aoa, i'm planning to buy a gaming pc for myself . Being specific to the point , my friend owns a gaming pc with specifications pasted below. The guy is asking for Rs 135,000 /- for the PC less the LCD and accessories including the keyboard and mouse. I'm not a technically sound guy therefore is seek your opinion on the built , if its worth the price being asked for or it is overrated.

Specifications :




  • Ryzen 2600x
  • Asus strix b450 f gaming mobo
  • 16gb trident z gskill rgb 3200mhz ddr4 ram
  • 1tb hdd
  • 730 smart se thermaltake psu
  • Corsair 100r casing
  • Msi gtx 1070 gaming x graphic card 8 GB


please your sincere opinion is required on the subject matter , i dont want to spoil my 135k.
thanks

Hi, picking up everything NEW should cost around $1100 which amounts to around 153k PKR. Since your friend is already using it, it now depends on how old and used this equipment is. You can check the pricing yourself on the pcpartpicker.com list I created with the components you mentioned. I think for used equipment it should be less than 135k.

Edit: Do note that local vendors usually add tax and duty and profit on top of the price in dollars mentioned above so the system in Pakistan may cost a bit more than 153k.

While it usually depends on what kind of games you play MOBA, AAA etc and on what resolution you play, in this case with the GTX 1070 thrown in you should be getting very high frames. This is a great build for 1080p gaming and a good one for 1440p. You should easily get 60+ frames on most games. However, if you want to game at 4k, then this setup will not help, you would need a beefier CPU and GPU for that probably, an i7 8700 and a GTX 1080, at least, for 4k gaming.

The only thing I would recommend is to include an SSD in the system to boot it. That will greatly reduce loading times for the OS and any game you install on it. This doesn't increase FPS, only load times.

Other than that (and I don't recommend it but) if you have extra cash to spare you can always upgrade the processor to a Ryzen 2700/2700x but it will only result in around 8 to 10% increase in actual game performance (depending on the game), which is not worth it, honestly, considering you can even find a Ryzen 2700 in the local market without the inflated price tag.

Avoid AMD simply because there is going to be no warranty on the motherboard, the processors almost never fail but motherboard's do and with a AMD board you are probably not going to get any warranty.

It's a 9-month-old used system, what warranty would he get be getting anyway. And I am not sure if Asus motherboards fail. I got one, served me since 2014 and running great still.

According to Pakistanistores,

Ryzen 2600x: PKR 36,000
Mobo: PKR 21,000
RAM: PKR 24,000
HDD: PKR 5,000
PSU: PKR 8,500
Case: PKR 6,800
GPU: PKR 59,900
TOTAL: 161,200

Prices seem fine to me. if you want, negotiate till 130k. Do ask for a checking warranty from the guy. Happy gaming.

Choice of parts is very good and the fact that system is fairly new, 9 months are nothing. What I would think is, take that system minus the gpu and buy rtx2060 at the same price. Rest is damn fine.

    What is peoples obsession with Battle Royale genre. 6 minutes to find a match, 3 minutes to setup a match, 2 minutes to land, 10 minutes for scavanging maybe 2 3 gunfigts and its over. Multiplayer landscape is looking absolute dogshit.
    I tried playing Apex Legends once. Couldn't find a gun for 5 minutes straight. If I found a gun, I couldn't find the right ammo for it. Got killed fighting with my fists. Uninstalled it the next day.

    I usually stay away from animes. Vinland saga changed the way i look at my life, and my experiences within. I recommend every breathing human being to watch this animated masterpiece at least once fromstart to finish.
    After I watched it, I never felt like i watched a show. It was a friggin journey. I got way too attached to Thorfinn and seeing him grow up and find himself and get rid of all the negativity inside of him was just pure bliss.

    With how great cod warzone has translated onto mobile. Mainstream Consoles have lost its value even further. Maybe console gaming was associated with TVs and how TV is not the primary source of media consumption anymore, consoles will lose its 200 million core audiences even further.
