U

Hi All,

Need you help and expert advise to decide on my next built.

1. What is the purpose of the computer? What all applications and games are you going to run? (Be exact. Which games? Which applications? Avoid the word 'et cetera.' Vague answers like 'gaming' or 'office work' will not work.)
Ans: Editing Very hi res images, Photoshop, light video editing No GAMING

2. What is your overall budget? If you can extend a bit for a more balanced configuration, then please mention.
Ans: 60K

3. Planning to overclock?
Ans: No

4. Which Operating System are you planning to use?
Ans: Windows

5. How much hard drive / solid-state drive space is needed?
Ans: HDD- None, SSD - 250/500Gb

6. Do you want to buy a monitor? If yes, please mention the screen size and resolution you prefer. If you already have a monitor and want to reuse it, then do mention the screen size and resolution of the monitor you have.
Ans: No, Already have a 24" full HD

7. Which components you DON'T want to buy? i.e. which components you already have and plan on reusing?
Ans: Monitor, Hard Disc, Also have a Corsair VX 450 power supply which I would like to use if possible/recommended.

8. When are you planning to buy the system?
Ans: Within a month if prices have not increased too much due to ongoing situation.

9. Have you ever built a desktop before? Or, will this be done by an assembler?
Ans: Assembler.

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: Pune, can buy online as well.

11. Anything else which you would like to say?

Thank you all.

Cheers,
Praveen

Entire system is dependent on the PSU and it's not wise to use that old PSU for your new components.

It was the old price but now it is increased & also availability is an issue.

Refer this list before recommending psu: [psucultists] PSU Tier List
antec neo eco M(NE-M) is in tier C, just suggest corsair CX550 as it is in tier B+ & corsair after sales support in India is also good.

Call primeabgb & negotiate for price by payment via upi/neft etc & since they are in Mumbai so delivery charges should be less.

Should I consider these components instead of following?
RAM -ADATA XPG Gammix D30 16GB(8GBx2) 3200Mhz -6.3k
Power Supply -Antec NeoECO 550M 550W -4.3k

I don't understand why these are required here and consuming extra budget which could otherwise go into better parts. Used RX 560 4GB /570 4GB /GTX 1050Ti 4GB/1060 6GB could be had for 5-7k.

Read my above post, you won't get adata D30 3200MHz ram at such prices. Also I clearly mentioned that antec neo eco M series is in tier C while corsair CX550 is in tier B+( tier A > tier B+ > tier B > tier C > tier D)

Your view on this...
Intel vs Adata

For me, Adata recommended by @whitestar_999

I am using Intel 660P since last October and it's real fast and I got 1TB version for 8.3k then

Adata SX8200 pro is better but now all ssd prices have increased by as much as 60% so recommending MX500 500gb over intel 660p 512gb as their current prices are almost same so no point getting 660p over MX500 for same capacity but if it was older price where 660p 1TB was cheaper than MX500 1TB by at least 1-2k rupees then it would have been a better option.

Fine...Nowadays All recommend 2.5-inch internal SSD....Instead of M.2 Form Factor Why?

Because M.2 form factor comes in two types: sata & NVMe. M.2 sata is basically 2.5" sata ssd without its covering so no point in getting it other than for looks inside cabinet(more empty space etc). M.2 NVMe prices are increased a lot & there is no practical performance difference between a good 2.5" sata ssd(like MX500 or samsung 860 evo) vs regular NVMe ssd & in fact the cheapest NVMe ssd may even be slower than good 2.5" sata ssd. A good NVMe ssd is only beneficial for certain specific tasks or when you really need large read write speeds like in certain video editing usage case etc.

what are you system specs right now? That should let us know whether 3600 + GTX 1650's power consumption is similar or not.

The original Corsair VX450 was a great PSU.

I removed and kept VX 450 from one of my earlier Core2Duo+9600GT 512mp graphic workstation, it served me for 4-5 years.

Is it the right time to buy, I can see the price of all the components are more than what is shared here.

Almost all prices of components have increased drastically since I bought in November last year.
Intel 660P 1TB was 8.3k in primeabgb
Now it is 10.5k
So see the difference in price rise.
I think this price rise will be there for another year or so.
Until production meets demand.

SSD prices were already confirmed to increase at the beginning of this year even before coronavirus sitaution & as per my guess ssd prices will follow the trend of ram price increase in 2017-18 & may not see usual prices at least in this year. For all other components the price increase is temporarily mainly because of supply & distribution network disruptions so I think prices should be back to normal in coming 2-3 months.

I wanted to continue this thread with my requirements for a Photo Editing machine but I decided to open a new thread because I am looking at a more powerful machine and Hackintosh compatible. Following this thread closely though.

Yes. Your VX450 is the very original VX450.

It could easily have been named as a 550w unit but Corsair didn’t do so.

Any recommendations for buying it in Pune?
It seems that the phone number provided on primeabgb is incorrect, do share if you know of another number.
