    for game? not much different.
    people usually build faster storage because they have to transferred heavy files such as editing etc. wont do much in load games unless your type of person who loves moving around the game files. how's P1 price? much popular. 
    or you can save money by going SSD for Boot and HDD for game files.

    honsetly is kinda overkill for 1080P. but  since ur building games i think its okay.  inever heard of LEXAR SSD. usually for this price people combine SSD and HDD. such as samsung evo with WD Blue.  hard to tell about deepcool. there is lot of great alternative like Seasonic Focus Gold / Corsait TXM / beQuiet Dark / Cooler master plat.

    but for PSU and MOBO can be better. Ds3h isnt bad but most of people go better since ur using ryzen 5. B550 works fine with ryzen 5. lot of choices for MOBO but since im not good at mobo i leave it for other people
     
    PSU i can suggest Corsail CX.CXM or beQuite U12 or Seasonic Focus. lot of it right here PSU TIER LIST

    Wouldnt be my first recommendation, hence why i think its ludicrous to daily it. Honestly besides Pi 400 or an SBC running Kodi/LibreELEC on a TV, i see SBC dailies as challenge rather than fascination for heavy users like me. But yeah, i see the appeal for some.
    I was rather giving example to make sure OP buys the right thing for the right price. If OP doesnt need upgradability and there's something better value at lower price, id go for that.

    Ryzen 5400G or even 3200G  MSI B450 Tomahawk 16GB Team Vulcan CX/CXM or bequiet can be sufficeint but i'll go with 450W (400W okay) current choices of HDD and SSD its okay  
    but like @GOATWDsaid can get better p3 depending on location.
    and as @SorryClairethe Lattepanda also sufficient. the best theyhave is 279USD with 8gigs of ram. and very smoll pc.

    Akira Shimazu reacted to Lynk in Building a Gaming PC on a Budget: Components and GPU Choices   
    based on the informations you've provided guys, the best possible scenario for me would be:
    Add another 16GB RAM stick to my system to enable dual-channel mode and increase RAM to 32GB.
    Upgrade power supply to the Cooler Master MWE Watt 750 Full Modular V2 80+ Gold..
    Install a graphics card RTX 2060 Super Twin X2 OC..

    buy the B550 basically same with 450 but better.
    750W is over. 550W is enough even with high end Gpu. you can have somesort of Seasonic or corsair CXM perhaps many choices

    Obligatory:
    If you are a student, get a Lenovo X,T, or even E series laptop through Lenovo campus program, the prices are insane for the laptop you will get.
    The X series should fit your bill.

    Akira Shimazu reacted to YoungBlade in Is my GPU dying?   
    Silicon does degrade over time. What he's shown on multiple occasions is that, generally, it either works or it doesn't. A GPU doesn't get slower and weaker over time. It will have the same performance it always did for its whole life. Then one day it will start artifacting, or crashing, or get stuck in a low power state, or just straight up die.
     
    Although typically, on graphics cards, something else like a fan or memory chip or part of the power delivery will fail first, as a fan is mechanical, and there are just more FETs and memory modules - so more potential things to fail, but the GPU silicon will eventually deteriorate.

    Just get Windows off a grey market seller. I recommend Gamers Outlet, but most will work, even eBay. Usually around 3-4 euro.
    If you want RGB with the case, it's cheaper just to buy some strips and fans on Amazon/eBay or something.

    Akira Shimazu got a reaction from DonPablo in Building a new PC. Need help figuring out what parts to get, besides GPU   
    Continuing from @RONOTHAN## Corsair kinda expensive i meant every ram is kinda identitical on performance. Adata also offer decent ram. i personally have double storage one for file and one for booting depending on how the pc mostly use. but as far as i know there would not be huge differece in render when booting game with SSD or HDD. i like double SSD but i have less game than you.

    Would be hesitant to go 5800x since the 12600k exists for cheaper and performs a little better, and unless you get it for dirt cheap the 10700k doesn't make any sense in today's market. The i5 12400 outperforms it in single core and is only a hair behind in multi core performance. 
     
    Personally, I'd recommend either going with a 12600k or if you aren't gonna do anything besides game and don't care about overclocking, step down to a 12400(f). 
    For the 12600k: MSI Z690-A Pro DDR4, get it with or without WiFi depending on if you need WiFi/Bluetooth or an extra $20 in your pocket. 
    For the 12400(f): There are a couple options, depending on exactly what you need. The 4 big ones off the top of my head are ASUS B660(M)-Plus D4, ASUS H670-Plus D4, MSI B660M-A Pro DDR4, and the ASRock H670 PG Riptide. The PG Riptide is usually the best deal among each of those, but prices change so frequently in this industry that one of the other boards would be better depending on your needs and when you buy it. 
     
    If you go for the 12400, don't get this. That chip does not get anywhere near hot enough for an AIO to make any sense, so you'd be spending $200 purely for looks when the stock cooler will keep the CPU cool. 
     
    If you go 12600k, still don't get this. The Arctic Freezer II lineup is half the price and performs better. The 12600k still doesn't really need an AIO, a good dual tower air cooler like the Scythe Fuma 2 will be plenty, but it at least makes a little bit of sense. It's not that the H150i is necessarily bad, it's just not as good as other AIOs (not by a ton but measurable) but costs twice as much. Only get it for aesthetics and you don't mind spending a ton of money on it. 
     
    Corsair memory is a bit of a weird one. It is either a really good deal and you end up with Samsung B Die, or it's really overpriced any other memory chip. You're better off going with another kit of a better speed bin for less money. Even with RGB you can get other kits for less or the same price but faster (usually). 
     
    I'd change that to 1TB boot SSD and 4TB HDD for games. The difference between a good 500GB SSD and a 1TB SSD is about $30-40, and the difference in price between a 2TB drive and a 4TB drive is $20, so for about $60 you can get double the storage, and usually the higher capacity drives (within the same memory type, SLC, TLC, QLC, etc.) will perform better. It's not that there's anything wrong with the 500GB and 2TB method, it's just that doubling your storage for ~40% more money (in the storage category itself, it's probably like 5% extra on the entire build) is a pretty good idea. Besides, games are getting much larger, so the extra space will likely come in handy unless you want to be constantly uninstalling and reinstalling games. 
     
    Even overclocked a 6800 machine should do just fine on a 750w PSU. That said, the difference in price between a good 750w and a good 850w is pretty minimal, so you might as well. 
     
    Go for the airflow version of that case, the 5000D, while it may look pretty, has glass covering every one of its holes for airflow, so temps inside are pretty warm. The airflow version looks very similar, costs a lot less (though it loses RGB) and is the same interior stucture. If you want the RGB you can always buy it separately and add it in.
