|
 |
Hello guys and gals.
Need some help and advice.
My computer is making 7 years old this christmas since I assembled it.
It's a 2500k on an Asus P8Z68-V with 8GB Kingston KHX1600C9D3/4GX and a ASUS GTX570 DirectCU II.
It's aging and some last games look ugly.
I'm not a gamer, streamer, etc, but usually when I buy hardware I want my computer can last at least 5 years, without spending more money in Hardware.
I already have a SSD ( samsung 850 EVO 250GB ), PSU ( Corsair RM650 ) and case ( Thermaltake ). My monitor is a HP w2207 wich I pretend to replace next year for a 2k monitor ( If someone can also recommend a good/budget friendly monitor I appreciate some advices )
I have a tight budget, +/- €700/750.
What I pretend to buy:
- CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 2600X - €181.00 ( Ryzen 2700x is €265.00, should I choose it? ). I pretend to overclock the cpu but nothing major, maybe 3.8/3.9 when gaming so the stock cooler is OK?
- Moherboard: MSI B450M Gaming Plus - €71.00
- GPU: MSI GTX 1070 TI Gaming 8G GDDR5 - €388.00
( Prices are without VAT since I'm buying through my job)
- Ram I don't now what to buy. The board can take RAM till 3466 MHz. It's better to buy 3200 MHZ? Wich brand? I've read Ryzen likes fast RAM. Wich one is recommended but not to expensive?
- HDD: 1TB. WD? Seagate?
If someone could spend a few minutes and help me I really appreciate it.
Thank you in advance

@Areius Thank you for your reply.
Regarding the cpu where I want to buy they don't have the 2600 non-X. I've searched on-line and in Portugal the best we can get ( at this moment ) is €169.39. For the difference ( +/- €11.00 ) I prefer to buy the 2600x.
For the ram I found this:
Gskill - memoria DDR4 3000 2x8GB C16 Aegis - €139.76
Gskill - memoria DDR4 3000 16GB C16 Aegis - €134.90
Adata - MÓDULO MEMÓRIA RAM DDR4 16GB(2X8GB)PC3000 XPG Z1 RED - €136.99
I think I'll choose the second option.
You wrote about the RX580 and yesterday I was reading some reviews and opinions and I might get one of that. With a FreeSync Monitor could be a good combination for the next 4/5 years.
Any tip on a good budget 2k freesync monitor?
The cheapest RX580 I found ( Sapphire Radeon RX580 NITRO+ 8GB GDDR5 (PCI-E) 11265-01-20G ) is around €232.00.
I can save €160.00 on the GPU.
The main difference is the 1071 TI is all around much better and down the road I should notice the difference )
Vega is expensive. Unless I can find a good deal in the black friday ( there is one at €365.45 plus shipment, Sapphire Radeon RX Vega 56 8GB GDDR5 ).
I'm gonna be honest the more I read and search the more I don't know what to buy.
The only thing for sure is I'm not buying Intel.
Regards,

Already bought some parts:
Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4 3000 PC-24000 16GB 2x8GB CL15 - 131,13€
Sapphire Radeon RX Vega 56 8GB GDDR5 - 365,94€
Seagate BarraCuda 3.5" 1TB SATA3 - 31,92€
I'm checking the Black Fiday deals just in case I get better prices in the CPU and MB.

No men, the stock CPU cooler for anything is NEVER ok. Had to use them on my PhenomI,PhenomII and the i5 3570k because the shop always send the extra ones out a few days later and the stock ones derped out through the bank. Way too hot, way too loud, waste of precious thermal paste because even in semi-idle the temps were close to maximum and gaming was out of the question.
Seagate, for me, was always a good choice because when i got a working one (amazon here doesn´t send them out with bubble wrap, DHL likes to throw them around before and during delivery) it always lived a long life.
As Areius already said, just get RAM with 3k and you will be good, Corsair is a very good pick due to their "lifetime" warranty. If it breaks you send it to them, they look at it, say "it´s kaputt" and you get a new one for 10 years, yay.

Now, I don't know what hardware costs in Poland, I guess it's cheaper because everything is stolen from Germany and resold... |
