pc build Budget pc build

[Sahilsamel]

Hey guys, I'm from india, building my first pc. I will be using this pc for gaming and for casual use. I have chosen the parts of the build but still have about 5 months before i build the pc. Everything will be bought offline. The parts i have decided on:-

Cpu - ryzen 5 3500(works very similar to 3600)

Gpu - not yet decided(thinking abt a gtx 1660ti or rtx 2060 or gtx 1660 super) 

Mobo - msi tomahawk max

Ram - adata xpg 3000mhz (2*8) 16gb ram

Psu - corsair cx 550

Storage - 1tb + 500gb(from my old computer) both from seagate

Keyboard - red gear blaze

Mouse - not yet decided 

Headphones - not yet decided 

Monitor - LG 22MP68VQ 75hz(with free sync) 

All- in- all it costs me around 73000 rupees(1000ish dollars) 

Any suggestions for the undecided parts is well appreciated. Bare in mind, i still have time (till mid may) to build my pc.

I don't think they sell 3500 yet ? Otherwise get it if it's available.

1660Ti is not worth it anymore since 1660S is out.

Get a SSD ! (MX500 for example)

 

Everything else looks good

I am actually getting a ryzen 5 3500. Should i go for a rtx 2060 if i am getting it for 4000rupees more? (4000 rupees =55 dollars)

I checked and it doens't exist over here  

 

Anyway for 55$ it seems good enough maybe even a 2060S ? Do you use Cuda or Nvenc ? Otherwise you could consider the 5700 or 5700XT depending of your local prices. They are both better than the 2060S.

Make sure you get an SSD, makes a massive difference even if it's just for windows.

Those are kinda of out of budget

But, it has similar performance while gaming. And i won't be doing anything that needs ht

gaming is certainly a need that has started to require HT. this isnt 2015 anymore. 

 

newer titles allready show non-ht CPUs hitting a wall with a lack of threads. especially among the more CPU heavy ones. and thats in benchmarks where there are no backgroundloads that may decide to occupy some threadtime.

Instead of the 3500 i'd actually get a 2600x if you're on a budget. It's not far from the 3600 in terms of performance and features hypertreading

I was initially gonna buy a 3600 initially, but after the market release of the 3500 and seeing its similar performance in most titles as 3600, i thought a 3500 would be a better option. Plus I'm getting it at around 90$ cheaper.

id suggest either going for a 2600 then, or taking the extra towards the 3600. 

 

the r5 3500 is essentially a slightly better 9400f. which is also just a no-go due to lack of threads.

Which ome would be a better choice 

A gtx 1660ti or a 1660 super? 

Because they both have almost similar performance, but it seems like the super doesn't have a good overclock config.

What's the price difference ? If it's less than 10$ go for the Ti.

It's about 35$

Then for almost similar performance the Super is better

[Sahilsamel]

About the case, does it make any difference if the psu is top mounted or bottom mounted? 

[Sahilsamel]

Because I'm getting a really sick case with 4 rgb fans pre installed, but it has a top mounted psu config

Which case is it ? Top mounted PSU is not of concern but more like the airflow.

Hum I think it will be hot in there, look at the mb511 RGB, it has a mesh front panel, RGB fans (only 3 though in the front) and TG side panel.

Should i consider buying a cpu cooler? I might overclock it to the specified overclock value.

Yes you could like the Dark Rock 4 or cheaper eSport 34.
