Thank you, @omega44-xt PC is rebuilt using Core i5 10400, Gigabyte B560M DS3H AC, ADATA XPG Gammix D30 Series 8GB * 2
XMP is enabled.
Thanks once again.
Thank you, @omega44-xt . Will go with i5.
Will GIGABYTE B460M DS3H be OK? Also Corsair Vengeance LPX 8GB DDR4 3200MHZ C16
I hope these are Win 11 compatible.
How about this?
AMD Ryzen 5 3400G
Asus EX-A320M
2x8GB DDR4 3200MHz
I already have Corsair VS450 PSU, Cooler Master cabinet, Samsung Evo 870 500GB SSD, Kbd/mouse, Dell monitor.
Had a PC with AMD 3.5 GHz AMD Phenom II x4 970 Processor and ASUS M5A88-M Motherboard, which is dead. MoBo is gone and no replacement available. If you can suggest a replacement mobo, well and good.
1. What is the purpose of the computer? What all applications and games are you going to run...
I have an old PC with ASUS M5A88-M motherboard, AMD Phenom(tm) II X4 970 Processor and 8GB Memory. Wanted to give a fresh life with a decent graphic card within a budget of 3-4K. Any suggestions?
I didn't get this point. With mirroring, data is intact and same on both drives in case of a MB failure, right? Can't we use either of the drives in such cases?
I have the following config.
AMD 3.5 GHz AM3 Phenom II 970
ASUS M5A88-M Motherboard
Seagate Barracuda 1 TB HDD
I plan to add another HDD for data mirroring. Will I be able to do without disturbing the current configuration? How risky it is?
Any help is highly appreciated.
Re: AMD alternative
If you plan to upgrade the processor later, then this combo with FM1 socket won't be a good idea. New processors from AMD is based on AM3+
Can you suggest a good 2.0 desktop speakers for my new desktop? I am looking for music quality, rather than loudness. Preferably a powered speaker with 3.5 pin.
Budget - 1000, can be stretched to 1500 max.
I too had the same doubt. Based on the suggestions from various forums, I decided have it blow the air out- to the bottom. I think it makes sense, we wouldnt want to blow the hot air to the motherboard.
Thank you everyone for your advises. Finally system is built with the following configuration:
1 ASUS M5A88-M Motherboard
2 AMD 3.5 GHz AM3 Phenom II 970 Processor
3 Seagate Barracuda 1 TB HDD Internal Hard Drive (ST1000DM003)
4 Dell IN2030 20" LED
5 Corsair Value RAM 4GB
6 Cooler...
That will be done later, may be after a year. Does it make sense to set a budget now?
If you are looking for a model and its size, I am interested in a 6770 as of today (eg MSI AMD/ATI R6770-MD1GD5 1 GB GDDR5)
The final config, for both of us. Decided not to go with APU.
Bought the following stuff.
ASUS M5A88-M Motherboard
AMD 3.5 GHz AMD Phenom II x4 970 Processor
Seagate Barracuda 1 TB HDD Internal Hard Drive (ST1000DM003)
Corsair 4 GB RAM (CMV4GX3M1A1333C9) x 2
Corsair VS-450
ASUS DVD Writer...
