yeah you should go am4 or up the budget
the 7600 is fairly weak

i would rather have support until 2027, as well as the price to performance and efficany of the cpu is still insane.
gloomy warren
did you check with your friend if he wants that case or not
rose scroll
yes
rose scroll
did you check with your friend if he wants that case or not
i have built a pc in it before but wonder if you have had any pain points with it?
gloomy warren
it's a pretty solid case, especially for how much it costs, but I usually check with my friends whether they like the looks of the case
16GB of memory will prove to be problematic
since it's a gaming computer, I would get a 2TB ssd, considering one game can use 50-100GB nowadays
great choice on the power supply and motherboard

5600x + 7700 xt https://no.pcpartpicker.com/list/hKPhQP
rose scroll
no
gloomy warren
this is what I would go with to start, then make some adjustments if your friend isn't fully satisfied with it https://no.pcpartpicker.com/list/h6vvMV
rose scroll
great choice on the power supply and motherboard
ye tbh its the only real choice in stuff i can do in norway
gloomy warren
the 7600 comes with a cpu cooler, so your friend can buy the cpu cooler later if they find that it's too noisy
otherwise, the included cooler is plenty
rose scroll
first config i went with but found out a peerles assais with the 7500f and pbo is cheaper as shipping is free but pcpart picker has some issues

this ones gud
gloomy warren
ah, but getting a 7600, which likely has a better bin and an iGPU, can become handy for troubleshooting
rose scroll
i work with a lot of computers as well as he has technical people close so that's not an issue and he plans to upgrade so a good cooler with a slightly worse like 2-3% is not too big of an issue
gloomy warren
although, I'm not sure how much more expensive the 7600 is over the 7500F + peerless assassin
rose scroll
its about the same in price but with it he gets a great and quiet cooler that will make upgrading easy
gloomy warren
that's a fair point. although. I don't really like the noise profile of the fans used in the peerless assassin
it has this noticeable hum sound at around 900-1100 rpm, which is what most people set it for normal loads
but it doesn't really matter once it's spinning at higher speeds, since it's going to make noise regardless
rose scroll
i think he is just gonna stuff the pc under his desk so i do not think its gonna matter too much
and btw its a first time build so he dose not have a library of games so its why i chose a fast boot drive over a large drive
gloomy warren
the sn770 is also fairly fast, I think the difference is less than 1 or 2 seconds for boot times
rose scroll
ye nothing huge but still think it might be more worth to start off with a 1TB and just upgrade if he needs it as he has a second slot
rn he just wants to play OW2 and fortnite
gloomy warren
500 nok for double the storage is pretty desirable for me, but it'll all depend on how they'll use their computer
I store some movies on my computer, and they take up about 500gb, and along with other files it quickly fills up
but, ow2 and fortnite uses very little storage, so even a 512gb drive might be fine for them, if they aren't downloading a bunch of games at a time. 1tb is a good starting point then
rose scroll
he only has a total of 14 300nok to work with and needs a monitor as well and found a samsung g5 g55c (1440p 165HTz) for around 2 000nok
gloomy warren
oh that's a tighter budget than I anticipated
gloomy warren
I don't think getting a 850X is a sound idea then
rose scroll
tbh same here but the way he wants to make the pc i thing having a good base is a good idea and then build from their
gloomy warren
I have a slightly different idea then
I think getting an mp33 pro is a better alternative to the 850x
once they have a bit more disposable income, they can switch to using the mp33 pro as a secondary drive instead of the main drive, which can be a bit tedious. But, if they're not storing a bunch of important files, it should be a pretty quick operation
that should leave the budget to fit the monitor, and if you want to switch the cpu for the 7500F and the peerless assassin, that also works. https://no.pcpartpicker.com/list/pCmBKX
rose scroll
my go to drive at first was the A-Data XPG SX8200 Pro
gloomy warren
looks pretty good
rose scroll
he is also a bit 50/50 on getting a used gpu, rn its between getting the 7600 for 3573nok new vs a 6600 xt used for about 1700nok and the performance difference is about 10% give or take
gloomy warren
go used
even better if you can get a good deal on the 6700 XT or 6750 XT for around the same price as a new 7600
rtx 3060 12gb is also good if it's around the same price as that used 6600 xt, even if it's a bit higher
gloomy warren
maybe not worth it
rose scroll
ye nvidia used in norway is not good for your wallet
found a good 6700 xt for 3800nok
rose scroll
sent him a message
gloomy warren
considering how much vat cucks people in norway, ~3400 nok would be amazing, but 3500-3600 is probably more realistic
rose scroll
used stuff dose not get taxed and we see vat before purchase and pcpartpicker has vat pre applied
gloomy warren
yeah, I meant the seller buying the 6700 xt new
it wouldn't surprise me if the used market is a bit more expensive than the US
rose scroll
a bit
a SUPER used 6600 xt is about the same price as a new one in the us
and btw do not look at shipping as its free if you shop over 1000nok at the same time so its basically just free
gloomy warren
forgot about that
rose scroll
here is the upgraded list from atleast what i think might be a good build except the gpu
with the monitor too
gloomy warren
let me go through every part again to check if there are better deals
rose scroll
he wishes to keep it about 14 000nok total but can go a little over.
rose scroll
rtings dose review it quite well but fair enough it might not be the best
gloomy warren
the monitor is one of those things where it should be a good one from the start
rose scroll
its still a good one, but for now he wishes to get something good enough to see if he likes it but if not he will just sell it on the used market and buy something better.
gloomy warren
ideally it would be amazing if they could get their hands on a M27Q, as that's as good as a monitor can get without going into really expensive monitors
alternatively, you can look for 1080p monitors, but you do sacrifice quite a bit of visual fidelity
rose scroll
their is one on sale right now for 2 500nok
gloomy warren
they might have to wait a bit longer to save up, though
rose scroll
the main issue right now is that a lot of deals are going to stop on the 30th
gloomy warren
ah, then they'll have to choose
rose scroll
ye i will check with him
gloomy warren
the power supply and ram, that are on sale, are good to buy
and they're quite good parts
rose scroll
ye
750w of power is more then enough even if he wanted to upgrade with a 4090
one of his other friends said that he needed a minimum of a 850w psu
its also the same one that said that a 3060 12GB is 20%+ better then a RX 7600 in all gaming
gloomy warren
too vague
if that was in an essay, that gets an F
rx 7600 should have noticeably better rasterization performance
but, it would fall behind in tasks that utilize just above the 8gb vram limit, or in tasks that significantly favor cuda over amd's rnda 3 architecture
rose scroll
some games like amd other nvidia
and the first thing i do when looking at a gpu is check reviews
and ofc not just one video
update on the 6700 XT, he did not want to go lower
rose scroll
4BG more vram and a good bit more performance with a way better cooler, so might try to do that one
rose scroll
ah
i got a good update on the RX 6700 XT situation, i threw a low ball at him and he was willing to do 3 238 nok for it
gloomy warren
likely bought it during crypto mining boom
rose scroll
nope norway is just that expensive
gloomy warren
wack
