First PC Build for 950$

Milanizer
 Share
Posted

Budget (including currency): Around Rp 14mil or $950.

Country: I'm from Indonesia

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Gaming (RDR2, Death Stranding, Withcer, MHW, GTA), document related works, and amateur video editing for family and friends.

Other details (existing parts lists, whether any peripherals are needed, what you're upgrading from, when you're going to buy, what resolution and refresh rate you want to play at, etc): I have a decent tv (1080p, 60hz) but would like to upgrade to 1440p some time next year. I also have decent mouse and keyboard.

 

Basically this is my first pc build. Been using a laptop for nearly 12 years and when the new Asus ROG launch with ridiculous pricing, i started looking to pc.

 

i've been saving since early Covid days and although this time of the year is not the best time for building new pc, i can't seem to wait until December when all new hardwares have launched.

 

So yeah, can you guys help me? So far this is my list, pricing is a bit rough here. My go to marketplace is https://www.tokopedia.com/ or https://shopee.co.id/

Is B450 still recommended though? I plan to upgrade some time next year with renoir CPUs. I see people recommending AMD gpu so i guess the drivers problems are fixed?

but why , why spend double the price of a gen 3 ssd for a gen 4 , there isnt a need for gen 4 ssd for a casual user RN .....

 and getting a b550 board is better considering that they dont even cost much more than a b450

That is my initial plan but pricing here is a bit rough, and my budget is pretty tight. My original plan was 500gb SSD without HDD but later change it to 256gb and 1tb HDD.

You can get 1TB NVMe SSDs for that price. 4.0 doesn’t make a difference in normal use.

Not an indication of quality, and IIRC a Focus Gold is much better than a B5.
