Posted August 22, 2022 Budget (including currency): $2500 - $3000 AUD Country: Australia Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Mainly for gaming, although I don't currently play games that require high graphics I would still love to have the option there if I choose to in future. I am also a graphic designer so need a computer that would run Adobe Programs with ease. Other details (I've attached my current list) and am planning on buying at the end of the year/early next year, I already have a monitor that supports up to 1440p. Will also need to purchase an OS https://au.pcpartpicker.com/list/3wTkqm This is also the link to the build! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted August 22, 2022 (edited) Check the RAM's specific SKU against the board's QVL list, and also its speed against the max supported by the CPU. I have had a random POST failure with a 5900X build that apparently was due to non-QVL RAM. DIMMs failed in a test build and have been replaced with RAM from the board's QVL, so far, no further issues and even seems a bit snappier. There has also been a pattern of certain Corsair RAM kits not playing well with certain Ryzens. Haven't quite figured out what, if any, the common denominators are yet. But it could very well be related to what I just mentioned. You might also consider the Asus KO-RTX3060ti-8GB-OC if they are available in AU. Amazon has them for $500 USD, not sure what that equates to in AUD.

Posted August 22, 2022 Could you post the link instead? In general at this price point I'd probably be waiting for the am5 release, but if you want to buy now, I'd probably switch to a intel build instead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there much of a difference between intel and AMD? I've read that amd is better but honestly have no clue! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ti is faster, yes, but I'm not sure I'd spend another 50% for it. I also have an Asus Phoenix GTX1650 OC ($200 USD) with a 3600X and an Asus GTX1650S-4GB-OC ($150 USD on sale in 2020) with a 1700, but having paid $850 USD for the card I mentioned about six months ago, I'm thinking either the games I play don't really push the GPU that hard, or the major difference between the GTX1650 / GTX1650S and the RTX3060ti is purely speed and FPS. Of course, I primarily play American Truck Simulator and BeamNG.drive, haven't really gotten into FPS games for some time, at least since GZDoom. Further, I would consider the WD Blue SN570. Generally a better bang for the buck than the Samsung Evos. Don't get me wrong, the Evos are faster, but they're pricey as well, and past 3,500 mbps, you really don't notice the extra speed anyway unless you're doing sustained writing, which makes a PCIe4 M.2 run hotter anyway, and is detrimental to service life.

Thinking I might stick with the 3060 because I'm not super focused on FPS so wouldn't be economical for the $300 price jump! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've read that amd is better but honestly have no clue! Nothing wrong with your list, just a bit expensive on the parts side Better build for 33 cents more https://au.pcpartpicker.com/list/JkfbyK 12600kf since it beats amd in single core and matches it in multi core Good 360 aio Z690 steel legend since It's aparrently cheaper than the b660 one Same kit of ram but 3200 cl16 Cheaper 1tb storage 3070 instead of a 3060 Same case and psu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thinking I might stick with the 3060 because I'm not super focused on FPS so wouldn't be economical for the $300 price jump! To clarify, the FPS i referred to earlier was First Person Shooter. But with the right settings, I've seen decent frames per second (also FPS) out of the 1650s I have as well. For example, I've seen similar FPS from the 1650s using 1080p or 1440p that I would see from the 3060ti at 4K.
