hi guys, planning to get the following
Coolermaster NR200P Max
i5 13600K+ Asus Strix Z790-I or Asus Strix B760-I
Asus Tuf Gaming RTX4070Ti OC
WD Black SN850X
Crucial P5 Plus
Read that the B760-I will require undervolting to keep temps low and the 2nd M.2 will be limited as there isn't enough lanes, is that true?

only gonna use it for gaming and day to day net surfing

what ram did you pick? Gonna get the same case with a similar setup

Asrock considered quite cheap liao for both the X670E and B650E lineup, if you find the X670E Steel Legend too expensive can drop to say, B650E PG Riptide loh

You lose some connectivity due to the use of single chip instead of double chip but if you don't need that many USB/SATA/M2 it's a decent option with similar PCIe layout

Thanks!

should I get a 13600k or 7600/7600?

pairing it with a 4070ti
Probably a 13600k, make sure you get the 5600MHz version of Fury Beast cause they are Hynix die (older ones probably M die, newly manufactured ones are A die)

Guys, planning a small form factor build. Planning to use it for some Ultra Wide 2k gaming, work (mostly excel), surfing of the internet and watching videos.

Case: Cooler Master NR200P Max
CPU: Ryzen 7700 or 7700x (Not sure if i should go for the X version, what do you guys think)
Mobo: Asus ROG STRIX B650E-I Gaming Wifi
GPU: Gigabyte 4070 Ti GAMING OC 12G (Have purchased this and can't be changed)
Ram: DDR5, 32GB, Need RGB. :D Still undecided here
Storage: 1 or 2TB, preferably Gen 4 NVME
Cooler: 280mm AIO (Included in case)
PSU: V850 SFX GOLD 850w (included in case)

Would need some suggestion on compatible ram and storage.

Also, would it be cheaper if i buy some of the parts from SLS (From Dynacore etc), or would it be cheaper if i just get them from shopee, lazada, amazon etc? Not in a rush to build it.

TIA

Hello everyone, looking to build a new rig for playing Diablo 4 at 1440p maximum settings.

Will probably wait for the AMD 7800X3D chip since it seems to be great for gaming.

I've listed the parts I mainly require for the build, but I'm not sure which to get; should I get them separately or all from one shop? Since for some parts the prices can vary by quite a large margin.

Thank you!

RAM I suggest Kingston Fury Beast 5600 if you willing to tinker a bit, Hynix A die so it has the most overclocking headroom, otherwise can get the 6000 if you willing to pay more

Storage can either go for the WD SN850X or Samsung 980 Pro

Can buy online if you see a good deal loh, sometimes there might be good deals in stores itself so you can follow too

Yea, not taking the price seriously as it will change when actual release. Just making a note on the motherboards I'm considering.

should I get a 13600k or 7600/7600?

pairing it with a 4070ti
if just gaming, either will perform about the same. see which combo less expensive with appropriate memory: u can get away with slower cheaper 5200c40 ddr5 for intel, but amd side need fast tight ram (preferably 6000c30) which costs more. 7600 consumes quite a bit less power though and comes with a box cooler, so u can skimp on the cooler if u want.

i would have suggested going for a tecware fusion with a way cheaper matx mobo (strix b650e really 💸), atx psu and air cooler, but wont be viable since u alr bought the gb 4070ti which is way too long (barely fits in the nr200p max). for 7700 vs 7700x, if the price of the 7700x is more than 5% over the non x, just get the non x. for ram, since u are getting a non x3d chip, best if u can get 6000c36 or tighter ddr5, currently i only see the gskill trident z5 neo or kingston fury beast meet these timings, are available locally and have rgb. for storage now there is a promo for wd black sn850x across a lot stores, can get 1tb for under $150.
Also, would it be cheaper if i buy some of the parts from SLS (From Dynacore etc), or would it be cheaper if i just get them from shopee, lazada, amazon etc? Not in a rush to build it.
from sls u are buying local stock parts which are generally more expensive than buying export set from say amazon. some shopee and lazada listings are also from sls shops so pricing may not be very different from sls. u can get some really good deals for ram and ssd on amazon, and for ram especially u can get kits with even tighter timings than what is available locally.

good effort. personally i would get them separately as u mentioned the prices do vary from shop to shop, so there can be significant savings. i would also like to suggest a few more things for u to consider. since u are looking at getting a x3d chip, ram selection is less of a worry, so u can drop down to slower kits and still get >95% of the performance for a lot less money. i see u are also targeting 4080 level of performance, so u can take a look at 7900xtx cards which should perform similarly for cheaper, got quite a few models near the $1600 mark (gb gaming oc from bizgram is under) so u stand to save $200-300 from the cheapest 4080. they also dont require the pcie5 power connector so u can save money there too. finally, if u can find the thermalright peerless assassin 120 for cheaper (usually around $80), that is the better pick.

CPU - TBC to collect tomorrow either 7700x or 7900x or 7950x still undecided
Sapphire Nitro 7900xtx $1550 (Carousell)

Gskill Trident Z5 32GB 6000mhz CL30
SN850x 2TB
Formulamod PSU extension cables
Total USD 385 (512 SGD) (Amazon US)

SN850x 1TB - $135 (Carousell - buy because my Amazon expected delivery for NVME was month end, but then it updated again to end of the week. Wasted money)
4 x Arctic P14 - $64 (Carousell)
NZXT H7 Flow - $170 (Lazada)
Deepcool LS720 - $159 (Carousell)
Psu - reused

$2590 spent so far - I was hoping to not cross $3K.. but I guess it will happen :(

not sure if I saved any money overall compared to Simlim but I enjoy shopping online hahaha

now time to sell my 5600x RTX3070 PC which I lugi a lot since I bought during the peak of computer prices in Covid times.
