Hello friends and fellow members I am planning to take a new Broadband connection of "up to 100 Mbps speed" from Airtel, location New Town, Kolkata. They are providing router and installation free and it is optical fibre connection. As the sales representative had no idea about the technical...

Hello friends At last, the computer is up and running. I bought the following: Ryzen 2600x Gigabyte GA-AX370 Gaming K3 Corsair Vengence LPX 2x8GB 3000MHz Corsair CX650W CM K380 Kingston 120GB SSD MSI GeForce GTX 1050Ti Why did I finally choose the above: Processor: Ryzen 2600x provides...

Thanks, but the board I have zeroed upon will cost me about 8.9k including taxes

Yes, but the problem, X470 boards are too costly and hardly provides any extra facility or functionality over X370s. The price of X470 is almost double, compared to X370.

Friends Finally, I am going to take delivery of the following components tomorrow: Ryzen 2600x Gigabyte AT-AX370 Gaming K3 Corsair Vengence 2x8GB 3000MHz Corsair CX 550W SMPS Deepcool case (most probably) The delay caused is due to unavailability of X370 motherboards in the market and...

Thanks so much! @atiamd I thought that onboard graphics should be enough to run my display if buy the AMD CPU. So 8700k or 8700, which would you suggest? As I do not overclock, should 8700 be my natural choice? I am sorry if I am bothering you, but sadly, it seems with age scepticism and...

Thanks again. Yes, you are right, I do not intend to OC unless it has become as easy as pushing few buttons/slider compared to earlier times. In case of Ryzen, is it mandatory to have at least an entry-level GPU? Do the boards not come with integrated Graphics? I tried to get the answer from...

@atiamd Here is the lowest quotation: AMD build: Ryzen 2600x - 15800/- x470 board Rog Strix Asus- 15000/- x470 Board from Gigabyte- 12200/- (not in stock, will be available by the end of this month) Intel Build: i7 8700k - 23200/- i7 8700 - 19300/- Z370 HD3P gigabyte - 11400/- Cooler for...

Exactly! Btw, @atiamd could you please suggest a good x470 ATX board for me?

From all those articles I read, opt for an x470 chipset if you are going for 2600.

Sure thing, will do that

Thanks a lot @atiamd You have cleared a lot of air. Tomorrow I am going to the market for the quotations. Though I have a feeling that the price difference between 2600 and 1600+cooler will be more than 10%. I have also decide to put the plan of purchasing a in the backburner for now and going...

Thanks a lot. It's great that now we both understand each other and I really appreciate you helping me from the beginig. When I was younger I use to take a lot of interest in the hardware front of computers and a bit of gaming too; but with age I am now more focussed on the productive use (from...

Both of those came with my first PC, a COMPAQ :) Yes, the mouse is a bottom ball, though I had purchased an optical mouse a few years later (have to check the brand, most probably iBall) which I am still using (nearly 8-10 years ) and still working perfectly. Though that is also a PS2 mouse
