[Notquitedead]

Budget (including currency): Max 1000 CAD

Country: Canada

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: ULTRAKILL, Minecraft (probably with shaders), 3D CAD software.

Other details: https://pcpartpicker.com/user/Notquitedead/saved/f3nsK8https://pcpartpicker.com/list/NvRJgB

 

Gimme some advice. I've only built scrapper style before and I'm upgrading from an A 10 7800 and a GTX 960.

 

[edit] I'm considering insted of a Ryzen 5 series, a Ryzen 3. I just think that'd bring down the price and lower my GPU bottleneck.

Your list is private, but if you want to save a buck, a used gtx 970 can be had for a pittance

edit: oops! sorry, didn't sink in that you're upgrading FROM a gtx 960

Private list. Am4 is even more of a dead platform than current intel, the motherboards are also scarse and over-priced as the prices are higher than 3 years ago.

HP Omen mobos can be had for pretty cheap on the secondhand or small pc store market. I got mine for 30 USD and it was unused. B550. It ain't as feature rich as a non-custom board, but it fits in the budget nicely

I think I finally fixed it. I don't want to spend the money for DDR5 nor do I want to use intel, even if DDR4 is a dead platform.
