Hi There.. Sharing an update to my last post.. Finally the update happened.. phew!!,, in september Here's what the upgraded configuration looks like (all from Vedant Computers - total cost ~ 61 K ) : CPU : AMD Ryzen 7 7700 MOBO : MSI B650 Tomahawk WIFI RAM : 32 GB GSKILL Z5 Neo...

I had a strange experience with Amazon last month. Had ordered for Samsung 990 Pro. The box was of 990 Pro, but the SSD inside was 980 Pro. Thankfully Amazon accepted a return.. I think there is a separate link in this forum regarding to "Amazon related Shocks"!!.. :)

I just checked out Vedant computers, much better pricing than Amazon. I hope it stays that way till the end of the month when 9000 series is formally launched... otherwise, this "waiting" will hurt!!..:hungover:

The biggest challenge in building a PC is the "wait".. :banghead:.. You are correct, though!! I will check out the Mobos.. Thanks!!.. Had a pretty bad experience with Gigabyte board earlier..

Many thanks @Tracer_Bullet I have no budget left for an extra CPU cooler. Thus I would have to stick to the non-x versions. Will try to go ahead with 7700 so that I can have a little bit of headroom for any future use... I am a bit into Sound Mixing and a bit into Flight simulation games.

Great Info!.. the mentioned power ratings are way over 100.. so I was having second thoughts (multiple thoughts actually,,.. :D). let me see if I can manage the budget. I will go for the 6000 MHz RAM; thanks. will the one mentioned below do? it is CL36, though. Corsair Vengeance 32GB (16GBX2)...

Thanks for your prompt response. I am reluctant to go for a higher CPU since it seems to be a overkill for my uses. Additionally, with my rudimentary knowledge, it seems that these CPUs are very power hungry. On the other hand, I don't want to go down to a Ryzen 5 and lose out on the...

Hola Again!.. the PC upgrade did not take place last year.. :bag: Reviving the thread to get your opinion on the following CPU/ Mobo combo. Will buy during Prime day sale on Amazon. CPU : AMD 7000 Series Ryzen 7 7700 Desktop Processor 8 cores 16 Threads 40 MB Cache 3.8 GHz Upto 5.3 GHz AM5...

Thanks a lot for your 2 cents!!:happy: I agree that AM4 is the best way ahead right now... Although I am mighty tempted with the new architecture, I am not going to really need those features. No use getting greedy.. :hungover:. I hope the AM4 lasts me for 4 years, at least. Thanks to AM5, the...

Dang!... I think I am the only one replying to my own post!! :banghead::banghead:

Update : The Mobo is beyond repair as per the service guy. I have below options : 1. Buy a new B150 MOBO (if available for around 4-5K) and try to push the system for an year or two more 2.a. Move to a new Rig with an AMD 5600X and B550 mobo. Retain everything else from the old RIG. I hope...

Hey there... I thought of resurrecting this thread, as my MOBO is on her last legs.. I normally build a new PC after 5-6 years. the last build was in late 2016. I would like to go for AMD. I am highly tempted to go for the new AM5 CPU/ MOBO/ DDR5 RAM, instead of the well established AM4. The...

Thanks. :) I know Pixel 7 series is well above budget. However, please let me know if these ones work. I will be exchanging OnePlus 6T and that should boost my budget a bit. My sims are from Jio and Airtel.

Hi There Need your advice on Dual Active sim phones. I get too many phone calls during office hours and dual standby SIM is a challenge as one SIM gets deactivated during usage of the other sim. I had tried to use call forwarding; but it doesn't work sometimes. I am not looking to break my bank...

Thanks for all your responses. The situation arises to a new question from my side... Is it worth it to wait when 6 GHz will be freed up for personal use by Indian authorities or "normal" wifi 6 is good enough?
