Hi, I am a noob in PC building, and I am thinking of buying a PC from Dreamcore, and the specs are as follow...

  1. CPU Intel i7-11700KF / 5.0 GHz / 8 cores / 16 thread
  2. Motherboard - MSI Z590 ACE
  3. GPU - PALIT RTX 3080TI GAMINGPRO 12GB
  4. RAM - Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro SL 32GB
  5. SSD- 2TB Dreamcore Hyperion Plus PCle 4.0 M.2
  6. Power Supply - Cooler Master G800 80 Plus GOLD (Non Modular)
So my question is, is this build worth the price of SGD$4.9K?

If it isn't, may I ask, is there any recommended shop for me to choose the PC parts, and they will help me to resemble it?

The above system not worth it. Try tradepac.

Try PC theme.

As for the dreamcore specs.. not sure why they recommend coolermaster and non modular though. As for the SSD maybe good to go WD SN850.

Why not Ryzen? Are you going to OC? If not I'm sure $3.5 more than enough to get Ryzen with 3080ti.

Don't think is worth $4.9k hmmm but I'm out of the market for almost a decade.. I just upgraded though total about $3k.

From PCtheme pricelist.

11700KF + MSI Z590 ACE = 1206
PALIT RTX 3080 TI GAMING PRO 12GB = 2339
CORSAIR VENGEANCE RGB PRO SL 3600MHZ = 288
CRUCIAL P5 NVMe M.2 GEN.4 2TB SSD = 597
CM G-SERIES 800W 80+ GOLD= 139

Total: S$4569.

This is without casing plus other things like cooling that might already include inside the Dreamcore PC. If price sama sama, then you can just go for the Dreamcore for ease of mind and setting up.

I have no prior experience with Ryzen, hence I picked Intel.

I will check out with PC theme as well, and do a comparison.

if ur not a heavy power user like doing both gaming and productivity, its not a good value rig. even for just gaming, dreamcore offers the ryzen 7 5800x with 3080 non ti for 3.5k, which will come very close to ur preferred rig in terms of performance and u will be hard pressed to find any difference in using either.

EDIT: it just isnt a good value rig in general. 11700kf cannot match 5800x in any way except when gaming at higher resolutions where performance is more dependent on gpu; 5800x is superior in both productivity workloads and cpu limited gaming. u also have to deal with higher power draw in general by going intel. u probably also wont ever use the premium features of a high end z590 or x570 board either, if u die die want to use those chipsets generally the low to mid range is more than enough.

if u really want intel, may be better to wait for a while, next gen alder lake coming soon and seems to be quite promising in terms of performance.

I'm also using Intel haha.. in then went for the mid range 11400F for best bang for buck. Initially wanted Ryzen 5600X but price diff too much and I probably won't utilize it fully.

My updated Intel specs for light gaming and working.. all from PCT except GPU and PSU.

Intel i5 11400F
Gigabyte B560M Aorus Pro
Silverstone AIO PF240 ARGB
Corsair Vengeance Pro RGB 32gb 3200mhz CL16
Palit RTX3060Ti 8gb Dual
Western Digital SN850 1tb
Western Digital SN750 500gb
Leadex Superflower II 650watt full modular
Lian Li O11 Air mini + unifan AL120

Total damage $2.4k

Just to add on, 11700k + Z590 Ace for 1.2k is super bo hua.

For that price you can get a 5900x and x570 Tomahawk. You get 4 more cores and 8 more threads.

Also you can always buy your own nvme drive from Amazon, which will be cheaper than local prices.

The issue is, I am trying to find a reputable shop to buy the parts and hope they build the PC for me.

Buy parts from various shops, including online. Bring all to #02-32 and ask Nigel to assist you on the building with some kopi money.

PC Themes is a common name that you'll hear about from people here. Dynacore also tends to have decent feedback.

If you buy all the parts from them they will usually build for you for free
