DIY PC Rig Recommendations For 2025

its a very decent build. Change 5600 to 5600G. Can last for at least 3 to 5 years. More if hardware does not fail you. If you like a bit of bling, go to shopee or carousell , get the AMD wraith prism cooler.

With B550 mobo, you can upgrade to better chip next time when needed.

5600g? no way... 5600 is faster.... my own 2 cents

Thanks. I'm a non RGB user, prefer air cool setup as I'm not that confident in self build.

5600G is for office setups, it has lesser l3 cache and is slower than the 5600 by a lot. For gaming always take the 5600, especially if your setup has a gpu

i think like that... intel 12gen and amd am4 maybe a mad revival coz ppl might turn to ddr 4 due to the prices..

It has already happened. The 5800X3D now cost more than the 9800X3D.

The non-X3D 5000s are still reasonably priced. Even the 5600 can provide a decent gaming experience. I had the 5800X3D for more than a year before upgrading (when I got my 4K monitor) as my 5600G was sufficient for my needs at 1080p.

dont think i will ever pay for a mad price for a x3d chip

5600g will come in handy when you trouble shoot your system when no display

difference, is very very marginal

5600 is about 20+% faster than the 5600G in CPU limited scenarios.

5600G also only supports PCIE3.0, 5600 supports pcie 4.0.
I think the answer is pretty clear...

Finally got a R7 7700 after last purchase of i5 gen4 in 2014, was using a i7 gen6 from office trash until the upgrade. Price in early Nov was 1.3K, and now it has risen to 1.8K with the RAM shortage. Lucky, didn't keep waiting ... should have gotten a spare 32gb DDR5 kit, but as I didn't know what PC spec would I get,I didn't get the chance to get it.
Hopefully on next parts upgrade, prices would fall back to manageable levels.
If you have a fair PC/Laptop, guess it's better to see how to refresh it again.
