First build

[Cha0yue]

This is my first time on hardwarezone so apologies if I'm not supposed to post here.

I'm making my first PC build and this is what I'm going for:

CPU cooler	Thermalright Peerless Assassin 120 SE ARGB cooler	dynacore		65

Total				SGD 1709.00

I'm also thinking of buying this monitor https://aoc.com/us/gaming/products/monitors/24g2sp
from shopee for $269

And does anyone have a recommendation for a mechanical keyboard that is less than $100?

decent picks overall, but there are places where u can save that won't affect the overall experience.

CPU

R5 7600X

Craftfixbuild

308.00

u could save a few dollars by going for the non x, it will perform basically the same as the 7600x.

CPU cooler

Thermalright Peerless Assassin 120 SE ARGB cooler

dynacore

65

id opt for the non se and argb version that is cheaper @ $57 from tradepac, since the pop air can accommodate the taller non se. this should also give u slightly better cpu temperatures.

Motherboard

X670-P WIFI

Amazon

289.63

any specific reason for going x670? b650 is generally good enough, and u can get a very decent local set asus tuf gaming with warranty for $240 (dynacore) that also has a gen5x4 nvme slot.

RAM

CORSAIR VENGEANCE DDR5 RAM 32GB (2x16GB)

Amazon

zen4 is very sensitive to memory timings, so id tighten this kit's secondary timings as much as possible. 6000c36 is fairly loose.

PSU

Corsair RM Series RM850X

Amazon

195.49

I strongly suggest getting psus locally as they generally have long warranties and rmaing an export set will more than offset any savings u get now. for this price, u can get the asus rog strix 850w or non x rm850 (dynacore) which are also top tier psus. however, this power capcity is very overkill for a 7600 + 6700xt build, a 650w unit will suffice for a much cheaper price (~$150).

I'm also thinking of buying this monitor https://aoc.com/us/gaming/products/monitors/24g2sp

good pick.

but u can also refer to this thread for alternatives:

I can't find the non SE and argb version but I found the non argb version for $55.

I can't seem to find this too... Maybe take a screenshot?

I think I may get the Asus Rog Strix 850W 80+ Gold for $185 from dynacore but I'm not sure if there's warranty.

Thanks for the suggestions!

oh i meant that regular version that is not se and does not have argb. u can just get a non rgb version and slap on ur own rgb fan on it.

if its from dynacore, it will have warranty for sure. getting from amazon though, unless u buy from sls shops, is usually as good as no warranty.

actually now looking at the total price of the build, u can actually get a 4070 build from invaderpc, which will be quite a bit faster. u can follow my suggestions here:

Yeah that looks like a good deal. I'll be checking with them the price of changing the cooler and psu. Thanks for the suggestion, wouldn't have seen it otherwise.

 

[naked123]

crucial p5 plus 1tb $88 from bizgram pricelist. this pricing idk real or not as all other shops selling $10X

corsair rm850e $190 from pct pricelist. same tier as rm850x

 

[deepblue_82]

that 6700xt looks good at the price...

 

[Cha0yue]

Thanks for all the input! I've decided to go with the prebuilt from invader pc as suggested by NightRaven49
