Recommendation for DIY build

[killless]

I’m looking to DIY build a new CPU to replace my current CPU. My last build was 7 years ago. I am able to fix the parts myself.

Please advise what will be the best parts to get. I’m looking for reliability, so hopefully it can last me another 7 years. I understand most parts warranty period is only 3 years max.

Asus motherboard, so far Asus has been quite reliable for me.

What’s the key differences between a gaming motherboard against a regular version?

To use AMD or Intel chip. Based on reliability and price difference.

Recommendations for best value for money type of RAM in the current market.

Reliable power supply.

Graphic card for occasional playing of SC2 and D3. Reason for replacement: 1st card XFX broke down after 2 years. 2nd card MSI broke down after 5 years.

Intend to use SSD which I just bought earlier this year.

No need sound card. Have existing DVD drive.

Budget $500++ (mainly for motherboard $200+, chip & graphic card)

Thanks in advance for your helpful suggestions!

Wait so 500 is for motherboard + cpu + gpu? If yes, what's the total budget for the rig?

If no, that means 500 for whole rig?

Parts to buy:
Motherboard
Cpu chip
Graphic card
Power supply
RAM
Casing

I estimate $500++ or what's the price for these parts based on my requirements?
Thanks

Lmao ts. Google first pls hahaha.

Coffee lake is Intel's 8th Gen Core I-series processor.

Sent from PM me if you wanna build a DIY PC or wanna learn how to make one yourself using GAGT

If it is very new, then cost is likely to be very high isn't it?

I'm on a limited budget.

Get a intel g4560+ h110 board. Get 8gb 2400mhz ram, gtx 1050 since you only play sc2 & d3.

Thanks for your useful response. At least now I can roughly guage from here.

U will recommend I use intel chip more?

It's more like....that's the only chip which fits your budget

 

[killless]

So won't recommend use amd chip?

Again, 8th gen come out next month, why u wanna buy old model? Intel is for gaming, amd is more on heavy processing. go youtube n do research.

R3 more than enough. Check tradepac. RX 460/560 also more than enough. Black 500gb or ssd for the kick.

Cos I'm limited on budget.
I don't follow hardware technology, that's why seek pro expert here.

Will go with intel chip then.

If you are on budget then g4560 is for you. Which chip rrp is $80? Even r3 1200 is more expensive. I do not think coffeelake will have such price to performance chip but you can wait and see if you dun mind waiting.

If I'm willing to pay a bit more, will R3 1200 be much better value for money?

Not for your usage which is mainly sc2 and d3
