Time for a PC upgrade?

[limcc]

You might want to check that seller's rating

Amazon Singapore's price is S$250

I was merely helping, won't bother checking every details unless I'm buying myself. The S$250 was there since at least last week.

cheapest AM4 board with 4 dimms as I can upgrade memory if needed. Anyway gaming is your focus, gpu is the way, not high end cpu. Heck, even ryzen 5 2600/ 1600 AF works fine. It will not bottleneck the GPU.

You say so much but never sic name of the board

I don't know anyone who buy B450 will plan to upgrade to X3950? Even if it does run, the VRM will be working at its max.



The MSI B450 lines were the highly recommended mobos for low budget user, so much so that the price got artificially jack up. eventhough it lack many features, maybe because the budget MSI X570 mobo suck too much?

Anyway, if you gonna get mobo from Newegg sg, there are way better boards for slightly more. For example, the real budget board that could run X3950 without breaking a sweat--the ASUS Prime X570-P, can be had for S$214.

Or if you only running X3950 at stock but need WiFi 6, the Asrock X570 Steel Legend is S$243.

All this pricing are from Newegg? Or local price from SLS or Lazada?

Sorry, just noticed. May I know does all this item from Newegg comes with warranty?

I am considering MSI Tomahawk Max at about $180 with 3yrs local warranty. Most probably, I will not swop out the CPU later to upgrade the CPU, will use with the Ryzen 3600 with the motherboard all the way.

Get the MSI Mortar Max Instead. Can downgrade to a smaller case later.

I'll guess the warranty is only 30 days in the form of Return policy, likely to incur restocking fee if the box is opened.

As many had pointed out, for the money we saved from Newegg/Amazon, we loose manufaturer warranty. in the first 30 days, still can get back majority of the cost. After that, we are at the mercy of individual manufacturer--if they bother to accept RMA, theres still courier fee. 2 ways.

AMD and intel Processor have international warranty, at least from my own experience. Can't recall the exact details but both do not require me to pay anything, I think HWZ have a details step by step thread somewhere...

I don't know much about current MSI board, can't help you.

But caveat emptor, check seller rating before placing order.

Yes very fishy! I checked and other sellers are selling at $360 so the price difference is too good to be true!

If you are getting MSI for serious overclocking, you may want to read up its VRM design. Most reviews found the X570 Gmaing lines have worst VRM than their budget B450 models.

The one I was looking up was the Asus TUF GAMING which is the best reviewed.

Saw this being sold on shopee. Given the price point, I do wonder if it is too good to be true.
