upgrade from 7 y/o asus g75v laptop to 3rd gen ryzen desktop need help squeezing price to performance for work-play

[Fman105]

im in bc canada.

absolute max budget is 3000 would like to squeeze it down to 2500 looking to buy late aug 2019.

the goal is video editing and uploading while interpreting 4 security feeds(separate monitor)while being able to play AAA titles in my off time at high or ultra with as many damn frames as i can get .later oc considerations must be made.

the reason for the upgrade is my asus g75v is very out of date and will not work in the roles needed there are no usable old parts other than my power bar still works awesome .

i found this at pc part picker kinda just looking for tweaks or mistakes that i made and yes im going to change the reference 5700 for somthing with better fans.also might go 3600x for price point

Any particular thought process for the motherboard? If it has some specific features you'd like? It's pretty damn expensive for what it offers

 

And you went with a very cheap case, you could probably balance it out

And you went with a very cheap case, you could probably balance it out

pcie gen 4 x16 slots x3 - super nice

4x memory slots - need for later

led debug indicator (harder to find than i would like for cheaper)

m.2 for boot drive( yes i know its not on the list but this is something i can buy out of pocket later yes i know it would be better to do first but budget)

i also but only as a very minor consideration like the look

 

 

as to the case

not horrible airflow

front io

side panel

CHEAP but (hopefully)not super crapy please warn if it is

also somthing to upgrade later out of pocket to me (rebuilding is fun{yes im one of those})

 

mostly i just need headroom for security cams x4 also initial purchases are company expenses .upgrades are out of pocket hence some of the logic .things i can upgrade out of pocket will be things i can actually afford the upgrade for

m.2 boot ,more ram,better case,3900x(this ones going to suck)hope this helps also any recommendations for eather

I'll recommend something like this instead...

This might seem cheaper right now, but you'll regret later for mis matched monitors considering that you are spending so much on your PC.

The build I have put together should be slightly better.

@

I dont need 144Hz for security cameras.and that is all that monitor will do and i couldn't find a 60 Hz black and white.

that board has no led indicator (yes that's a must) and it only has 2 pcie slots and i super don't need WiFi hard-line or bust

also io im going to need lots of it

the ram is more expensive and ram is ram 3 makers in the world everybody just reskins the stuff

the case didn't that exact case literally fall apart in GNs review

graphics card i really don't need the xt yet =gotta save somewhere

buying m.2 boot later because budget

cpu cooling i don't like water in computers so eventually will be probably going with a dark rock pro or something

psu always go with reputable brands that you recognize and i have seen with my own eyes corsair psu's full of mud brought back to life so ya i trust them a little more

mouse naga series is my personal fav it fits my hand very nice(i have large af hands) and once you go 17 button you never go back (yes i use them all)

keyboard no macro .     think Taran but not so many extras needed yet so i can settle for 6 on the side

this is my logic

also no unicorn vomit please red and black for the win

also this computer is firstly a business thing secondly a business thing and thirdly a gaming thing not a look pretty thing

i do appreciate both of you taking the time

• Upgraded you to a 3600mhz cl17 kit.
• Go ahead overspending on that board. The tuf board is a way better buy considering its overclocking potential.
• Why buying m.2 later. You have literally picked the worst ssd in the market. You can get a way better nvme drive for a little bit more cost.
• Dark rock pro 4 would be a great option.
• Replace the secondary display with this...

y that ssd cuz its just a boot drive dont need more till later

debug indicator and extensive io might not matter to some but they are worth a bit more to me(nothing elsewhere has 8+ usb 3.2 )also ram is also something to play with later 3200 cl 16 is fine

cooler is later as explained

no on the monitor no displayport also not cheaper

the point is to squeeze it down a bit in price swaping stuff out to make a 10 dollar more thing realy isent all that helpfull just sayin
