♱Tova 332 Posted November 14, 2020 I need a new pc and thinking about buying this https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B08FSXT6D4/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=A3DWYIK6Y9EEQB&th=1 - this is cheaper than building one myself with those specs IN CANADA I checked - the motherboard and power supply are decent; i.e they aren't the bad ones because pre-built usually have shit motherboards and risky power supply should i wait and spend a little more to get the new AMD gpus and cpus just launched/launching?

If you want to get yourself the; Radeon 5700 XT -- $400~ Ryzen 5 3600 -- $150~ 1TB SSD (Samsung) - $100~ Power supply at least 600 Watts - $50 - $100 Mother board just get anything that supports Ryzen 3rd series - $100 - $150 16 GB RAM DDR4 or you can get the minimum which is 8GB at least the standard. (Depending on which MHZ for the RAM) $80 - $160 One you're saving a bit money.. You could buy the Windows on other key selling ($25) uhhh and you would just have to build it.. get a Case, mouse, keyboard, monitor and you set Edited November 14, 2020 by Mau Share this post Link to post

These prices are in canadian dollars the total for building comes out to not including windows 10 : mail-in rebates aren't actually counted so its 1563 CAD for building my own which doesn't include tax or shipping cost for the items -> compared to the 1559 CAD pre-built on amazon where shipping is free and I don't get any taxes on it (literally no tax, can't explain). thoughts on this?

I mean what are you going to be using your computer for? lol Buying the new and recent stuff doesn't always mean you'll get the best optimized or best performance Like you could get away with buying the B450 Tomahawk And a different ATX sized case Edited November 17, 2020 by Mau Share this post Link to post

Just have at least minimum 16gigs of RAM maybe get it at 3200ghz SSD is a must. With a hard drive for storage and well GPU it all depends, I render videos of 15minutes average @ 8mins and I have a Radeon RX 5700 XT Share this post Link to post

Is it worth waiting a month or two for stock to replenish + 200 more CAD dollars OR just get a 3000 series CPU right now? Share this post Link to post
