$5000 Gaming desktop recomendation

Wow, didn't know that now Bangkok is almost the same as SG, where some PC shop are going downhill. Den TS why not consider a laptop? Much better than lugging a pc to there?

 

[Blindaim]

Buy a laptop with Thunderbolt 3 + external gpu.

I never ask you to reuse any parts. I am saying you should not spend so much on a single new rig since rate of diminishing returns is very high up there. Spend $3K now and then use $2k to upgrade in 3 years time. You will gain far more than what you can get right now.

Plus, since you are going thailand. royfrosty is your best guide to PC parts there.

That is not true for many components.

High end processors can last many years as gaming is more gpu intensive. When was the last time you heard someone needed to upgrade their ram speed or motherboard because of bottleneck?
Same for storage. A 1 tb m2 ssd will not be outdated in 5 years. Peripherals such as speakers, mouse, keyboard and monitors as well.

Im in Bangkok and they dont have much in higher end stuff in stock and prices are 20-30% higher

isnt thailand price better?

What i am implying is he can possibly own a 2TB M.2 SSD in 3 years time.

Hi, appreciate your time for this. Would this be sufficient for 4k gaming? mainly dota 2

From Techporn:
1080 Ti FE at 167 fps for 4K resolution

Shouldn't be an issue.

 

[XClusivE.L]

[||||||||||]

Wah lau, now even $4k system also need to worry about gaming lags ah?

 

[raysusan]

[Hailgod]

[spiky0180]

That's my initial thought. Then I realised he wants to play dota in 4k resolution.
