    Go with 32GB for future proofing. 16GB is fine for now but as games get more graphically intense it's a nice idea to get 32

    I'd go with either the Trident or Vengeance. And nice color aesthetic, a nice break from all the unicorn puke lol

    ^^^ Yeah, probably the Trident. I run non-RGB Predator RAM and it's gorgeous af, but for a tron-like (aka clean/neon) aesthetic the Trident Z stuff will be the best, then the Vengeance, then the Predator.

    Also, willingly went for a SATA ssd  instead of m.2 nvme cause again, m.2 nvme is much more expensive than SATA in the UAE.

    redscape reacted to AkiraDaarkst in Camera Upgrade   
    OK I want you to look at some camera models listed below, all of which should come within your budget bracket with a kit lens (usually an 18-55) included.
     
    Nikon D5300, D5500 or D5600
    Canon 750D, 760D?, 800D  (I put a question mark next to the 760D because I couldn't find a listing for it with an 18-55 kit, only an 18-135mm kit which brings the price up)
    Sony A6000
    Panasonic G7

    I don't know a lot about Asus B350 Plus, but at a glance - it doesn't have USB Type-C connector (Tomahawk does, and also supports high-power USB mode for fast charging), also the on-board audio is inferior to MSI Tomahawk. On the other hand - it has 2 extra USB ports on the back panel, and the m.2 is above the PCI-E slots. On Tomahawk, the m.2 sits below the PCI-E x16 slot, which means that you will have to remove the GPU to install the m.2 device. However, Tomahawk has steel reinforcement around the PCI-E x16 slot, while Prime has regular plastic.
