Hallo, I am planning to build a new gaming rig which I do every 5 years.
The last rig I built had some motherboard issues so I wanted to avoid this and get some information on what to buy.
The rig is mainly for gaming.
The price range I am looking at is between R35000 and R50000. Rand (South Africa)
I am not focused on one brand but I found Samsung SSD tech to be really good.
I am also unsure if Radeon new cards will match Nvidia but would like some feedback regarding this
I always build a completely new rig so no old parts will be used.
I looked at other post but thought is would be more effective to get all the recommendation in one thread and to voice the information which I currently need feedback on like the Motherboards chipsets.
I don't have any experience in overclocking so that option can be ignored.
The stock is very limited during this time of year so I am looking for Jan 2021 to March 2021 depending on stock and if the customs cost is still crazy high for the GFX cards.
I always try to tweak my game settings to get high FPS and clear view for games like Tarkov since if you miss something moving you are dead and I also believe it is time for a screen size upgrade.
I want to try the a water cooling system and NAND SSD.
The reason I want to ask for input regarding this pc build is because I am not up to date with technology currently and with the release of the new chipsets and GFX I dont want to get the wrong hardware.
I want to ask how is motherboards tested and how is a motherboard rated for example the CPU has the beanchmarks but I dont know how motherboards is tested and how compatibility with the CPU and GFX is tested.
New build recommendation
PC Case - Needs to fit new GFX and water cooling
RAM 32 GB RAM - Dont know what RAM is currently good
CPU - Currently looking at the new Ryzen 5000 series Ryzen 7
SSD - Samsung NAND SSD for the OS with a backup 500 GB SSD and 1-3 TB HDD for storage.
Water cooling - I have no experience with this so need any recommendation.
PSU - 1000 or 1600 depending on the requirements of the build but would appreciate a manufacture recommendation since I am not sure which is good currently.
Monitor - I want to get a 27 inch monitor and some people have recommended ROG screens.
Motherboard - I currently use a MSI motherboard and currently have no issues with this manufacturer so would like to stay with their boards.
Not a big fan of the light show some rigs have so would keep that on the side if there is space in the budget.
Can you recommend a build currently and assist with the motherboard information where I can read up on what to look for?
Then if there is new boards on the way which to keep my eye on.
Thank you in advance.
