HI GEEKS,
Any info please?

Anything basic will do for your need. Since Ryzen APU costs just a little more than Athlon/Pentium, you can go for that and also you have good enough budget.

Will 8th generation i3 be overkill for my needs?
Rather than external wifi USB, Do we get internal Wi fi card?

W

Yes,8th gen i3 is overkill for your needs.Internal wifi cards are costlier & messier(in the sense you need to install them in pcie slots after opening cabinet cover plus you can not simply plug & play them like usb).

Even 2200G is overkill. It's alright as you have budget. Couple of thousands more you can get i3, better CPU performance than 2200G but not as good wrt iGPU performance. But for your case, it doesn't matter.

J

Thx a lot.
I was thinking in terms of i3 as my home PC is i3 based assembled in 2010 and still doing excellent duty.
But since its an overkill, I will go ahead with 2200G. It will save some money also.

2010 i3 is now slower than latest pentium dual core(used to be available at 4.3k but now after intel price increase due to shortage,is costing 6.5k).

^if saving money is a cause for concern,then you could also consider Athlon 200GE.

No. Saving money is secondary. I need future proof system, fast . So I am ready to spend aorund Rs 55 to 60 k. Its one time investment .

Go with the AMD Ryzen. I have one at home. Is a decent processor.

Also I feel it will be better for future because AMD tends to support their CPU sockets for long time in turn leading to availability of motherboard replacements for longer in the future too. I had an AM2 setup running for 10 years at home in which time I had to change 3 motherboards. AMD has promised to keep current pin for 4 years.

What did you edit?

W

Merged your 2 posts into 1 as single link line was looking a bit odd & fits better with previous post.

@whitestar_999 Sorry about that. I thought of it as a single post. Forgot that the second line was added shortly afterwards and was hoping it would auto-merge. (Is that functionality still there?)

-------------------

@joshiks7 Please consider adequate backups too. I suggest one onsite and one offsite password protected backups. And also store the password in physical form in a bank locker in case you happen to forget password. (Considering that it is patient data that is both precious and privacy risk)

W

No problem.

There is actually a time limit(maybe within a minute or two of posting) within which any new post is automatically merged with previous post by same user provided nobody else posted in between.

hi.
Can I use samsung 1 tb SSD rather than HDD ? OS and main data stoarge will be on same drive . Planning to get from USA. Its cheap there

W

Yes but you won't get warranty in India(someone here posted that he got samsung 1tb ssd for ~8k in USA black friday deal).

You can do that. In that case I strongly advise getting another mechanical hard drive to keep in the same box and use Syncthing to keep a running backup in case of SSD failure.

Exhaustive studies have shown that SSDs have an annual failure rate of tenths of one percent, while the AFRs for HDDs can run as high as 4 to 6 percent. Additionally, unlike HDDs with their spinning disks, SSDs have no moving parts. As such, they are able to withstand shocks and vibrations without the risk of data loss. This high reliability means SSDs provide consistence performance. The health of SSDs can be monitored and planned for. It’s this predictable reliability and the absence of mechanical parts that give SSDs a huge advantage over the unpredictable performance and high failure rate of HDDs.

I have been using SSD's since 2011 and not one of my SSD failed.

My old system (year 2010) is based on intel i3 540/3.06 GHZ AND Gigabyte GA S55M-S2. I would like to add 250gb SSD for OS for fater booting . Will this system support SSD?

Means its sufficient to install SSD ALONE for data storage, without HDD back up, right?

J

Do I need to buy ssd mounting bracket also? or can I get it here in India?

SSD is alone sufficient.

joshiks7 said:

SSDs can be mounted onto HDD brackets. If it is able to fit then you need to buy.

Yes that is correct(860 evo). Also you can buy mounting bracket from here(do note my friend spent 15-20min figuring how to attach ssd before finally realizing that screws can also be fitted through those 4 long slits,they really should print some few lines as instructions.

SSD is indeed less prone to failure but that does not mean it is 100% safe against failure.What if due to some electric malfunction in mains/psu damage ssd,what if someone accidentally spill some liquid over case etc Better to have the backup of a data in an external portable drive locked inside some safe in office/home too. Or you can buy online subscription(like MS Office 365,check this post of mine [Urgent] Unable to boot into Win10; no recovery disk present ).

There is also no point then in going for a 2400G as this pc is for clinic use & not gaming. At least the 12k mobo has better(in fact best) VRMs under 15k so it should help in longevity plus it has AC wifi(not the usual N) which will not cost less than 1-1.5k if bought separately as usb AC wifi adapter.Same is the case with RGB ram,no point getting it for a clinic pc.

J

I have decided to go ahead with Ryzen 3 2200G . While reading about MoBo I came across MSI B 450 Tomhawk - its said to be mid range MoBo and good VFM, Is it so? Kindly suggest MoBo -I am bit confused.

Just a thought - Now I am thinking of shifting old desktop from home to clinic . Old version is core intel i3 540/3.06 GHZ AND Gigabyte GA S55M-S2 based. It has 8gb RAM and windows 7, 64 bit . It will be sufficient for my basic work.
Shall place new unit at home. Will ryzen 3 2200 G will be okay for casual gaming ? No plan to add graphics card.
Sorry for too many queries.

I have 2200G at home. If you do not insist on playing 2017-18 titles at 1080p, it is enough for casual gaming.

In this case both RAM speed and dual-channel setup is important. Get the fastest RAM available/affordable in 2x configuration (say 4 GB x 2 sticks rather than 8 GB single stick unless you plan to add another equal stick later which might be its own headache). I had initially set up on 3000 MHz 8 GB single stick but added another similar unit after 3 weeks. Frame rates decidedly improved by 5 - 10. Experience of playing significantly improved.

If he has budget for it then why not OP previously mentioned something about future proof, 2400G is not exactly a future proof CPU but Intel overpricing their CPU makes this a better buy.
Lets add 1k for wifi still he will save 2k on motherboard
I suggested a RGB RAM because I am unable to find any higher clocked non RGB RAM and higher clocked RAMs are better for APUs

Sincere apology. Initially I was thinking in terms of new PC for my OPD. But while reading thread I realized its better to go ahead with new set up at home. So initially I kept budget bit low. I need future proof system. I won't be upgrading it soon. I will be using recently bought 22 inch Dell monitor (FHD) as of now . So I will save that money which will be used for MoBo and processor. I shall purchase new monitor 6 months later. This is the middle way

In that respect going for better CPU is recommended. I feel it would be easier to add more RAM than change CPU altogether later.

So go for 2400G if possible (may be 10% better than 2200G).

If budget will be the constraint buy a single stick of 8 GB RAM now and buy one more later. With Win 10 more RAM is definitely better more so because you would also be using some of that for video until you get a discrete graphics card.

This was the RAM I bought. ADATA AX4U300038G16-SRS Desktop Ram XPG SPECTRIX D40 Series - 8GB (8GBx1) DDR4 3000MHz RGB

Saving 2k in a 50k build does not make sense.Similarly getting a single 8gb 3000/3200mhz ram is not much better than getting 2*4gb 2400mhz ram(might even be better than a single 3000mhz stick as dual channel doubles the available ram bandwidth).

joshiks7 said:

There is no such thing as "future proof",it all depends on your usage.If you want to get the new system for home then better start a new thread.

The single 8 GB stick is suggested so that a second similar one can be added later to complete dual channnel setup.

Well if you are reusing monitor then get this

ASROCK B450 PRO4-8,800
CORSAIR VENGEANCE LPX 8GB DDR4 RAM-5,500

And what if that is not required,16gb is for some serious gaming or serious productivity usages & neither of them are required by @op.Instead of spending extra money on something which may or may not happen in future,it is better to spend on something which can be used right away.

Just one thing,gskill does not have an official service centre in India so in case of RMA you may have to wait weeks before getting a replacement as it will come from abroad.I suggest going with corsair or kingston/hyperx for ram as their after sales support in India is official.
Buy Online | Corsair 8GB DDR4 CMK8GX4M1D3000C16 3000MHz RAM | Price in India

Just one FYI..the chosen motherboard has 8 + 4 EPS CPU Power connector, whereas the chosen PSU CX450 has just 1 (4 + 4) EPS Power plug. Now a days you get high end PSUs that offer 2 (4 + 4) to support such boards.

Since you are not going to overclock or put excessive load on the system you should just be fine plugging in 4+4 plug in 8 Pins and leave the rest of the 4 open.

Still if you ever face issues like system not booting or may be system instability, better add molex to 4 EPS adapter to consume and draw the extra power needed from a free molex plug.

This is just FYI and is certainly not a show stopper.

Do you really need dvd writer? If yes then you have to use a different case
Corsair SPEC 3 Red-3,900

My suggestion is don't buy DVD writer its outdated.

I have good DVDs of movie and Hindi songs collected over many years. So I would need it

Would suggest you try to pick up a Blu ray drive.

PC Bluray drives are overpriced & not really worth it.

You missed it in PM?

As for psu 8pins(4+4) is sufficient for most mid rage processors,extra 4pins of (8+4) on mobo is required only during extreme overclocking(usually ~5GHz,for comparison even achieving 4GHz is considered a very good result for ryzen 1600) so as to provide extra power.PSU should work fine.

Yes,but I suggest this one:

Thx a ton. As a curiosity what would be adavantge of Slim external DVD writer as opposed to internal one?

Oh . Thank you.
Is it going to be a major issue ? OR should I opt for other power supply unit please?

I have already stated in my original post that 4 + 4 should just suffice for normal load even if your board has 4 + 4 + 4. You are not going to overclock nor play heavy games on it. As already stated it should be just fine. That post is FYI and also another point I have is that if you are going to get it assembled thru an Assembler, he should not take you for a ride.

You know in advance what he is talking about and do not fall pray to his tactics just in case. He might say better to buy something else from him and he might try to make more money. Despite if there's an issue in a very very rare case, fix is very easy as already stated.

Nothing,if your cabinet does not have 5.25" drive bay(many new stylish cabinets don't have this) or you like to use your dvd drive with laptop(many slim laptops nowadays too have no dvd drive) too then it is convenient.

J

Thank u sir

Is slim USB DVDs are compatible with smart TV? I have C8 LG OLED Tv.
Regards

W

No,for that you need a proper dvd player.In any case it will not look good as DVD resolution is much less than full HD. One should preferably watch at least full HD(1080p) content on such TVs,availability of 4k content is still much less than fullHD in India.

Finally placed order yesterday night for all components. Prime abgb and IT depot. Waiting for delivery.
Regards

Good. Please post some pictures of your setup.
