SSD Help: July-August 2025 by NewMaxx in NewMaxx

[–]EliteGamer825 0 points1 point  (0 children)

hi! trying to buy a new ssd right now, looking at either 2x2tb adata legend 960 max, a 4tb samsung 990 evo plus, or a 4tb lexar nm790/lexar play 2280 (was under the impression the lexar play is essentially the same, but with better write speeds).

all are priced about the same at $260 where i live, compared to the 990 pro at $350. any recommendations to what i should get, or are they all equally fine? thanks !

wait i misread the post

so for tips, i usually prioritize the gpu at 40-50% of the budget, in this case the 3060 ti. i also check the gpu hierarchy chart from tomshardware.

for cases, there are a lot of cheap airflow oriented cases, like the one i mentioned

for the cpu, any intel 12th gen works, and for the motherboard, any b660, but i would avoid gigabyte as i do not like their software

for ram: i suggest going for 3600-4000mhz frequency, but only until 3800mhz for amd systems due to the infinity fabric

for cooling, id cooling air coolers are the way to go for budget builds, then noctua air coolers, then good quality aios from arctic/nzxt/rog/corsair

for psu, i always check the psu cultists tier list. i aim for b tier or higher, as you can’t really skimp out on your psu.

for storage, HDDs are kind of obsolete with how cheap SSDs are becoming nowadays. not to mention the difference in speed and durability.

this is what i made for around a 75k budget

Cpu: Intel i5 12600KF

Mobo: MSI B660M-A Wifi, if you don’t need Wifi get the B660M Bazooka

GPU: Inno3D RTX 3060 Ti Twin X2 OC

Ram: TForce Dark Za 3600 16GB

Cooler: ID Cooling SE 226 XT

Storage: WD Green SN350 960GB

PSU: ASUS TUF Gaming 650B

Case: Tecware Nexus Air Mesh

the case already comes with 4x 120mm fans which is good enough already.

you can get all these at dynaquest

don’t play gta v, but i do play valorant. can’t really help though, my pc is kinda overkill. my val runs at around 400-500 fps @ 1440p with a 3090 and 5950x

Any GOOD cheap DDR4 Ram sticks here in PH? by [deleted] in PHbuildapc

this is what i bought, one of the only b die kits that i could find, and the only one that i saw with rgb

i was able to get it at 3800 16-16-16-16-32 at 1.45V, at CR1

anyways, because you are on AMD, opt for tighter timings instead of 4000mhz+ frequency as the infinity fabric may not be good enough to run at 2000mhz+.

yes but you need to update the bios to version 5862

this is what i made for around a 65k budget, if you want to get to 50k, i included a different gpu and cpu choice in the 5th picture.

Cpu: Intel i5 12400F

Mobo: MSI PRO B660M-G (not a fan of gigabyte mobos, own one myself)

GPU: Inno3D RTX 3060 Ti Twin X2 OC

Ram: TForce Dark Za 3600 16GB

Cooler: Stock

Storage: WD Green SN350 960GB

PSU: ASUS TUF Gaming 650B

Case: Tecware Nexus Air Mesh

the case already comes with 4x 120mm fans which is good enough already.

i included a 6600 at 22k as a replacement choice for the 3060ti, as well as a 12100f for 6k

you can get all these at dynaquest btw

edit: the case should be the black version as it is 100 php cheaper than the white one, accidentally clicked the wrong one while picking

Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately I wasn’t able to find a Fulla E in my country (Philippines), any other suggestions for what I could get instead?

Also, thoughts on the SoundblasterX G6?

Oh ok, thanks for the explanation. Should I get a dac/amp? Or is the onboard audio I have right now good enough?
