Question Buying a new Gaming Pc

[Kaamos_Llama]

Earlier the two rigs had different GPU's there would be a noticeable difference between a 3060 and a 3060Ti.

PNY NVME or SATA?

The NVME is preferable.

 

[Kaamos_Llama]

Sounds good, the Asus board is alright. SSD would be nice if it was an NVME and not SATA as they are quite a bit slower. Not the end of the world, but would be much better. RAM they should know it works as I said.

I think it should be this one https://www.setupgame.ma/produit/disque-dur-ssd-t-force-delta-black/ looking at the shape I would say it's a SATA SSD right?

I'd imagine this one, the one you linked was Team. Both are SATA.

I'm stupid I mixed SSD and RAM... sorry

I asked them and yes it's a SATA SSD

 

[Why_Me]

Thank you!

I would like to get something cheaper, but if the MSI B550 A PRO is as you said the baseline I'll go for it.

Ryzen 7 5800X is really tempting but if I want to save money and get a decent monitor maybe I should go for the Ryzen 5 5600 as @Why_Me suggested?
Am I gonna be limited in the futur if I get the Ryzen 5 or should I go for the Ryzen 7? Is the difference that big?

If you go with AMD look at the 5600 or the 5700X.

 

[Orokusaki]

If you go with AMD look at the 5600 or the 5700X.

They have Ryzen 5600X in that build, what do you think of it?

That's a decent cpu ^^

 

[Orokusaki]

That's a decent cpu ^^

I know 😅 I meant compared to what you suggested the 5600 and 5700X

 

[Kaamos_Llama]

5600 basically the same CPU as the 5600X both 6 cores.. 5700X is basically 5800X both 8 cores.

 

[Orokusaki]

According to them the build will be something like this :

CASE: ASUS TUF GT301
MOTHERBOARD : ASUS B550-A
CPU : AMD RYZEN 5 5600X (3.7 GHz / 4.6 GHz)
GPU: RTX 3060Ti 8GB
RAM :T-FORCE 16 GB 3200 Mhz DDR4
STORAGE SSD: PNY 1TB
PSU : NZXT 650X 80PLUS Gold

Of course the PNY SSD is a SATA so I will be replacing it.

What do you think of this build, should I keep it like this or are the options you gave me before better?
The build you will suggested me now might be the one I will go for.

Thank you!

 

[Kaamos_Llama]

That seems good, much of what makes a build better or worse is based on the price.

Unless there is another change to make this might be the build, I trust you on this haha 😄

 

[Kaamos_Llama]

As I said earlier, I'd rather use 3600 speed RAM and an NVME SSD, but if youre on a strict budget it wont make all that much difference.

I didn't forget that, I took note of those details.

One last thing would be the monitor, what do you think will do best with this build?

 

[Kaamos_Llama]

That would also depend on your budget. Something with an IPS screen, at 144hz and 2560x1440 resolution is where I'd be aiming ideally.

 

[Orokusaki]

Oh so this build will handle 1440p, if that's the case which size should I to look for?
Any monitor to avoid?

 

[Kaamos_Llama]

It will handle it just fine for most games, might have to tweak settings a little in very new demanding stuff but not much. The monitor market moves very fast right now, but a good site to check reviews is RTings.

 

[Orokusaki]

I can't decide between 24" and 27" but 27" seems to be the sweet spot for 1440p.
Isn't it too big for gaming, maybe I'm saying that because I was using laptop for years now.

 

[Kaamos_Llama]

27 is great and what I have, many people use 32 or even bigger.

32?!! 😮 and I'm sitting here with my 15" laptop 😅

I will try to find a 27 monitor in my bubdget range

Or 49" if you'd prefer ultrawide.

 

[Brian Boru]

27" … Isn't it too big for gaming

Well… I play 1080p on a 42" TV!

It truly is in the eye of the beholder—and of course, my eyes are ancient, so there's that
But don't let anyone else tell you what size you should get—monitor is the PC part you interact with the most, so make damn sure it's your own personal choice.

That would be amazing for single player games, but I have enough neck pain already 😆

I used to play with my PS3 on a 55" TV and it was great. I agree, it's a personal preference when it comes to the monitor size, I just thought maybe a 27 is more suitable for 1440p than a 24.

I am still looking for a good one in my budget range.
Thanks!
