Hello

I am going to purchase my second build soon. Will sell my processor, ram and motherboard. Will keep everything else.

I will be buying a new processor, ram and motherboard. Problem is i do not know how to install a motherboard into a cabinet. I live in bangalore. The way i see it, i have two options.

  1. Order the new components, put exisitng build for sale, call a guy from urbanclap to come and assemble it.

  2. Put existing build for sale, Send my existing CPU to ankit infotech (that is where i bought my current build and will buy new components from), ask them to put ram, processor and motherboard into the cabinet, get cabinet with new components.

I do not want to buy a new cabinet and CPU cooler. [This](’

)is my cabinet, and [this](’

) is my cpu cooler. I have an Intel 11400f LGA1200, and will go for AM5 processor.

I might go for a LCD cpu cooler but only if it is under 10K.

is this line of thinking correct? Any ideas would be appreciated, thanks.

Thank you

There are plenty of [PC build guide](’

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s1fxZ-VWs2U’

)s on YouTube which you can consult to help you assemble your new PC yourself.

But if you’re really uncomfortable doing that, option no. 2 from your list is prolly the best choice since Ankit is a known name at least and also you have dealt with them before, so there’s a little more trust than some rando off UrbanClap.

Buddy
Usually I call Just Dial number -88888-88888 & tell them the area. Then ask for door step PC repair service & choose from the cheapest & more rated guy & the nearest centre also.
While I was in Hyderabad or now in Anupuram, TN I followed the same and got myself a best PC door step technician who is very patient and no nonsense guy but does the assembling or disassembling the components with ease.
1st of all call the above number,
2nd Tell them the area and you need PC door step services
3rd Either you call from a bunch of number you received after the 2nd step or they will call you one by one
4th Choose the one with good ratings and ask for how much is he going to come to house for assembling and bargain with the rate.
Okay.

What about Urbanclap? i see that there are some highly rated technicians there

No never use urban clap technicians at all. They will damage the PC parts while installing and they will subsequently ask for higher amount for any replacement. Just check the reviews about urban clap in Linkedin once. There are horror stories right from urban claps CC to technicians who ever comes. If anybody comes for service and anything goes wrong they will send another technician and delete the chat history of the 1st technician to cover their tracks. So beware.
You give me your pincode and I will search via just dial and give you the best cheapest technician phone number. Okay.

Ok thanks for letting me know. But I think I’ll go with Ankit infotech. Much more reliable

Does AMD Crossfire or Nvidia SLI still work?

Wait, Urbanclap offers PC building as a service? o_O

It does

Don’t consider a 27k B850 when you can get X870 for cheap or even X870E very close to that price. Can check Super Computer in SP Road for prices & models available as well.

800 series mobo should be able to handle 6400MHz RAM w/o issues but do read online. I hope you already know that 4x RAM sticks have trouble maintaining high frequency.

Glass front cabinet with 240mm cheap AIO is not good for keep CPU & GPU cool. IMO replace cabinet, Lian Li 216 should be good enough.

I won’t trust UC guys with my i5 12400 + 7900GRE build, forget such expensive components. Better to talk to Ankit Infotech / SCL, pay them 500-1000 for cleaning + installing new components (they might do it for free if you buy parts from them).
