whats ur budget and use case? if gaming, do mention ur monitor resolution and refresh rate.
imo the 5050 is a hard pass regardless. based on a similar looking spec, this seems to cost about 1.1-1.2k?

I using mostly for work and sometime simple games. It will cost much higher if I upgrade from prebuilt brands like dell, etc, so I try build pc. It's within my budget of abt $1.2 k. Thank you

What type of work? Just regular MS office?

What type of games? Minesweeper/solitaire type of games to AAA Battlefield 6?

Documents with graphic & specifications. I can't remember the game name as few months no play and I also not good in games. Kindly advise whether should buy prebuilt or build pc. Thanks

It doesn't even sound like you need a full on PC though that depends on the games you play.

Because if the game is not graphic intensive, getting something like a mini PC is a better choice for you. Saves you money too. Depending on what specs you want, the better ones range between 300+ to 600+.

Unless you are doing more graphic intensive tasks like working with AI or playing AAA games at high fidelity, you don't need much.

Please help to recommend on the brand and model of mini PC. Thanks

Emmm I linked some beelink mini PCs in my previous reply? For your use case, just pick whichever you need in terms of RAM and SSD size.

AMD RYZEN 5 7600
Gigabyte B850M Gaming X WF6E: $556
ADATA XPG LANCER DDR5-6000 CL30 32GB - $230
Gigabyte RTX5060 8G Windforce: $440
Samsung 990 Pro 1TB NVME GEN 4 - $169
FSP HV PRO 85+ 650W - $67
MONTECH X5M - $60
ID-COOLING FROZN A410 ARGB - $30

Total: $1552

Within a budget of $1.2k is difficult unless you don't get the graphic card.
Use the AMD Ryzen onboard graphics temporary.
*PS this price is just for reference guide, is not for sales or promotion purpose.
Don't know why once it was removed proably someone assume this is sales.

honestly the spec you posted earlier should be fine, for work and light gaming, theres not really much to complain about. if under 1.2k it should be fine.

It seems like you absolutely insist on a full fledged PC even though you don't need it.

Then might as well go for either of these builds:

AMD GPU(most bang for buck): https://www.invaderpc.com/product/specm09/

Nvidia GPU(On par performance as the AMD but you're paying more for the green tax and more features): https://www.invaderpc.com/product/specm32/

Which one would run at cooler temperatures?

I see that the AMD one can run three monitors

Monitor support is dependent on the GPU output. If it gives u the option for 3 outputs, it probably supports 3 monitors.

Also, I mentioned that their performance is similar. Right down to their temps.

You have just brought business to dynacore . Thanks for your recommendation! Likely going red to avoid green tax

After consideration, i will just go a working PC and will check later on the specs. Thank you
