computer will it work?

[Guest]

Budget (including currency): $1800 Aud ($1300 usd)

Country: Australia

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: photoshop, video editing, light 3d software use, and games like gta, minecraft, rainbow 6, beamng etc

 

parts list i am wondering weather this will fit in the case i have listed

i would also add dual channel ram in the future

Yeah, it would work, but not so well chosen parts.

* the cpu is not overclockable and kinda slow 

* you can spend ~ $100 on video card to get 10-20% performance increase and better for future (8-12 GB VRAM)

* the SSD is using QLC memory which is meh .. slow, low endurance 

 

Here's an AMD build that goes a bit over your budget, but only because it has dual channel 16 GB of memory and a more expensive video card: 

 

* 10500 scores around 13k cpu benchmark points,  ryzen 5600x scores around 22k .. so this AMD build should be more powerful 

* I left cpu with stock cooler, will be fine for the start... later when you'll have more money you can go to a Schyte Fuma 2 or a Noctua air cooler or go water cooler.. 

* ram is plain boring without leds but it's CL16 and 3600 Mhz, it's fast and good.

* motherboard is solid, can handle even 10+ core processors just fine, and also has wireless should you need it.

* the SSD uses TLC memory, has more endurance, maybe even faster speeds but that's less relevant for a boot drive.

* The video card is maybe 10-20% faster than 2060 for around 100$ more, and 12 GB VRAM is worth it. Might want to check reviews to see if this particular model is good. 

* case seems to come with a few RGB fans if you're into that, and has much better ventilation than case you chose.  EDIT: pictures are a bit misleading, there's no fans included (but at $59 it's kinda expected)

* psu is not the best but it's cheap ... if you want spend 20-30$ more on something fully modular here.   The 3060 won't go over 200w, the cpu won't go over 100, so you'll be fine with a 550-650w psu.

This is really good build and much better than original one. 

I'll just say few things.

first, little more storage will be good, Either HDD or bigger SSD.

As for a cooler, ~40 AUD cooler could be absolutely enough, But if he wants AIO and is okey with overpaying for aesthetics, He could get MSI MAG CORE LIQUID 240R. That's better than cooler master one, But not too expensive.

 

P.S. Case is more of personal preference, So chosing another one is also okey, As ong as it have normal airflow

regarding the build suggestion above: 

 

The MSI Bazooka above may have slightly better VRM heatsink which won't make much of a difference in practice, but you lose the wireless and the vga output the Pro-VDH Wifi has to offer... they're same price otherwise. 

 

The Gigabyte B550M AORUS PRO-P may be worth $4 more, it's $149 : https://au.pcpartpicker.com/product/2Bwkcf/gigabyte-b550m-aorus-pro-p-micro-atx-am4-motherboard-b550m-aorus-pro-p

The VRM is about the same, but you gain a better sound codec (ALC 1200) with 7.1 and optical out (5 analogue jacks), you get 2.5 gbps ethernet, and you get some RGB headers and a few extra usb 2.0 ports on the IO shield.  You lose the usb Type C 10gbps front panel header though, which may only matter if you get a case with such connector in the front.  Oh, and you lose the wireless if you compare it to the msi pro-vdh wifi. 

 

As for video card, historically the "Phantom" video cards were kinda suck ... that's the "budget" line, with simplified heatsinks, just good enough VRMs on the card... the price is good but it may be worth spending 20-40$ more on a 900$ item to get something with better build quality. 

You should definitely read some reviews for that particular card to see if the cooling solution is good enough, pay attention to ram temperature in particular, and also to see if the clocks (gpu chip and memory) are where they should be, comparable with other models. 

 

edit : just checked a review, and the card seems fine, temperatures looked good.

It's still much better than 2060 and for nowadays prices, You can't really get anything better than that unfortunately...

Alternatively, you go with the ryzen builds other's have suggested.
