Need Help! Suggestions / Recommendation

Luckybastard08 · December 10, 2021

Budget (including currency): Php 35,000 - 40,000

Country: Philippines

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: LOL, GTA V, RUST, etc

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):

It's been a while since I last built and had a computer rig, I think the last time I played on a desktop was way back 2016. I went with an APU (Ryzen 5 5600G) and will upgrade in the future once this scalpocalypse / gpu apocalypse died down.

Here's what I've got so far.

Motherboard: I wanted a mobo that can be overclocked. Which is better?

GIGABYTE A520M AORUS ELITE motherboard
ASUS ROG Strix B450-F Gaming II motherboard

SSD: Which is better?
Tammuz GKV700 512GB NVMe SSD with Up to 2,100MB/s
PNY CS3030 M.2 NVMe SSD CS3030 M.2 NVMe 500GB SSD

RAM: Is this a good RAM? T-Force Dark Zα 16GB Dual 3600MHz CL18 TDZAD48G3600HC18JBK

Hoping for suggestions and feedback. Thank you!

If you want to overclock, ASUS ROG Strix B450-F Gaming II motherboard is better.

never heard of Tammuzz, i would go with PNY CS3030 M.2 NVMe SSD CS3030 M.2 NVMe 500GB SSD

for Ram, get the GSkill Trident Z Neo, it's one of the most well-regarded ram kits!

If you've neve rheard of a brand, do go for it only because it's cheaper, search up reviews, and go for good brands that have some reputation!

Thanks for your input. I'm still torn what MOBO to get. ASUS ROG Strix B450-F Gaming II motherboard has more aesthetics look and a lot more usb ports, and it's only 1,385 difference from GIGABYTE A520M AORUS ELITE motherboard.
