Desktop Upgrade Recommendation

Before anyone say OH AMAZON NO WARRANTY BLA BLA BLA. I believe every consumer/buyer/first timer here have the right to know what are the available options and decide for themselves.

Basically below 1k
Not necessary to have wifi
Pairing with i7-11700

Either:
- MSI MAG B560 TOMAHAWK WIFI + i7 11700 - $806
- MSI MAG Z590 TOMAHAWK WIFI + i7 11700 - $876
- ASUS ROG STRIX B560-E GAMING WIFI + i7 11700 - $866
- Asus ASUS TUF B560-PLUS GAMING WIFI + i7 11700 - $770

Add Corsair Veng LPX 3200MHz CL16 16GB - $139 so just nice $1k.
The rest may or may not have stock.

tradepac has 11700 + gigabyte b560m aorus pro (non wifi) for 682. amazon sg has crucial ballistix 2x8gb 3600mhz for 120 before $7 shipping (eligible for prime). total just over $800.

edit: can also get the 11700 + aorus pro from taobao for under $600 shipping included, but u do lose local warranty support.

Thanks Guys, If I have a ATX case (Using Tecware Alpha) now, I dont really need to get a Micro-ATX motherboard right? I should just buy a ATX motherboard?

well it depends. i would only get atx if i need the extra pcie slots or if it is cheaper. generally atx costs more than matx though. so personally i would just get matx, nothing wrong with putting a matx board in an atx case.

I personally would wait for win11 to be out first.

Thanks. Will have a look at Matx board.

Just another question, I was recommended a 2x8GB 3200mhz RAM. Does getting a 3600mhz RAM makes a big impact in Frame Per Seconds in game? Or even in usage in using the computer for multitasking?

EDIT: Looks like there wasn't much difference between the 3200 and 3600 ram. But coming from my default 2133 ram bump to 3200. Theres a noticeable difference in gaming. From a post in Reddit.

moneyspart citibank promo. 1st sept to 15 sept. get ergotune classic

For just a few dollars, get the 3600 memory over the 3200 memory. Go for the 3200 only if you have very serious budget issue.

3600 is the sweet sport/ideal speed for both AMD and Intel now.

Does the die still matter?

Does the die still matter?

CPU wise?

 

[soulblader_89]

CPU wise?

5600x, 32 GB ram, gt some Samsung SSD

 

[soulblader_89]

I think 650w is enough, but I heard it is better to get 750 watt for future proof, as Gfx card will get more hungry in future

 

[NightRaven49]

personally for 650w, at minimum the super flower legion gx pro (not the hx model unless u dont mind non modular cables). very cheap for 650w (~$100 at tradepac), though only 5 year warranty. i dont see its semi modularity as a con since u are going to use the 24pin, 8pin and pcie power anyway, but the 750w and above models include sata power in the fixed cables so i wouldnt recommend them. u can also consider super flower leadex iii, seasonic focus and corsair rm/hx series.
