Hi Sifus, planning to buy a cheapo desktop to continue use Window 11 as old laptop cannot upgrade.
the specs and price below, acceptable?


Processor: AMD Ryzen 5 5600
GPU: NVIDIA Geforce RTX 3050 6GB (MSI / GIGABYTE)
Cooler: Stock Cooler
Motherboard: GIGABYTE A520M K V2
RAM: GSKILL Aegis 32GB DDR4
SSD: T-FORCE G50 NVMe Gen4 1TB
Power Supply: Integrated PSU
Casing: Slevcase Spotless
GIGABYTE B550M DS3H AC DDR4


*FINAL TOTAL PRICE: RM2506.00*

why ambil price almost same like you register in lowyat?

Cheap

At RM2.5k, u can get Mac Mini and far better performance.

come I gip u muh 3060 instead as I already upgraded

i dont think u can get that price nowadays

normal lo , u not playing heavily / mihoyo / kuro game ? that explain your RTX spec cause now 4000 series or 5000 series

maybe say what u use for, just in case u suddenly say TRIPLE AAA game

if u are those secretary , tax agent , auditor, this is okay .

if those old boomer / boomer / just for leisure stuff, also okay.

Damn

It's been awhile since I saw people care about PC spec.

2 motherboards?

you planning to build this on your own or have shop build it for you once you get all the parts?

think another one is the upgraded one so should supersede another lower specs

i need window, to use window 11



from idealtech website. i just tune the spec from their lowest price desktop haha

i tune this from idealtech website and copypasta the specs from there

if the price acceptable i will buy from them.

if you know how to buy from TaoBao and knows how to build PC from parts - you can get way cheaper.

Also - my PC spec is almost similar to what you are planning to buy, I "had to" rebuild a new PC from my old Intel i7-6700 system to keep up with windows 11.

My PC spec now -

AMD Ryzen 5600 + stock fan
Gigabyte Aorus B550m
64GB DDR4 Corsairs (16gbx4) - reused from old system
Gigabyte RTX4070
1TB NVME Patriot - reused
2TB HDD Seagate - reused
CoolerMaster v850 Gold - reused

old casing - cooler master

get 5700x instead. Its old gen, better make it little beefier so it can have little extra lifetime.

Cpu i5 12400f- rm380
Mobo- msi pro h610m- rm250
Ram-adata spectrix d35g (2x8gb) rgb ddr4-rm166
Gpu- asus 4060ti 8gb dual evo-rm1297
Storage-kingston nv3 500gb nvme ssd-rm143
Psu-msi mag a650bnl-rm150
Case-tecware timber m-rm148

Total rm2534

The parts are all brand new and can be found at shopee. Prices may be cheaper if you purchase the parts during sale or opt for used components.

my current rig from idealtech, quite satisfied with it.

that's just the listed part price, right?
checkout price will be higher when include shipping cost.
RM5 here, RM5 there, it adds up pretty quickly, unless manage to get all from same shop.

looks good with the price, specs also seems better.


so just refer youtube or reddit for assembly? new to this lol

Yup listed price. I think only the case whereby the shipping fee will cost a bit more since it's class as bulky. The rest of the parts i think the free shipping vouchers is still applicable especially if you buy the parts during sale (7/7,8/8,9/9 etc2).

Ofc some shops do offer bundle for the cpu and mobo. You'll probably get a better deal from that too.

Windows 11 on a Mac? just run Parallels…. Problem solved…
