New computer

[cosmo]

Hello guys,
Im buying a new computer very soon, I'd just like to list my components I'll be buying, feel free to give me suggestions/advice
CPU: Ryzen 5 5600X
GPU: MSI GeForce RTX 3050 6G
Motherboard: ASRock B550 Pro4
16GB DDR4 (will upgrade to 32gb soon)
I have a budget of 600 euro max

I can speak on 5600x, good budget choice that’s done me a really good service and isn’t bad on PERP, it was previously suggested to me to look at 5700X3D for my AM4 board (gigabyte b550 gaming x v2)

As much as I I wanna buy one it's double my current CPUs price and I just cannot afford it Im afraid
Thanks for the suggestion tho, I'll keep it in mind for the future

I know you mentioned your budget is limited, but please dont waste it on a 3050. You're gonna regret it and you can find 4060's for not a whole lot more. It's worth the extra month or two of savings.

Hi again, im looking at a RTX 5050 "low profile", how will the low profile affect performance if at all?
Is it worth it?

Honestly with your budget, look for a 1070ti. You won’t be ray tracing, but it’s got more raw power than most graphics cards in your range, it can hold up 1080p gaming very very well. And it’s cheaper than your options currently

The “low profile” just refers to its size, it will likely get hotter quicker, but with good airflow, you won’t notice thermal throttling from it

The 4060's raw performance is better than the 5050, if you were looking around the 4060's price point, you are better off getting a 5060.

The CPU and GPU will take most of your budget, and considering RAM is still through the roof, I'd say you are better off saving longer, buying better and longer lasting components as you will be disappointed again quick by the 5050

RAM is not an issue rn, I have 16gb DDR4 already
Also how is a 4060 even SLIGHTLY in my price range? That shit is 800-900 euro

its ranged from 300 to 400 euro.

A 4060 for 900 euro is crazy work, at that point get a 5070 lmao.

Can I ask on what website?

You can get a used GPU for a really great price, how much are you willing to spend on the GPU alone?

Since I sold my soul (Nintendo switch), I can spend 400 euro

If its gone up to 800 euro, it must be due to memory being very expensive at the moment, cause it was ranged between 400-600


I don't know what your current budget is with your switch sale, but might me good to know.

400 euro

That can get you a really good deal, but if you wanna buy used you should follow these tips to minimize you chances of getting scammed.

1. Always be wary if they have a REAL image of the GPU from different angle's, not a stock image of the GPU.
2. Make that the seller has a good reputation and a high rating and similar items in their sales stock.
3. Always buy from known websites that have buyer and seller protections, Ebay is probably your best choice if you prefer.

400 euro

Honestly, I'd save up a bit more for a good mid range card or even a second hand one, getting a 5050, or any lower budget card will see you upgrading in a year again

 

[cosmo]

Thank you very much for your help guys

 

[M_O_D_O]
