Gaming / Development PC Tips

Hello everybody,

I wanted your opinion on the configuration I composed, I intend to use it mainly to work with it (to develop with different programming languages, vm) but also to play (eg. bf *, gta, ac * etc ...). I have not put the ssd because I already have a free one and as an operating system I will use both windows (of which I already have a license) and linux. My doubt is mainly on the motherboard, if the selected one is decent for the use I would make of it.

I'm sorry if the configuration language is in Italian.

Thanks in advance.

Hi there,
This is a good start, but could use a couple of tweaks.
Please could you tell us your budget and what monitor you’re pairing this with?

I'm trying to find some compromises, my limit was around 1500€ and currently, I'm a bit over budget. Anyway, I don't want to spend above 1800€. I got 2 monitors, both of them have 1080p as resolution.

with the 5800x you really want the 570 motherboard as it can deal with the heat etc better

The RAM you have selected is too slow. You need it to be at least 3200MHz For Ryzen CPUs. Do your applications need the extra VRAM of the 3060? Dropping down to a 2060 could save you some money, as long as it will perform well enough for what you need. Also, do you need the extra cores of the 5800x, or would the 5600x be enough for you?

Ok for the RAM. I see your point for the 3060, you say that because I don't play in 4k (or not above 1080p) I can cut the price by using 2060 which gave me the same results. Thinking about what @Martinr36 saying, if I choose 5800x I should use a 570 mobo, but, if I use the 5600x I can leave the b550 mobo. Looking at these benchmarks https://www.techpowerup.com/review/amd-ryzen-7-5800x/ and https://www.techpowerup.com/review/amd-ryzen-5-5600x/ the differences are minimal between both processors, the 5600x has lower costs and lower power consumption but has -2 core within. I don't think that I miss so much those cores, also because I don't develop machine learning projects or that kind of stuff.

You can also use a cheaper cooler with the 5600x, as it doesn’t get as hot as the 5800x.

The cooler of choice on the forum for the 5600x is the Coolermaster Liquid Lite 240
This is the cooler I have on my pc and it does a good job of keeping the cpu cool 😎 even when I'm playing games like total war which tend to rely on cpu rather than gpu.
