the cooler wont be the wraith prism but the wraith stealth, the stealth wasnt on the page so i just used that one as filler

#

The 1600 comes with the wrath so what was the point

#

Have you bought any parts yet?

#

And what’s your total budget?

#

@fervent sparrow

fervent sparrow
#

i have the gpu and the cpu already

#

i had school mb for answering so late

valid atlas
#

Ok

#

So whats your budget not including the cpu and gpu?

fervent sparrow
#

200

#

planning to buy the ram used

#

motherboard psu and ssd are the ones id rather not buy used

#

pcpartpicker shows the prices vey high but the case psu motherboard and ssd are about 185€

#

on amazon

#

What country are you in?

fervent sparrow
#

germany

#

is there something inherently wrong with the setup

#

i feel like the only weak point is the motherboard but i dont understand all that compatability shit etc and after some research i chose that one

steady scroll
#

from experience 😔

#

zen 1 kinda shit tbh

fervent sparrow
#

that too but i did do my research and imo its enough for me

#

i also considered the 5 4500 since its really cheap atm but i saw that its not compatible with the mb without bios update so i just went for the 1600

#

yea but the rx6600 is much better than my gpu and as said im fine with the performance since i got a really good deal on it as well

#

i could upgrade at some point but for now its more than enough for me

#

is the setup fine? compatibility shouldnt be an issue and i tried finding the best bang for your buck components that still were reliable

#

the case should fit everything as well

#

and i used a bunch of those wattage calculators and i shouldnt need more than 400w and 450w seems good enough with a lot of headroom

#

im not gonna play anything more demanding than GTA V and id be fine with playing on low settings aswell

steady scroll
#

Yeah

valid atlas
fervent sparrow
#

there is?

valid atlas
#

Yes

fervent sparrow
#

eh doesnt really matter now

valid atlas
fervent sparrow
#

i put the new components into my amazon list already so ik the prices

valid atlas
#

You can get a few of the parts cheaper not on amazon

fervent sparrow
#

i put in the same setup and its the cheapest on amazon still

valid atlas
fervent sparrow
#

is it better than the crucial? or just more space

#

my idea was to get a ssd with 500 and later when i need it install a hdd with a few tb just so i can load all the useless stuff on there yk?

fervent sparrow
#

id probaby stick with the p5 plus

#

is there anything else

#

psu seems good enough as said

#

the case is just preference

#

and it does fit the hardware

valid atlas
#

And all nvmes are fast enough that it wont even matter about the speed

fervent sparrow
#

hm

#

i could get the crucial p3 plus for the same price aswell

valid atlas
#

Kioxia excercia is better

fervent sparrow
#

ok

#

ive never heard of kioxia so i was unsure

#

it is compatible with the motherboard right?

valid atlas
#

M.2 slot = yes

fervent sparrow
#

ok

#

so all m.2 nvme ssds are compatible right?

valid atlas
#

Yes

fervent sparrow
#

aight

#

i just found out the motherboard slows down PCIe 4.0 ssds down to PCIe 3.0 and transfer speeds are slowed to 4000mb/s or slower

#

so the p5 plus wouldnt have any advantage at all right?

valid atlas
#

It would but just barely

fervent sparrow
#

so how fast would the p5 plus actually be if it normally runs around 6500 mb/s

burnt grove
#

If it gets downgraded to PCIe gen3, it'll go down to 4000MB/s reads and 3500MB/s writes as this is the max that PCIe gen 3 can do

fervent sparrow
#

aight

#

so for example the p3 would be just as fast as the p5 plus

#

or at most a little bit slower
