Hello pc sifus, I'm looking for a mid-range gaming rig and it's been years since I've kept up with pc technology so I'm kinda lost. Below are two racuntech pre-built rigs, and they fit my budget of between RM3-4k.

Racuntech RTX 3060


Racuntech RTX 4060


So browsing around the web, I've noticed mixed opinions about these two graphics card, some say RTX 4060 is better due to lower power consumption and slightly better performance, but it comes at the expense of just 8GB VRAM, which many others say is just inadequate for the near future. Wherelse the RTX 3060 has 12GB VRAM, but more power consumption and less performance. What are your thoughts sifus? Which rig would you prefer?

Also, I've heard AIO coolers may breakdown and leak causing a mess, should I get a fan cooler instead? Thanks bros.

EDIT: Please feel free to recommend any other rigs you like, maybe AMD rigs?

Even RTX 3060 did not specify the VRAM size. 8GB cards are crap for today. Specs without details is shady. Not to mention. LOL 10400F for 2024!

Try

Core i5-12400F - 595
Thermalright Peerless Assassin 120 SE - 139
MSI B660M-E - 449
Kingston 8GB DDR4-3200 X2 - 198
Sapphire RX 6700 XT 12GB Pulse - 1639
Kingston KC3000 1TB - 298
Adata Core Reactor 650W - 428
Montech Air 903 max case - 329

RM4075 total

Destroys both of the advertised rigs.

Wow thanks sifu, looks like a good combo of parts. Should I attempt to buy these individual parts and assemble myself or look for shops to custom build these? I’m a little concerned about part failures, was thinking getting everything from a one-stop physical shop for warranty purposes would be better?

Yeah, those are individual parts from Shopee. You can assemble yourself.

Warranty wise, its all about luck...

Supreme1394If you need USB-C header, you need to spend more on the motherboard like MSI B660M-A Pro DDR4 or B760M-A Pro DDR4.

Protip 1, shop specced prebuilds are usually pisspoor for value and often hides a lot of bad parts by not specifying exactly (RTX3060 but without putting VRAM size so its likely the far inferior & cheaper 8GB version). Unbranded PSU so its likely those comes-with-the-case or Ftier office PC ones.

Protip 2, using Tristan list, go into Shopee/Lazada/etc try to basket as many parts as possible from a single shop ie Dotatech, Etex, etc. Once you have a basket, try asking them if they can build and test it for you (they may or may not, & they might charge or not).

Thanks for the inputs. After much consideration, I think I will have to go for a pre-built rig. Firstly, I have no experience building pcs and the thought of installations going wrong scares me. Secondly I prefer a shop to deal with any warranty or pc breakdown issues. I’ve tried looking around a few pc building sites, they don’t carry a wide variety of components so couldn’t even build TristanX’s list, but I came across this aftershock bundle below:



Looks pretty good and within budget, what do you guys think?

DRAMless SSD trash. RAM timings not specified. Expect high latency ones. Low quality power supply and unknown PC case.

Try looking for myway1985 . He probably could build it for you. Expect higher price for certain parts when you buy everything from same store.

RM4100 include assemble n window set up

FSP HV Pro doesnt have any above 650W so how they can get it to 800W is a mystery. If PSU they can get it wrong what else might be error.

Get the quote from Myway knock him down rm100 to fit ur budget cap.

Hi sir, thanks for dropping by. Regarding warranty how does it work, do you have rma service?

Nowadays rma all HV to send back to reseller to claim.. unless reseller authorise the end user to claim..

Sorry I'm not familiar with what is a reseller. Say If I buy a pc from aftershock and the gpu died, I just need to go back to them for any warranty claims? What if I make the purchase from you? Does your company penguinit make the warranty claim? Or 1-to-1 exchange within 90 days like some other shops? Sorry total noob lol.

send back to reseller... 90 days 1 to 1 not many shop offer wat.. n if u understand bout the con of packaged pc.. then u know y they offer tat.. if not something i can put it here as a seller
