Need help with a possible new rig!

[cyuansheng]

It's been almost 4years since I bought my rig and I might be handing over this rig to my gf's household or to my parents...

New rig is mainly for gaming at 144hz 1080p and multi-monitor(3) setup for non-gaming purposes.

Planning to get the new RX Vega 64/56 if i were to build this rig.

I need recommendations for the rest of the components (budget 1200 or less)

I only need
-CPU+Mobo (Not looking to OC and prefer mATX)
-Ram (16gb)
-PSU

Thanks!


Edit: Anyone using this monitor? http://www.lazada.sg/acer-kg271a-ga...category-020310000000.0.0.3mtUcT&ff=1&sc=EWY=

Scrolling around mynextcom and gathered a few choices.

Asrock AB350M Pro4 + Ryzen 7 1700 ~ $630 (This Mobo okay?)
GeIL SUPER LUCE 16GB(2x8GB) DDR4-3000MHz w/ LED ~ $183 (Any reliability issues?)
CoolerMaster Silencio 352 + Superflower Leadex Silver 90+ Full Modular 650W ~ $204 (Will look around for a better mid-tower or matx case but PSU good to go?)

AMD had announced Radeon Packs for the Vega 56/64 which comes with 2 free games (Prey & Wolfenstein 2/Sniper Elite 4), US$100 off selected Ryzen 7 & motherboard combo and US$200 off Radeon FreeSync monitor. No news on whether the Radeon Packs will be launched in Singapore so it might be better to wait for local pricing/availability and reviews of the Vega cards.

they confirm will mark up...due to gst & distributor...

mynext told me their business is bad cause nowadays people just buy directly from amazon

the cheapest i found locally now is tradepac, maybe you want buy from there. if pay cash, still got discount.

Asrock AB350M Pro4 + Ryzen 7 1700 ~ $558

i asked geil manufacturer....that version is NOT AMD edition.

Amazon is great, bought SSD, HDD, soundcard etc but if going to buy something >$400SGD then not so worth it... (correct me if i'm wrong, have not bought anything since 3years ago)

I did not know AMD ryzen/am4 board had different ram editions... I will have to find out more to see if it's worth upgrading lol...

Even so called different ram edition, newer bios version (with agesa 1.0.0.6a) have better compatibility already. Those Corsair Vengeance LPX ram that by right doesn't have amd certification also can run 2666mhz and above (see your ram lottery, some can hit higher some don't but 2666mhz pretty safe. Most should hit 2933mhz)
