Should I wait or should I do it now

[SavageDuck21]

I was planning on buying parts and building a computer, I have about 750$ (converted from bgn using google). I think those are the parts I am going to stick with: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/kCFQLP. I already have the storage bought as I am using it in my current pc. Should I go with these parts now, or wait a bit so the prices go down/new releases. Thanks in advance

But how much you wanna pay for the cpu, gpu and mobo?

[dizmo]

Doesn't look like a very good system tbh, an i3 is rarely a good buy. We won't see any new releases for many months.

I'd put the build up in the New Builds and Planning section and see if someone can piece together something better, but don't bother including storage if you already have it (no need to list it, just say you already have it) and list your country as USD doesn't apply to you.

Get a Ryzen 3 3100 or Ryzen 5 1600 (AF) this means that is gonna be on the same architecture as second gen Ryzen. But don't pay more than $125 if you can.

Considering AMD prices goes banana, that particular i3 is actually a good buy. 4 cores 8 threads for $100.

Ryzen 3100 is nowhere to be found.

 

To OP, you probably wanna wait another 3 months, Intel gonna push new generation (11th gen).

I made a post on the New build/plannig section as per @dizmo including more information this doesnt really work out for me since the r5 3600 is too overpriced or out of stock in major stores and i havent seen the 1660ti in a while

If you really want ryzen go to aliexpress they have stocks with normal price and free shipping.

that doesn't sound very appealing, since the card is overkill just for the whole system, also I dont think the games I play are heavy enough to even challenge the 3060ti in 1080p

i'd rather buy from my own country since deliveries from outside take ages since covid

[boggy77]

i think your plan is good. unless you're selling your old system as a whole, you can keep the old ram too.

[SupaKomputa]

Well, if you prepare to wait, i think this is a good excuse to wait.

Ryzen 3600 is still the best budget CPU, hands down, plus you can upgrade to 5000 in the future with B550 motherboard.

Yeah shipment from china can be long, at worst usually not more than 1-2 months.

Have you considered just grabbing the 1660? I don't really see a point in upgrading the whole system when the rest of the upgrade will probably not really give you that much more performance in most games.

The idea behind the 3060Ti was the option to upgrade the rest of the system later, either to ryzen or next gen intel when they launch.

[SupaKomputa]

The price is as low as $170, you can add premium shipping for $20 (7-14 days).
