KosmicRavioli got a reaction from Kirky2k15 in Which One Would You Get On A Limited Budget?
Yeap, exactly what I'm thinking. It's used but it's only about 5-6 months old.
The fact that it comes with a X570 Aorus Elite and a beefy cooler gives me confidence that I can upgrade to a higher class CPU down the line, without having to worry about upgrading those parts as well. So potentially cheaper to upgrade in the future.
And while I do like the idea of an RX 5700, ASUS's original TUF RX 5700 model (unlike the revised EVO model) comes with no VRM cooling and relies on the middle fan blowing air directly onto it, which makes it run hot under load (around 84 according to one of the reviews I read) as well as loud, because the fans need to run faster than they would otherwise need to.
Also, I'm assuming the testing was done at around 25 Celsius ambient temperature. Summers get real hot here and the PC will be in a non-conditioned room. So I'm pretty sure it will near or go straight past the 95 degree safety limit.
On top of that, this is strictly for 1080p gaming, and a 3-to-7 fps increase that comes with the 5700 doesn't seem that enticing given the issues it comes with.

I’d personally go for the used option and then use $50 of the $100 you saved to upgrade the PSU to something decent like a CX.

Go for the "used" one I say "used" because its all current gen stuff.
Its $100 cheaper, sure your not getting as good a GPU but the $100 can go towards a big NAVI card when they come out around November. so plenty of time to save up and sell the 5600xt

go for the pre built youve listed if this isnt feasible

the first upgrade you should probably make down the line, is your PSU. there is a chance theyve put in a lower end corsair VS or CV series PSU, theyre generally bottom of the spectrum.
ryzen 3 3300x and ryzen 5 3600 perform almost the same in gaming related tasks, id selected it coz it is relatively cheaper so you could fit in a better GPU in there

heres a better list in UK pricing, i dont know much about displays so ive put in a random 125 pound monitor, feel free to make changes, sorry its a tad over budget

I'll go one-by-one.
- Yes, it's a necessity. Also, it's like a $5 part, it has no relevance to the cost.
- Tower cooler implies that it's air cooling. There are no tower coolers for liquid cooling.
- Look, I appreciate you replying, but it would help a lot if you actually read my post first.
