Update in case people were wondering, got it on Tuesday evening (ordered on Wednesday afternoon). So far no problems these 2 days.
3k is enough for a near top of the line pc, significantly more than that would be marginal gains. u can refer to the high perf reco on the first post, then swap out parts as necessary (eg flashier mobos, more ram/storage).
Hi @NightRaven49, thanks for updating the PC rig recommendation at page 1
can I ask why FSP VITA GM was recommended for 850w?
It is tier B+ as compared to XPG Core Reactor II VE 850w which was tier A according to SPL PSU list.
this spreadsheet seems quite new, never came across this and seems quite useful thanks! i suggested the vita gm due to its longer warranty (7y vs 10y), use of japanese caps and technically better operation in areas like efficiency and ripple suppression (based on reviews from media outlets that reviewed both units), while still being price competitive with the ii ve.Hi @NightRaven49, thanks for updating the PC rig recommendation at page 1

other than maybe getting the sn850x from tradepac for $11 saving, looks good. but if u want to max out ur budget and not worried about upgradeability, i7 14700 bundles are decent too with a significant uplift to multicore performance.
Thank you sir for your inputs
Likely will stick to 7700 and upgrade if needed.
can try taobao casing fans psu bundles if u want to reduce further costs~Thank you sir for your inputs
Potentially silly question: does it make sense to choose the MSI B650 over the B650M? Mainly concerned with poorer cooling on the latter due to smaller footprint esp after the gpu upgrade.
Can't find the MSI B650 gaming + wifi on dynacore price list... Only found ASUS TUF GAMING B650-E WIFI at $562 w CPU and thinking if it is a good mobo.
dont think there will be fundamentally any change in terms of airflow, since the only major difference is the length of the board. cooler compatibility also goes unchanged; these 2 cooling factors are more dependent on case selection rather than the mobo form factor. vrm wise the b650m does run hotter, though that is due to the vrm design and is still more than enough for a 7700.
the b650-e is also a decent board.
You mean you change the entire pc, monitor and still black screen with green box?
Budget?
Yes, not sure is it the intergrated graphic card not sufficient to support and require an independent GPU?
Hope not too high, i am not playing game just normal surfing and watching shows. Less than $150 if possible?
u dun really need a gpu for that, u tried connecting 1 monitor first?
typically igpu shouldnt fail one, since it is part of the cpu which generally dont fail also. sounds like a ram issue, if u got spare usb stick maybe can try memtest to check. ddr4 is cheap nowadays also, a good crucial kit can be found for $40 or less on carou.
brand new will be a bit hard to find outside of really weak cards like the gt710. u will need to go carou for this as well.
Both monitor is just 2 weeks old. It dont happen often, only occasionally (Mayb 1-2 monthly).
My 2 ram also new. Can u advise how to do memtest? Need to download any webiste?
