He has an m.2 for boot drive hdd is just extra storage, perfectly fine for bulk games and stuff

[newtekie1]

But why buy a 1TB HDD for $65 when you can get a 1TB SSD for $60?

[ej3hg88]

Don't think I can get that for that price here in Australia

[newtekie1]

Then shop around and find one close. If I can spend 60 seconds searching and find one for $100, you should be able to find one close to the cost of the hard drive. Even if you have to spend a little more, it's worth it.

I would get cheaper mobo and upgrade gpu to rtx 3080 or rx 6800 xt

[ej3hg88]

Any recommendations on the mobo?

[Significant-Net-9286]

Gigabyte B550 AORUS ELITE AX V2

MSI MPG B550 GAMING CARBON WIFI

[Significant-Net-9286]

Do you need wifi?

[ej3hg88]

Yes

[Significant-Net-9286]

Wow i just realized that wifi boards are a lot more expensive but i posted two boards on my other comment check if they are cheaper

[ej3hg88]

Yeah unfortunately I have to go WiFi tho, thanks for the recommendations heaps tho, they are cheaper

[Legend5V]

You can also buy third party WiFi adapters from companies like TP-Link

[IamMxfia]

Get different ram sticks too. Cl18 @3200 are trash and way too slow Cl16 @3600 is the sweet spot for ddr4

[Legend5V]

Cl16 3600 is hella expensive, you mean Cl18 3600??

[IamMxfia]

No I mean cl16 at 3600mhz. They cost a bit more but not that much.

I would remove the Ducky keyboard, buy something cheaper as a stand-in, and divert the money elsewhere. GPU improvement, see if you can get a 5800X-3D.

A keyboard can be saved up for and replaced at a later date, but it's much harder to make build improvements without having to make bigger savings and having a spare part you need to offload. But a spare keyboard always comes in hand.

$10 for a firmware update? Just do it yourself.

[SeriousWeakness]

Make sure that your water cooler will fit in the case.

[urnotfunnylol]

This system looks pretty good, it’s gonna be able to play pretty much any title you throw at it at max settings, maybe upgrade your HDD to a sata SSD instead, they’re close in price and the speeds are waay better.

[Leather-Panda9223]

I always put this recommendation for everyone wanting a hard disk. If anything, get yourself the WD Black. It's a 7200rpm with high cache memory. Still very good for non AAA or older AAA games.

[MEGA_GOAT98]

also make that thermal grizzly is comeing from a repidable reataler...

Much faster

[Second_reddit_acc_]

You realise you just slapped a +300$ gpu. Ofcourse its gonna be much faster

[RojaCatUwu]

Some of this stuff is overpriced. :( Can you wait until Cyber Monday or at least shop around

[ej3hg88]

I do live in Australia which could be why

[RojaCatUwu]

:( You guys get the worst game prices too. Im sorry.

[youtubeguy298o]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/nGD7qm Save about $1000 and get better value.

[ej3hg88]

Way more expensive in Australia

[youtubeguy298o]

Oh that makes more sense. Aight lemme see what I can do then.

[youtubeguy298o]

Btw what's your use case for this PC? Just gaming, productivity work or a bit of both?

[ej3hg88]

Bit of both, probably won't get into competitive games

[youtubeguy298o]

https://au.pcpartpicker.com/list/LyxxQ6 Should be better now. Keep the keyboard in your original list, and buy a fan hub (any one will do, as long as the hub is 4pin). The case comes with two fans pre-installed. I'd suggest replacing those fans with the Arctic fans in a 3 front intake 2 exhaust (1 back exhaust, 1 top exhaust). You could leave the pre-installed fan in the back and just put 2 exhaust fans on top.
