Need some insights and opinion on my choices.

Down below is the same build from 2 different websites I put together.

My main things I wanted was the 1660 super.

So I went first got it then went on gathering other parts which fit the purpose or were the best bang for the buck components.

Also I will get more storage afterwards. 

I also have a pic of possible peripherals since this is gonna be my first pc and and I wanted to build a nice setup with it.

I will try to get the parts from wherever I get them the cheapest either Amazon,MD computers or Offline.

At first I thought of going with the 1650 super but after watching benchmarks I wasn't quite satisfied so thought of going with it's big brother the 1660 super although it did hurt my budget of 50k INR still I think I can get away with it.

Also I will not be buying all the peripherals at once(budget problems obvio). Although I will still be buying the monitor which I have watched a lot of reviews of and I think would definitely satisfy me.

 

I would mainly use this rig for Gaming and Coding/Game developing (since I aspire of becoming one a day) and a little bit of 3d rendering or editing here and there.

 

 

I want to know what other people think of this!

If you're willing to tune things yourself, the standard 1660 is better (unless prices is not cheaper than the Super). All you need to do to make the two really close is a memory OC on the GDDR5 card.

 

it's cheaper to buy memory separately instead of a kit with 2 sticks?

 

I've seen some builds in India (or just less developed countries in general) use UPS to combat unstable power from the socket, not sure if you need that

 

SSD wise, neither are great but the SU630 is the worse of the two. If you want it to last, I'd spend more for say, the MX500, SU800, Gold S31, UV500, 545s, KC600 etc.

I went with the super cause if i were to go by the reviews many suggested as it being the lower version of 1660 to and not the higher version of 1660.

Also there was more difference in performance between 1660 -1660 super than 1660s-1660ti.

Also the difference between the 1660 and the super was only of like 2k INR or roughly 30$ so I thought that GDDR6 with quite a boost in performance in just 30$ is actually good.

 

 

On the sites I checked, 16gb kits of the same ram were a bit more than buying two separate.

 

As far as I know,in my neighborhood there are no issues of power though we have what you call fuse switches so maybe they help!?

 

Any suggestions any other memory I can get then (please provide amazon India links).

Because I think of upgrading it later but with another ssd only.

 

Also are the peripherals good?

I really researched quite a bit on the monitor and keyboard.

But still have doubts with my choices.

Also Thank you for responding.

because no one bothered to talk based on overclocked results. Sure it's never guaranteed, but memory OC for example easily goes up by 10% which is what it takes to remove the VRAM bottleneck on the 1660

fuse is more about protecting others, so a short in your circuit don't blow up the others.

all that matters for memory other than capacity are frequency and timings, both are decent on the Corsair kit

I dont recognize any of the peripherals so no comments, but what is the model name of that monitor? At least make sure it has DisplayPort support, otherwise trying to connect it to newer GPUs in the future can be a pain.

I was talking about the ssd in that statement.

I just want your opinion about them regarding their specs and price..like are they good at that price and if not can you suggest any else?

I can't, I just buy what seemed to be popular

One last doubt which is better of the two in the pic? M.2 or 2 5 inch since they are at the same price!

Performance is the same, M.2 one saves space, so why not?
