I am getting confused with ram
Corsair vengeance red is 3200mhz
Blue is somewhere 3000 somewhere 3200.
White is 3000 as well.

Which ram is best for ryzen 1700 in India.
Please give me a link to the product.
And I read that I will have to tinker in the bios to get 3200 otherwise it will default to 2133 mhz.

Is that the case please explain.

Thanks
Aby

Wd black 2TB for 12k ? double the price? 5400 vs 7200 isn't that big of difference to pay double the price .. i think most of extra money is for extra 2 years warranty...

rough estimate in performance..

UserBenchmark: WD Black (2016) vs Blue (2015)

if performance is needed with more capacity , buying 500GB SSD instead of 256 gb would be much better than buying wd black .. you get 5 year warranty here as well.. unless ofcourse 500 gb is also less for files and programs where performance is critical .. though keep in mind RAM and SSD are wayy overpriced right now due to supply shortage ,

so if you want to save more money , you can buy only what you need now , and add more RAM and SSD next year when there is ample supply and they are cheap..

if you don't want to go with seagate then..

isn't 7200 RPM also available in WD blue in 1 TB capacity for 3.3k ? though 2 year warranty only..

Thanks sunil,

What color led is that ram unit white or red please give me a link to the particular kit with model number.
And how to run the ram at 3000 as it would run at default 2133.

Should I go for 1tb hard drive and 500gb ssd?
Is there a decent drive above 2tb that can be bought in 11k?

I think you are quite confused about HDD performance.What exactly you need this HDD for?On one hand you say this:
Mechanical keyboards come in 1-2k ?
Anything over that for keyboard and my boss will kamehameha me.
On the other hand you are willing to spend 12k on a 2TB hdd.So what exactly your budget is & what exactly your hdd size requirement is.Of course if you have the money to spend then buy whichever is the costliest option within same size hdd class.

Again same thing with monitor.I have no experience with video rendering workstation but is a 21:9 monitor good for such type of task.If yes then I don't think there are many other options in this screen ratio & budget assuming this is the 32" you are talking about:

Yes, I am trying to understand how performance and HDD capacity correlate.
Willing to spend 12k well I was trying to clarify what more does the 12k WD GOLD offer me over 10.5K WD BLACK.

I even asked if Seagate iron wolf 2tb with 3yr warranty would be a good choice.
Now when I found 3tb drives at around 8k I wanted to make sure they were reliable.

As for the monitor, I am a little concerned that 32" might be too big.
And I need professional 100% SRGB color gamut.

Reliability has no relation with hdd price or model,if you think your work is important than you need to have a backup no matter what the cost of hdd you are using.WD Gold can be considered as an advanced version of WD Black & advertised as suitable for Datacentres.I say buy seagate iron wolf 2TB & with remaining money buy a normal WD Blue 2TB/Seagate Barracuda 2TB & use that as backup hdd.

*www.amazon.in/LG-25UM58-P-25-Inch-...es=desktop&ref_=psdc_1375425031_t3_B01BGI6GZC

any reason to not go for the ultrawide one?

3) and if asus x370 pro is not avbl which gigabyte 370 will be a good second option?

2TB WD Blue is 5400rpm costs around 5500 while Seagare Barracuda 2TB is 7200rpm & costs almost same(in fact a little cheaper than WD) & both comes with 2 years warranty.Ironwolf 2TB costs 6500 & comes with 3 years warranty & is a better overall drive as it is advertised as NAS drive.Unless you strongly believe in WD drives or really want to save 1000,I see no point in choosing 2TB Blue over 2TB Ironwolf.

Get WD Black which is a proven series.WD Gold is advertised as Datacentre HDD & you are not running a datacentre so its feature of selling is not applicable to you so why spend extra 1000 on it not to mention its a completely new series with no track record.

hi all
SMC responded with more prices today, have a look and let me know if something is amiss.
He said CORSAIR RM 650X would take 10 more days and only then can he tell me the cost.
For WD black 1tb he said company tells him 3 years warranty but its possible theres a different model with 5 yr warranty or its online warranty.
Spec alpha is expensive i think ill go with cm 590 III only.

which monitor should i go for as there is only 700 rs difference?

I hope this helps other people planning to build a rig as well.

thanks
aby

That's the thing, there are no reliable cooler master PSUs. Don't consider them for your config. Get the seasonic S12II 620W if you can't find corsair RM series PSUs.

your options are limited in PSU .. avoid Seasonic S12II , M12II as they are older design and discontinued products , with No Over current protection on minor rails and No over temperature protection , and may create problems with RMA.. Seasonic S12G has those protections but again they may create problems with RMA..

Tirupati Seasonic Rma Help.

you should be able to get RM X easily if you search a few shops .. cost to cost has it , make sure it is X version that has 10 year warranty

*www.costtocost.in/list/pricelist.pdf

you will not get it at SMC because they stock mostly Cooler master products and MSI
buy it online if it is not available , but first search offline as you will get it cheaper
