First build. Need tutorials.

[Cholax]

I am about to build my first desktop pc. I didnt order most things yet, but i am starting to order the components or buy them at local stores.

 

What are some good videos on how to build a pc? I am a first-timer.

What i have found so far and i am currently watching.

 

How to build a PC by Bitwit

 

Avoiding Common PC Building Traps by some random guy.

 

For anyone interested the build is:

 

CPU: AMD Ryzen 2600 (i am not spending one dollar more in the build for now)

How much is that GPU? i'm seeing it for 400$+ which is terribly priced for an RTX 2060, aim for the 350$ one instead and upgrade the motherboard, otherwise everything else looks great
 

Although i have to mention that Ryzen 3000 is gonna be announced next monday

But how's he going to know how much thermal paste to put on? The amount on the stock cooler is never enough~

It is 445us but it is cheaper than every other option where i live. I am not from US, everything here has importations fees + shipping. This is the cheapest option i found in the market. Every other option was at least 100us more expensive.

 

Why would i upgrade the motherboard? Isnt the B450M enough?

I will buy the CPU after i get everything else. So i estimate at least 2 weeks more. But i doubt the Ryzen 3000 will be cheaper or will get to my country anytime soon.

Oh in that case it's fine, I thought you're overpaying for it

It's not about the Chipset, just that particular motherboard is very mediocre at best, you can definitely get something much better for the money, but it should be fine for the Ryzen 5 2600 though, performance will be exactly the same, but it might struggle with overclocking or when it's time to upgrade to a more power hungry CPU, look for the Asrock B450M Pro4, if it has a similar price to that Gigabyte board, then get it instead, otherwise just keep your current configuration as it is

Maybe you won't get Ryzen 3000 in time, but there might be price drops for Ryzen 2000

Ok i'll see if it is available.

I really doubt price drops will happen in my country soon. Ofc they will probably happen in the US.

I honestly prefer the build guides at Paul's Hardware.

He's thorough and easy to listen to.

Jayz is also great!

I saw the Pro4-F available but not the Pro4. What are the differences?

I couldnt find reviews on the Pro4-F.

The Pro 4-F has:

• Different PCB pattern
• Different USB Port Layout
• White colored heatsinks

Effectively they are the same board

Looks like a decent built, what games are you trying to run?

I've never heard of iPower before, but if your confident in the brand, I don't think it'll be a problem.

You may want to consider the 1660ti if it's significantly cheaper than the 2060 in your country.

The company that builds those gpus is Colorful. It is Asian.

I already bought the gpu so what's done is done.The price difference was less than 50us.

It is safe to say the Pro4-F VRM quality (and overall quality) is the same as the Pro4?
