Hes quoting me -
Ryzen 1600
16gb ram
cm lite r5gb
b350 chipset
650watt
geforce gtx 3gb 10060
keyboard mouse
500ssd
+ 3 year warranty+ easy rma? + overclock etc including in brag,
82k good deal? or should i make my own custom build?

Also pls can you mention other good computer shops.

Forget about good and consistent framerates for the quoted build. Custom build is always better at this budget. 512GB ssd is overkill. Settle with a 120-256 GB one and use the budget saved on a 1060 6 GB or 1070. Lite 5 has poor airflow (+ not good enough build). That "650W" might end up frying your system (give complete details here).

G

forget that build , if you can wait 2 months please wait for the cheaper 8th gen B360 motherboards/2nd gen ryzen processors to launch first..

Budget -78.8K

AMD Ryzen R5 1500X -14500,
Asus Prime B350-Plus 8000,

G.Skill Ripjaws V 8GB DDR4 3000MHz -6,500

Zotac GTX 1060 6GB Mini -21000,

Samsung 750 EVO 120GB -4000,

Seasonic M12II 520w EVO -5500,

Antec P8 Transparent Side Panel -4000,

WD Caviar Blue 1 TB -3500,

LG 22MP68VQ-P 22” LED IPS -8800,

Cooler Master Devastator 3 Gaming Combo -3000.
Total -78,800.

WTF is wrong with people recently going for super expensive show offy builds and completely disregarding the two main performance hitters, CPU and GPU.
If you want a no compromise rig, secure yourself a 1070 and a R5 1600 and then accomodate on other components.

wth is this "brag pc"anyway?Never heard of this brand/company before.

Suggestion to op:Stay away from it.

1600 is a 6 core 12 thread cpu as opposed to 1500x which has 4 cores and 8 threads.1600x is merely a higher clocked version of the base 1600 cpu.If you can afford it,its advisable to purchase the 1600/1600x as it will make your rig relatively more future-proof as games start becoming more demanding.

No, you didn't get my point. Store OS and all your necessary programs on the SSD and all media on HDD. Let me check for the best possible config in your budget.

@SaiyanGoku reviews on major tech sites & forums suggest that 60/64/120GB SSD are not really worth buying as manufacturers are focusing on 250GB & above ssd market as it is the one that gets them major revenue in retail market(aka developed nations markets). Because of this there is quite a performance hit when going below 250/256GB ssd even with same brand.Unless one is absolutely budget restricted,minimum one should get is Samsung 750Evo 250GB.

@bssunilreddy where exactly are you getting 120GB 750EVO for 4k?as far as i know no "reputable site/seller" is even having a stock of these 120gb samsung SSDs.

G

^ evo 750 120gb was discontinued by samsung and replaced by this 850 120gb.. not sure about india availability

The Samsung SSD 850 120GB Review: A Little TLC for SATA..

Major benefit of 850 evo 256 gb apart from storage capacity and speed is longer warranty of 5 years ..

Bro , get the 250gb Ssd Samsung 850 evo + 1 Tb WD blue one is best & suitable option for now.
Don't get 16gb ram becoz ram prices too high , get 8 gb now and add 8gb later at same model.
Ryzen 1600 is good choice.

samsung 850 9k is it a good deal on amazon lighting? in laminton road they quoted me 7500 for samsung 250 gb ssd. not sure if it was 750 or 850

Xamanus said:

Man, wait for B360 and H310 mobos. I won't recommend ryzen because you will be using it for purely gaming.

the 9k amazon SSD is 850 PRO , which has extremely long warranty of 10 years.. whereas 7k SSD is 850 EVO with 5 years warranty..

performance difference between both not that much.. 850 Evo 256gb is fine , spend the rest amount in 1tb HDD and wait till feb/march

Approx release date for the mobos? i already delayed couple of months and now urgent need of a second computer.

This computer will be mainly for work - high frequency trading. ( a gaming pc is more then sufficient for this ) in between sometimes for gaming / weekend gaming.

for a pc that is intended primarily for conducting business/office related operations,using a ryzen processor will be a gross overkill-something like a pentium g4560/4600 would have been more suitable and cost effective in this case.

I do game and when i do i want top notch performance.

Could you guys pls recommend me a setup, I wanna buy it today

If you can afford a few days/weeks then wait for things to clear:
Meltdown and Spectre: ‘worst ever’ CPU bugs affect virtually all computers

For top notch performance, go with Intel setup, preferably Core i5 8400.
and SSD of 250GB size is more than enough.

Focus on this order to get the best components :
1. GPU
2. RAM
3. CPU
4. SSD
5. Motherboard

Buy 8GB of RAM now and try to get GTX 1070 standard version.

Brag PC is a gaming build sold by PrimeABGB.

@Zangetsu did you saw the link above regarding Meltdown & Spectre,it is better to not blindly go with intel systems as of now.

Meltdown and Spectre Fixes Arrive—But Don't Solve Everything

Yeah but what that article didn't mention is that even full software patching requires cooperation from hardware manufacturers(aka mobos & processors).Forget about getting microcode updates from intel for anything older than 3rd/4th gen desktop processors.Also forget about bios updates for mobos launched 1-2 years ago especially the low end/budget models & certainly forget about laptops getting bios/cpu updates for anything older than a year models.Even if one buy latest intel hardware system it is still not enough unless cpu microcode update & bios update(depends on mobo manufacturer) is applied along with software patches released by MS & even after that it guarantees meltdown mitigation only with a certain performance impact depending on workload type.It is better to go with amd system(unless absolutely budget restricted) because amd processors are not affected by meltdown whose fixes cause more performance hit & even against spectre they are not as vulnerable as intel.

You're paying more by buying from amazon on some items like SSD, CPU and PSU. Try to get RM650x instead of CXM 650

PC parts picker wont list actual prices.
Get ASUS B350 Pro Plus, Reduce the mem to 8 GB for now, upgrade later. Get an 850 EVO instead, NVME for now doesnt offer any massive benefits for the price you are paying. Only content creators benefit from it as of now. Get a 1070 mini/1080mini from Zotac. Also Antec VP650PM is more than enough, a 550 watt good PSU is enough
Dont spend so much on RAM now, you can always upgrade later when prices are down.
Im running at 8GB ram on my system,(also Ryzen 5 1600, GTX 1080).
In most games you will never notice the difference, only in dark souls 3 with stuff running in the background do I experience stuttering.
Upgrade RAM when its back to sane prices.
Good GPU brands : ASUS, Zotac, MSI, Gigabyte (for Nvidia)

U want a good looking cabinet that doesnt break the bank, try thermaltake versa c23, bewary though looks may cost you temperatures

G

No to corsair CXM , also increase your budget slightly from Antec VP and go for Corsair TX 550M or 650M for Rs 5700/6400 ...

Stick to Gigabyte or Asus for Good after sales services

W

Stick with Asus or Zotac(may also consider MSI or Gigabyte) for nvidia graphics card.
