Hi guys, as per my tittle ... looking to get myself a new desktop but it has been few years not updating myself in IT... any suggestion for a gaming rig that budgeted around 5~6 k?

Hmmm... budget exclusive of mouses keyboard those, focus on the rig and monitor ...

Any suggestion ???

Ryzen 4000 & RTX3000 series GPU will come in 2 or 3 months, looks like currently is not a good time to buy unless you urgently need it.

How about these?

AMD Ryzen 5 3600 - 799
Scythe Mugen 5 Rev.B - 209
Asus TUF B550M-PLUS Gaming - 635
Kingston 8GB DDR4-3200 X2 - 318
Gigabyte RX 5700 XT Gaming OC - 2099
PNY CS 3030 500GB - 359
FSP Hydro GE 650W - 409
Phanteks Eclipse P400A case - 319
Asus VG249Q - 849 (may need u to buy from somewhere else)

RM5996 total (C-Zone prices)

If you are streaming, I would recommend RTX 2070 Super instead. AMD VCE is crap.

can probably shave a bit off to get the RTX

Asrock B550M Pro4 - 460
FSP Hydro GD 650W 80+ Gold (Non Modular) - 340
Gigabyte RTX 2070 Super Windforce OC - 2,299

Total: Rm5,952 (prices from Lazada)

The Gigabyte Gaming OC should only costs about RM1.8-1.9K... RM2K is too expensive for a 5700 XT IMHO (unless it's the Red Devil variant)

Hello, he wants monitor.

no la, haha the 2.2k is for RTX 2070 Super ma.

haha

okok

2060 super n monitor

done editted... still with 2070s n fsp psu... btw 650w bronze enuf for 2070s right?

That PSU... I'll probably go for a 650W unit from Super Flower over this one

You can get a cheaper 5700 XT here:

Haha.. tat y i ask can 650w bronze handle 2070super... never build 1 for anything below 750..but all is ryzen 7 n above

Easy (efficiency does not always dictate quality - there are 80+ Platinum units that has mediocre performance). Even a high quality 550W unit can do this easily (I myself run a 5700 XT with a Seasonic 550W unit, and it worked perfectly)

I know tat.. my question is can a 650w bronze handle it...example p650b or deepcool 650w bronze

As long as the quality's good, why not? Like what I've said, efficiency does not always make a PSU good

Fyi, in Y2020, i never recommended Ryzen for gaming ever since Intel launched 10th gen, youtubes has lots of evidence why Intel out performed it competitor. Unless you're in tight budget, you'll never regret to go Intel 10th gen. Not able to find i5-10600K that fit your budget.

Why picked 970 EVO Plus, bcoz best processor should paired with best SSD. Want cheaper, go Adata SX8200pro at least.

The above price are from LZD & Shpe, if you spend more time scouting you might get even better deal. Find cheaper SSD, PSU and Casing might able to accommodate into your budget.

You might want to wait for Nvidia 3000 series, coming soon with +30% performance!

BTW, should go 1440p monitor since its equipped 2070Super (2060 for 1080p)

TS asked for a 5-6K machine and yet you recommended a near 7K machine

The SSD is overpriced, and the PSU is more than enough even for a HEDT build and yet you didn't even include a monitor

No point paying so much for a platform that doesn't even support PCIe 4.0 either

The 10700K is not worth it either, especially when compared to the 3700X/3900X (also AM4 has the ability to move to Zen 3 chips, which closes the gaming gap even further)


There's the issue of high power consumption and cooling requirements too (your build doesn't include an aftermarket heatsink, which is required if you are going for a build like this)

Only the 10600K is the recommended pick in the Comet Lake lineup, but that's even a hard pick when you consider the cons of going Intel (no PCIe 4.0, expensive boards, little upgrade path, hot and consumes lots of power, worse multithreaded performance which will be useful in future games)

no worries, just give him view from another side....

i also mentioned 10600K is sufficent but not able to locate it, sold out so fast....

iinm, i7-10700K doesn't come with a stock cooler. You'll definitely need to buy an after market cooler.

You can lazada or shopee and check the box size, for sure it can't fit a stock cooler in that slim box.

The other side has poor price/performance as well. 10% more performance.

That doesn't even count the cost of motherboard and high end cooler.

10600k at 5.2 ghz 4400hz ram best cpu of the decade kill all of AMD high end cpu for less money and 30 percent faster in most games .If u want to buy AMD wait for 5000 series this November 5ghz OC and IPC incease by 12 percent it will be faster then Intel but currenly Intel is faster and new graphic card arrive in September around 50 percent faster for the same price wait dont buy now .

10600K is actually an ok CPU considering it has 6C12T same as the Ryzen 5 3600. Rendering wise, it's on par. Gaming wise, the fps is higher since clock speed also higher compared to 3600.

But have to remember that for the extra fps you gain, you pay extra as well. 10600K @ 999 compared to R5 3600 @ 799. If you want to OC the 10600K, better get a good VRM Z490 mobo. Also, you'll need to buy an after market cooler too. All these are additional cost that needs to be considered too.

10600K definitely not RM999. At least RM1100.

Ah my bad, saw 10600 in viewnet prices thought it was 10600K

...at this price and factoring the price of a decent Z490 board you might just as well go for a 3600 + decent B550, and you get PCIe 4.0 and Zen 3 CPU compatibility

R u sure rtx 2060 is that price? Does not seem right. Where u get this pricing? Too expensive

Kingston a2000 500GB rm349? I just bought for RM285

yeap, investment wise... hmm it's not fair to spend approx 1k extra for that 10-ish fps.
Better to save that money and grab a better GPU instead.

Also 250GB is just not sufficient for games these days (you have games like CoD:Warzone which takes up the entire SSD capacity)

The pricing of that B450 board is pretty unacceptable when you consider that the ASRock B550M Steel Legend/ASUS TUF B550M-Plus can be had for slightly more (with significantly better VRMs that will happily handle a 3900X/3950X at stock, along with PCIe Gen4)

Any PC case that does not have front panel mesh should be avoided IMHO unless you want an oven case
