GTX 980 + Ryzen 3600

[adityak469]

GTX 1650S new one costs 14k at times from small brands like Inno3D, PNY, etc. So 12k for used GTX 1060 6GB is too much, ok for a new one with full warranty though. Try to look for RX470/480/570/580 as well.

Yes I know, RX580 is also around 12k only, which is pushing my budget a lot.
I had to buy the 980 today only and hence I have bought it.
I will buy the remaining parts by next week and update here!
Thank you all for the feedback, I ended up with a brand new pc instead of an old one
Really happy

I had one question, after an year or two adding a rtx 3060 will be worth it, right?

Are you aiming for 1440p?

You seem like a budget gamer at first but then discuss about buying a potentially 30k GPU for it. RTX 3060 will likely have performance close to RTX 2070S & at 1080p that is a lot in a way (unless you consider poorly optimized games like CP 2077).

There will be a noticeable bottleneck at 1080p for i5 10400 + RTX 3060 in CPU heavy or high fps gaming but nothing too major IMO. Stuff will easily be playable.

Yeah

Okay thanks a lot!

That's a very big card!

i5 10400F 12.75k

16GB Corsair Vengeance RAM 5.7k

Gigabyte P550B 3.5k

AsRock H410M HDV/M.2 3.5k

AntEsports Ice 211 TG Cabinet 3.2k

I am confused, does the motherboard support nVme SSDs?

Will post pics soon

Great prices on CPU & mobo.

I hope you bought just 1x16GB stick. Add a 2nd 16GB stick later, 32GB is kind of overkill now but your mobo has just 2 RAM slots. For gaming 2 sticks (dual channel) provides benefits respectively of RAM capacity, so pend that extra 5k when you can. Add a 2nd front fan in the cabinet later, will help with case airflow, costs like 500 for ones with single colour RGB or just get some non-RGB one, 120 or 140mm.

Yes, it supports Gen3/PCIe 3.0 NVMe SSDs (latest is Gen4/PCIe 4.0 which is expensive as well). For NVMe, buy Kingston A2000 or WD SN550 500GB/1TB, they go on sale with card offers for under 5k & 8k respectively for 500GB & 1TB.

Yeah I got single 16GB stick only. Will get a NVMe SSD first then a RAM later on.

Currently my pc has been running from last night, trying to download Warzone and GTA 5 xD

Can anyone please suggest a good 5GHz wifi card? Have to use my phone for internet, which is really inconvenient.

 

[adityak469]

Also I'm getting Acer Nitro VG240Y for 14k. Is it a good buy?

 

[adityak469]

Any suggestions?

DLink & TPLink are good brands. Their USB dongles should suffice if you have your router nearby.

Yes, I'm using it. I think compify.in was selling it for 13k. Or just wait for amazon/flipkart sales which starts on 19th. You can get the 10% off card offer for up to 1.5k off maybe. Make sure you buy Acer VG240YP as it has a variant with 75Hz panel as well which is inferior & sells for 10k. VG240YP has a DP, so can use g-sync (search about it).

The USB ones would give high ping thought, right?

2.4GHz has noticeably high pings vs wired in general (i mean, you can see it in speed tests). I found 5GHz to be good for even gaming but I have never used 5GHz USB dongle. If you want something good, there's a PCIe WiFi adapter by TP Link with 2 antennae.

USB dongles don't have good receivers in general, so need WiFi in close promixity. Just use wired if you can IMO.

Yeah I've been thinking about it but bring a wire from the living room to mine would not really be possible without it being very disruptive.
I have an extra 2.4Ghz router, can I put it to some use?
