Hello,

I Already bought headphones and a mouse for R1800

therefore the amount left i want to spend on this is R32000

I would appreciate saving money if I can, i dont want to waste money.

So far I have found a few ideas:


Monitor: 1440p ips 165hz - R7400


CPU: 5600G - R4450
(I want to buy GPU couple weeks after the rest of the items explaining the APU)


Mobo: B550M - R1627


RAM: G Skill 2x8GB 3200mhz cl16 - R1400


PSU: 850w Gold 80 plus SF - R2000
(this should also work for 3090 in the future)


SSD: 1TB SATA Mushkin - R1679


CASE: Cooler master k501 atx - R980


GPU: 3060 ti 8gb dual PALIT from wootware - R11300 -

2 extra fans for case: R300

Ill buy all the pc parts first. I have a laptop, old monitor and flash drive to install Windows 10.

I also have a 250gb ssd and 500gb hdd - do you know if i require alternate disc docks?

Ill get the new monitor second.
Ill buy the GPU third. maybe 1 - 2 weeks after the PC is set up.



Important question: Do you think it is necessary to get a UPS / surge protection ?

What’s the purpose of the PC? Gaming or work/production related?

At that budget I’d rather go for an i5-12600 based build.

PSU won't work, well, sadly you will need at least 1kw PSU, too make sure the PSU is able to handle the spike loads, any thing less you might run into stability issues.Secondly at some point PSU's will be moving over to the new ATX 3.0 standard specifically to deal with these spike loads of GPU's. So you shouldn't spend too much on some thing that will be obsolete in a year or two.

Surely you can get a cheaper monitor, you going with nvidia any ways why not get that, it's 2 grand cheaper ? AMD while good is currently inflated price wise, intel is the better bet. With that budget, hell you can easily squeeze in a i9, if you plan well..

Secondly you are getting a board that supports m.2, you will be better off with this, Sata SSD's is just so much slower

Dont be daft

That PSU is fine,

The CPU may not boost on occasion and a 3090 won't always sit at 115% Power

Other than that it'll be fine.

Try chew at some of these items with an offer well below retail.
 
Right now also check international prices as rand increased in value vs dollar, so Amazon imports.

850w would be enough, I mean that system would be about 600w so 850w is more then enough.

Is jy mal in die kop ? 1kw PSU will cause us all to into loadshedding again.

A decent 650w should do just fine.
