Hello ..
after a decade long wait.. i am ready to assemble my second PC. Till now i am using C2D with 8gb and 460gtx .. i think its about time i give myself a nice little gift. But before that keep in mind i want cannibalize few hardware from my old pc which are running perfectly fine to keep the cost down obviously.. they are -
1. What is the purpose of the computer? What all applications and games are you going to run? (Stupid answers like 'gaming' or 'office work' will not work. Be exact. Which games? Which applications? Avoid the word 'et cetera.')
Ans: Editing, Photoshop, Premier, Sound editing, Lightroom and casual gaming , online gaming - at mid to high settings
2. What is your overall budget? If you can extend a bit for a more balanced configuration, then mention this too.
Ans: Around 40,000 only cpu
3. Planning to overclock?
Ans: Nope
4. Which Operating System are you planning to use?
Ans: win 10
5. How much hard drive space is needed?
Ans: Already have 2tb .
6. Do you want to buy a monitor? If yes, please mention which screen size and resolution do you want. If you already have a monitor and want to reuse it, again mention the size and resolution of monitor you have.
Ans: No , I already have a 22" fhd monitor
7. Which components you DON'T want to buy or which components you already have and plan on reusing?
Ans: Seasonic S12 520W which is less than 2 years old,
Monitor
460 Gtx oc' edition, not much i know i will change next year.
8. When are you planning to buy the system?
Ans: This month only
9. Have you ever built a desktop before or will this be done by an assembler?
Ans: Yes i assembled 2 pc years back
10. Where do you live? Are you buying locally? Are you open to buying stuff from online shops if you don't get locally?
Ans: Delhi, open to Online retailers too.
11. Anything else which you would like to say?
Ans: Planning to use it for the next 5 years , so it should be future proof without breaking sweat.
==========================
So after visiting zillion forums.. reddit.. i decided with my planned build
Ryzen 2600x
MSI B450 Tomahawk/Carbon Pro
Ram - 8gb single stick (for now )
Cabinet - Phanteks P300/S340 Elite NZXT
=======
But i still have few doubts and want to be absolutely sure before investing on it ..
Q.1) Will it be worth going for 2600 rather than 2600x, with 300mhz extra boost speed is it worth the money ? which cost around 3K more here. and yes i will not going be OC or stream.
Q.2) Can i overclock ram without touching or tinkering with CPU ?
Q.3) XMP support have to be present on both motherboards and ram or all kinds of ram supports xmp above 2400mhz ?
Q.3) What is best ram speed for ryzen.. ?
Q.4) Will it better to switch to X470 motherboard for Ryzen 2600x ? if yes suggest me some good boards under 13k .
Please advice my lords !!
