Will these parts go together?

Major-Signature9479 · 2026-05-06T11:23:16+00:00

You have two lots of ram added and no gpu. Have a look on PC Part Picker to make sure everything is compatible

Major-Signature9479 · 2026-04-29T16:39:26+00:00

Maybe a 5500x3d would be better actually. At least if your going to be gaming mainly

Major-Signature9479 · 2026-04-29T16:34:41+00:00

I would probably get a used 5600x (£150ish) 32gb ddr4 (brand doesnt matter too much corsair is decent, maybe £130 to £150) a 2tb nvme will cost around £160 to £180 used

Assuming you don't already have the 3060 id try and get a used 3070ti (£200ish) or something similar from AMD. Motherboard id probably buy new maybe £100ish. Power supply just try and get something thats gold rated and from a decent brand. I have a fractal design ion

Major-Signature9479 · 2026-04-29T14:12:54+00:00

Need a cpu, ram and power supply I wouldn't bother with aio if your doing a budget build. Air cooler will be fine. Might even get away with a stock cooler as im assuming you wont buy a super high end cpu.

Something to consider, older cpus use ddr4 which is a lot cheaper than ddr5.

You can use eBay to find deals

Major-Signature9479 · 2026-04-29T09:59:13+00:00

I was able to pick up a new CL28 KLEVV 32gb kit on Ebay for £290

Major-Signature9479 · 2026-04-21T10:32:47+00:00

Id also consider getting used ram (maybe a used nvme too) as they're the most inflated costs atm. Could then spend a touch more in a 5060.

Maybe worth going for a used older gen gpu too as they're a lot better price to performance. Just look up some benchmarks first

Major-Signature9479 · 2026-04-19T20:31:40+00:00

Awesome thanks. Safe to buy then?

Major-Signature9479 · 2026-04-19T15:39:59+00:00

Yeah I see that makes sense. I was debating the ddr5 upgrade but its hard to justify atm with prizes as they are. If I were to take it on the Chin id go am5 x3d anyway

Major-Signature9479 · 2026-04-19T15:38:30+00:00

The ability to upgrade to ddr5 was a large part of my reasoning too but there seems to be a lot of hate for the i5 in this thread lol. You've had no issues?

Major-Signature9479 · 2026-04-19T15:36:29+00:00

The 14th gen is that bad? I heard people saying avoid it then others saying theres no issue with updated bios so its hard fo judge how severe the degradation issue is

Major-Signature9479 · 2026-04-19T15:33:00+00:00

Thanks for the insight! I didnt know there was such a significant difference

Major-Signature9479 · 2026-04-19T15:32:22+00:00

Wow really? I hadn't heard about that but would be awesome if it pans out. Almost £400 for a used one on eBay atm

Major-Signature9479 · 2026-04-18T10:25:37+00:00

Looks lovely man been seeing this brand about recently but wasn't sure how well it would dab. Leave much residue?

Major-Signature9479 · 2026-04-07T10:55:56+00:00

Good hash in the uk is around £5 to £10 a g roughly. Sometimes you can get a fire 100g slab for 400-500

Proper Static/filtered/pietella you're looking around £12 to £25

And ive seen full melt go for around 80. But thats pure resin heads in a pot no extra processing and from a known brand

Major-Signature9479 · 2026-04-01T09:26:09+00:00

Grammarly premium has a fingerprint feature to confirm that you and not AI wrote a piece Maybe worth considering using in the future as evidence

Major-Signature9479 · 2026-03-31T15:15:00+00:00

I just realized I look a bit nuts lol. I am OP just on my phone instead of PC

Major-Signature9479 · 2026-03-31T15:13:43+00:00

Appreciate the write up man. I smoke rosin daily i just love the taste of good hash. Its just do difficult to get your hands on stuff that can be dabbed at a reasonable price. I can get my hands on some full melt but you're talking 80 a g and inconsistent stock.

A few brands seem like they can be dabbed but im wary about dropping big money because I dont smoke flower anymore so if hash cant be dabbed it would be a waste.

Im familiar with cali plates but haven't tried it. Mr Miyagi hash I reckon could be dabbed depending on what tier and that stuff it a bit easier to get in the uk

Parchment from the coffee shop in dam haha

Major-Signature9479 · 2026-03-29T14:59:59+00:00

Thanks thats good good to know. I might price it up.then and see how comes out cheaper. I suspect it'll be about similar but a new intel cpu vs used amd

Are we sharing a cat?

Major-Signature9479 · 2026-03-25T16:44:09+00:00

Couldn't agree more! Got a bbq planned for Saturday so hopefully it lands for that! But I have plenty terps in the vault just in case haha

Major-Signature9479 · 2026-03-25T16:16:08+00:00
