After waiting and saving for so long, i am finally building PC for the first time, i have searched a lot and came up with this
1. AMD Ryzen 5 5600 (non X)
2. Asus Dual Radeon RX 6700 XT 12GB - looking to buy this as a new 6700xt is better than a new 3060Ti, talking about new as i'll be buying this only on EMI from MDcomputers, i could buy used GPU on here but i don't suppose people here do EMIs. Now, if you have any recommendation for other company apart from ASUS like Powercolor, Sapphire or ASRock from any other online retailer that could do EMI, please suggest. going for asus only by brand value and look of GPU
3. Asrock B550M Pro4 or B550 Pro4 - (whichever i can find), or looking at ASRock B450/M Pro4 if i cannot find 550, I've also posted here as looking to buy, i am fixed on this. (but still, what are your thoughts?)
4. Adata XPG Gammix D30 8GB 3200MHz (x2) - looking for cheapest and stable 3200Mhz C16 not interested in RGB, have any recommendations? (i found G-Skill Ripjaws, Corsair Vengeance LPX, Teamgroup Vulcan)
5. DeepCool PM650D - this was something i found to be good, but totally welcome recommendation, what i am looking for is a stable and long lasting PSU that will protect my components even if that means spending 4-5k (not above that though) and i think 650W should suffice for my setup.
6. Ant esports 511MT - again, just found it to be good searching online, but totally up for suggestion. wanted to for front mash case that comes with (4) fans as well, hence saw this, also, the mobo would fit in this right? it gets hot here in summers.
7. Gigabyte G24F - all the reviews i've seen about this says it is best monitor in this price class, other was the Acer Nitro, what are your thoughts?
8. Cooler - Hyper 212, online i found to be a good budget air cooler, which i will upgrade later from stock cooler when GPU EMI are finished in summers.
9. Storage - i already have 2 250GB M.2 SSD that i can make use of (hence my main motive to go for a mobo with 2 M.2 Slots), until i buy a crucial 1TB p2/p3 m.2 or 2TB HDD for storage in next month or two, i'll keep 1 250GB as boot drive.
Thank you if you have read this far. i would absolutely require and appreciate any help you can give here.
now some misc queries i have.
i made all this using reddit+online_search+pcpricetracker site
how trustworthy are all the retailers on pcpricetracker?
it is my first build, and i've literally saved for so long, hence i am a bit nervous and want to make absolute best decision regarding this and get best value for money, don't want to regret any decision later on whether due to quality or price
i've only done online research till now, yet to visit Nehru Place for offline search and quotations. people who have seen or already did that, what are your thoughts? i have no bias for offline or online, i only want where i can get cheaper, but offline does have the advantage of seeing the product before buying, so don't have to get into issues of returning or things like that.
if any TE member have any sources/deals for any parts mentioned here, feel free to PM me.
i will be active on this post and hearing an taking into account each and every word of advice. please help!!!
