Posted November 29, 2020 Budget (including currency): 800$ Country: Korea Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Games and rendering 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 will soon buy these parts and dual channel memory has been bothering me. Is there a specific part that I may spend less on to afford 2x8gb memory? Or should I just wait for upgrade to buy another 1? cpu ~ AMD Ryzen 3 3100 - 115$ motherboard ~ MSI B450M Mortar Max - 110$ graphic card ~ MSI gtx 1650 Super Gaming X - 214$ ram ~ G.Skill Ripjaws V 8gb 3200mhz ddr4 - 42$ storage ~ Kingston A2000 250gb M.2 nvme - 42$ & Western Digital Blue/Seagate Barracuda 1TB - 43$ psu ~ Seasonic Core GC500 500W 80+ gold - 72$ case ~ MSI MAG Forge 100R - 72$ monitor ~ Samsung R350 75hz - 80$ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering this is based around a 3100, you can probably go even cheaper and get a b450m ds3h v2 or something of that sort Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah the Pro-VDHMax is a is a decent motherboard I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B Primary PC: i7 8086k - EVGA Z370 Classified K - G.Skill Trident Z RGB - WD SN750 - Jedi Order Titan Xp - Hyper 212 Black (with RGB Riing flair) - EVGA G3 650W - dual booting Windows 10 and Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me. Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference. How many watts do I need? ATX 3.0 & PCIe 5.0 spec, PSU misconceptions, protections explained, group reg is bad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted November 29, 2020 Id go with a i3 10100 here and a b460 board. A little bit faster than the 3100, and normally cheaper, esp for the f version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The mortar has a second x16 slot and second m.2 slot, and probably something like an additional USB header or fan header.

Posted November 30, 2020 The SSD might as well be a SATA 3. Should be cheaper a bit, something like Crucial MX500 Or it might not. Case seems a bit pricey also ....

Is sata 3 more faster/reliable than nvme? MX500 is 10$ more, I can add 10$ more to the total. I searched decent cases available and I can only see Phanteks Eclipse and Corsair Obsidian in 200$ price. Would you recommend mid tower cases that front is mesh. A question, does solid front cases intake is not okay? I mostly considered cases with front mesh because I think the airflow is not good and MSI mag forge 100r fits it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The durability might be about same, though QLC is less durable than TLC tech. So not much point going SATA. 6 minutes ago, ssynz04 said: I searched decent cases available and I can only see Phanteks Eclipse and Corsair Obsidian in 200$ price. There aren't cheaper cases in Korea? Seems doubtful, but ok, if you're sure. I edit my posts more often than not Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are cheaper cases, there is darkflash brand matx dlm 21 case front mesh price of 40$ or more. 3Rsys brand which is popular for budget pc case, they sell cases for 14$ or more. The darkflash one I am interested, is it decent for you? I am not good judge for good cases or for cable managing in cases. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
