Ryzen $$$ Build

[ChackoM]

Hey community,

 

So I've had this part list for a long time now, constantly making edits and all. Is there anything I should change? I'm dead set on a Cherry MX Brown Keyboard, but if there is a cheaper one that also has backlit keys I'll be fine with it. Budget is around $1000, so trying to make it a bit cheaper. Thanks!

I'd say to save and get the keyboard later, so you can fit in 16GB of 3000MHz RAM.

You should probably wait untill the GPU market goes back to normal.

Scrap the RGB for a fan since the case is small, get RGB later. Omit the keyboard and save, replace with better ram.

140$ for a damn mouse and keyboard seems like a good place to start. lol

I may be biased though as I always get and use free keyboards and mice and am not picky at all , I'll use pretty much anything that works.

47$ for a 1tb hard drive is kinda a ripoff. Shop ebay and get a used 2-4tb hgst.

I have a V21 and that case is anything but small.

Yup, drop the keyboard. Though I wouldn't recommend a used HDD, and $47 is a normal price for a 1TB WD Blue.

I'd get a bigger monitor as 21 inch is quite small for a main monitor

The used market for HDD's is unsafe. You'll use a drive for 6 months then poof you need a new drive.

Get a Non mechanical keyboard. wait for gous to come back down in price. With the money you saved get an ssd and 16gb of ram. Get a wd blue instead of caviar blue. Caviar blue isnt much cheAper than the wd blue.

Any idea when that would be? I'm about to buy parts to build a PC for myself, but if I can get a better deal without waiting forever for the price to drop I'd wait for that.

You'll probably save around $50 or more on that specific GPU with that price point.

Nope. The Pro4 is the cheapest "good" board you can get.
