currently using was build by viewnet 7 years ago. I figure it's time to change and keep my old pc at my hometown as I travelling weekly. (Don't want to invest in laptop coz it's very expensive)
I would like to seek for advice from u all and see some of the parts, do I really need that specific model or there is alternative?
My current PC spec:
CPU: AMD Phenom II x4 955 Black Edition
CPU cooler: Hyper212 EVO
Mobo: ASUS m4a77td
SSD: Kingston HyperX 3K 120GB, Apacer Panther AS340 120GB
HDD: WD Green 1TB
Ram: Budget Kingston RAM 6GB
GPU: MSI GeForce GTX 1050 Ti 4GT OC
PSU: 500w (don't know what brand)
--------------------------------------------------
My NEW planned PC spec: (RM2800+-) exclude the SSD and GPU (from old PC)
CPU: Ryzen 7 2700X
CPU cooler: Stock wraith prism
Mobo: MSI B450 Tomahawk (owned)
SSD: Kingston HyperX 3K 120GB (from old PC)
HDD: WD Caviar Blue 1TB
Ram: 1 x 8GB Adata XPG D41 3200mhz (Budget problem, will get 2nd stick in future)
GPU: MSI GeForce GTX 1050 Ti 4GT OC (from old PC)
PSU: CM Masterwatt 650w 80plus Bronze semi-fanless
Chasis: CM MasterBox K500L
I am planning to use this PC for another 5-7 years, therefore I choose the high end processor and leave some space for future upgrade.
I am gonna use this rig for designing works (Ai/PS/CorelDraw), video rendering (AfterFx/Premier Pro), and some casual gaming (FIFA title, GTA, Batman AK & etc)
I hope I can get more advice or comment from ppl with experiences in DIY PC. Especially in RAM part, nowadays the price for RAM is crazy. I choose this model becoz it is Ryzen compatible and Samsung chip. Is there any alternative in similar price point?
Same goes to the PSU and HDD...
Thanks in advance.
Building my own PC for the first time, all these parts workable? alternative?
