Gaming PC (Ryzen) Specs Advice Needed

[billubakra]

Did you talk to them before depositing the money? What are they saying ? Are they saying they will stock it within couple of days? What's their stand?

The PSU is not bad but a 600W PSU is way overkill for your rig.

Yes I called them yesterday evening. They have no idea about restocking due to GST. Then which PSU do you suggest?

Get the FreeSync monitor anyway, even though you might not be using it.

MDComputers will ship you when they get the GPU in stock.

I was thinking if I am not going to be able to use the Freesync feature then why not get some non-freesync model and save some money. What will be the point of getting one if it cannot be used?
They have no idea about the stock availability now.

no don't buy that model ..

, buy it from here

Seasonic S12II-520 S12II Series 520W Power Supply with 80+ Bronze Certification

And these are not in stock because they have been discontinued and will be replaced by newer models in next few months...

The link that you have shared is selling the same at a very high cost. Is there any other alternative for Seasonic which is easily available everywhere?

Get any 500-550W PSU that is available to you that is in the tier1-3 in the list I've provided. If nothing else is available get the Antec one that you've shared.

Freesync is non-proprietary and free to use, so usually freesync monitors are not priced at premium. The point of getting one as I've stated already is future GPU upgrades. If you are going to stick with Nvidia forever, and if you have found a non-freesync monitor where you'll be saving money get that one.

Actually I wasn't able to find those tier one's specifically anywhere that is why I had to ask this question again and again. Will wait for seniors to comment. Is that Antec one bronze certified?

If I upgrade the gpu say after 2-4 years, then I am pretty sure that there will be a new xyzsync technology available along with 6k or 7k. So, that is why I am not inclined towards freesync since the freesync version will never be used.

@ico @Digital Fragger
I had a word with the customer support of almost every computer peripheral store mentioned here. They said that every product will be OOS within the next 24 hours due to GST and that I need to order soon. Please give me a final model for PSU and monitor.

well if you can see the future, then go with your instinct.
What I'm trying to say is freesync adds nothing to monitor cost. Non-freesync monitors with same specifications should be at same cost as the freesync ones. I'd suggest you to get the freesync monitor unless there is any good monitor with same specs that you want at much cheaper cost.

Ah, okay Freesync it is then. Please help me with the PSU so that I am done with the parts and move to assembling.

I was about to purchase the LG monitor but got a mail from MD computers that they are still looking for the gfx which I ordered and they recommended me this monitor
SAMSUNG LS22F355FHWXXL - 21.5 INCH AMD FREESYNC GAMING MONITOR (5Ms RESPONSE TIME, 60Hz REFRESH RATE, FHD TN PANEL)
The difference in LG one and this is that LG is 22", Freesync with 2 year warranty whereas this one is 21.5", non-Freesync with 3 year warranty. IDK whether this matters or not 5Ms RESPONSE TIME, 60Hz REFRESH RATE, FHD TN PANEL. The price difference between the two is Rs. 900/- Should I stick with LG?
Anything regarding the PSU?

The samsung one you have linked is freesync, it it says in the title. But it is TN panel. I'd get the IPS panel at this price. I'd suggest stick with LG model or find an equivalent model in other brands.

That is some shady marketing if true. Not sure about PSU. Did you try listing all the PSUs they have in stock and comparing against the tier list? I can't recommend a specific model as I'm no PSU expert.

Get the LG monitor (22MP68VQ-P). Has 99% sRGB coverage and IPS panel, meaning good colour reproduction and viewing angles. I haven't seen a TN panel in this budget (or any price for that matter) which can do the same.

 

[gta5]

no do not buy VP600P ..

there is an alternative to seasonic quality wise but there are not many reviews for it.. and i don't think its worth the risk to save rs 600 for that... when seasonic is available

you can pick Antec vp550p v2 at 4k ( Vp550p and vp600p are different .. so only get vp550p ) . this will last you 5 years ... with 2 year warranty only.. buy this offline as in case of warranty you might have to return it to seller..

or you can pick seasonic S12Ii 520 at 6k this will last you 8-9 years and has a 5 year warranty ...

I would still recommend to extend your budget and get this at 6k .. much more bang for your buck for long term ..

you will be fine with seasonic S12II 430 watt at Rs 4750 with 1060 but if you upgrade to a power hungry card + CPU in future it may be underpowered as it only has 360w on 12v rail..

and overclockerszone is the official distributor of seasonic and they only handle the RMA ..

From Tier 1 & 2 I wasn't able to find any model anywhere or maybe I was looking at the wrong place IDK. Only PSU remains now.

Get the LG monitor (22MP68VQ-P). Has 99% sRGB coverage and IPS panel, meaning good colour reproduction and viewing angles. I haven't seen a TN panel in this budget (or any price for that matter) which can do the same.

Thanks Goku. Ordered the LG one but this one 22MP68VQ not this 22MP68VQ-P, hope they are the same. Anything about the PSU?

The shops in my city do not have Seasonic or Antec they have korolla or something that kinda model. Is this the one that you are talking about-
ANTEC SMPS VP550P V2 - 550 WATT 80 PLUS CERTIFICATION PSU WITH ACTIVE PFC
This is not v2 I think
Amazon.in: Buy Antec VP550P 550 Watts PSU Online at Low Prices in India | Antec Reviews & Ratings

Anyways sent mail to OCZ regarding COD. I guess I will have to buy the overpriced, not manufactured anymore Seasonic S12II-520w PSU. As per MD computers its price is 4500 but it has been discontinued since one month.

 

[Digital Fragger]

I don't know where you are able to buy Seasonic S12II 520W for 4.5k. It's been atleast 5.5k since long time if i remember correctly and I've bought it for 5.6k or so recently. It is costlier by few hundred rupees right now and may be discontinued but it a PSU, not any technology that will become obsolete in couple of years. There is a reason why people recommend seasonic in every forum all over the world, not just digit or in India. I didn't want to take chances with the costly equipment for few hundred rupees.

 

[SaiyanGoku]

Thanks Goku. Ordered the LG one but this one 22MP68VQ not this 22MP68VQ-P, hope they are the same.

NO!!

 

[gta5]

yes these are discontinued models .. new models will most likely come after 2 months or so..

Rs 4500 price is of 430 watt model .. Rs 5500 is the correct price for 520 .. so you are paying 500-600 extra.. a few days ago it was available for 5400 with eBay coupon ..

you will get Vp550p v2 version only as v1 was discontinued 2 years ago .. just make sure you get vp550p only and not VP600P or VP500PC

vp550p at 4k is also ok if you are tight on budget.. only prob is it only has 2 year warranty..
and you will be replacing it after 5 years

S12II 430 and 520 have 5 year warranty... and won't be replacing for 8-9 years

but still if you can push your budget for seasonic S12II 520 ... if not then pick seasonic 430 .. in future if you upgrade to power hungry components you can use this PSU in some other PC or sell it off..

 

[billubakra]

NO!!

What is the difference between LG 22MP68VQ (Amazon.in: Buy LG 22MP68VQ 22" Full HD IPS SLIM LED MONITOR (1920x1080) Online at Low Prices in India | LG Reviews & Ratings) & LG 22MP68VQ-P(LG 22MP68VQ-P - 22 INCH 99% sRGB AMD FREESYNC GAMING MONITOR (5Ms RESPONSE TIME, FHD IPS PANEL)
I ordered the latter one as I had some gc.

S12II 430 and 520 have 5 year warranty...

I will look for the S12II520 one on other sites, if not available then order the one that you have mentioned. Really disappointed with the marked up prices.

AFAIK, LG 22MP68VQ-P is the one listed on LG India's site, not the LG 22MP68VQ model.
