hi guys. i bought a customize desktop gaming pc. spec as below

AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D
MSI PRO X870-P WIFI
MSI GeForce RTX 5070 Ti 16G VENTUS 3X OC
T-Create Exp 2x16GB DDR5 6000Mhx CL30
Kioxia G4 Plus 2TB Gen5 SSD
Noctua NH-U12A Chromax Black
Antec C3 Black
Win 11 Ori OEM

for a price of RM10k+-.

is this a decent built? i know ram price sky high next 2026. if buy one by one also price almost same at lowyat if own build

you prefer own build or let the customize shop do for you?

u can save abit more by not buying the Win 11 copy

u can get a key for very very cheap or for free even

ya want to get cheap one. but i will felt guilty later

You bought it, paid for it, and received it, am rite? Then its decent for you coz you chosen it. Dont have buyers remorse coz everyone can have their own opinion.

u feel guilty for a 3.5 trillion dollar company? lol

haha self-guilt

1440p or 4K monitor?

previously i stuck during athlon xp era. go to lowyat, buy one by one parts. assemble by myself. now technology changing so fast. luckily have many shops that do desktop customization

Bro, been there done that. Do not 2nd guess Ur choice. U will going spiral tripping.

haha. i tripping on my choice previously. either Ryzen 7 7800X3D or Ryzen 7 9800X3D. also the board selection between B850 and X870. not only that, the DDR5 also got EXPO / XMP function. lol. previously i only use DDR2 for my custom desktop. one ram for all. now ram also has specified Intel or AMD build. haha time fly so fast

bought most of the part online(lazada shopee), saved 1k +

dang, they really dropped. last i check they were above Apple

i want to do that. but so scared if want to claim for the warranty

Noctua NH-U12A... Another waterfish caught. Thermalright Royal Pretor 130 does it for less than half the price and performs better.

i can do it way cheaper

can share? i tried to get the pricelist from lowyat online, compare but still expensive

seriously? i thought noctua is a good & premium build brand?

Not with current price. Only good hardware without the performance to back it up.

About NH-D15S performance which is less performance than NH-D15 G1.

Thermalright Royal Pretor 130 review (around RM190-200) :

Also, Phison E31T controller from that SSD is DRAMless crap too.

Seconded on Thermalright, I got Peerless Assassin last year when my AIO decided to die and was pleasantly surprised that it's good cooling even on sustained workload.

Your right, its a good competent cooler and it is still premium brand. Just that in terms of performance other cheaper brands has caught up, NH-U12A is single tower so it will lose cooling vs dual towers like PA120 but its lighter (less sag) and has much better tall RAM compatibility so as long as it can keep that 9800x3d within temps (and it does!) you dont have to sweat paying more for it as theres pros & cons.
