entry level gaming rig

[Thick Face Black Heart]

Thinking of trying my hand at building at entry level gaming rig, purely for the fun of assembling it myself.

Am undecided between Intel and AMD.

Should I go for Ryzen 2200G + B450M chipset motherboard (eg, Gigabyte B450M DS3H)

or should I go for Pentium G5400 + H310 chipset motherboard (eg, AsRock H310 G/M.2), some cash to spare to throw in a cheap graphics card like a GTX 1050 later on.

The eternal battle between Intel and AMD.

My goal is to create a rig that can play simpler games like CS Go plus some Python programming experimenting with deep convolutional nets.

Most entry level notebooks can do that. No need to fuss over the specs.

I build a lot of gaming rigs since time began. Now I just use a Lenovo gaming notebook bec I travel to play games.

To build a gaming PC, I recommend
-Intel i5 and above processor
-Gigabyte motherboard, that B450M DS3H is good enuf. This motherboard is ultra durable.
-8GB Ram
-512GB SSD (solid state drive) This is the most important bec it's the bottleneck, the slowest component in your gaming system
-any GTX 1050 graphics card (but don't get MSI bec it is buggy and when the video card is buggy, the PC will have intermittent problems until you throw the damn card away.)
- of cos Windows 10

I recommend using StartIsBack for your Windows 10, to get the classic Start menu. Cracked version available if you don't want to pay.

Another thing: I do not recommend being stingy when purchasing your power supply unit. Buy a reputable brand with a high efficiency rating, forget about those brandless cheap ones. Modular or not modular up to you. It'll save you plenty of annoyances down the road.

Rather watch Linus Tech tips than read a bunch of juvenile postings

Thanks for da input.

I use HDD purely for archival purposes nowadays. Thanks for the heads up on MSI too. I see a lot of good Youtubers using it.

Planning dual boot, Windoze and Linux, may actually spend more time in Linux as a hobby

for gaming cpu, either a ryzen 9 3969x or core i9-9969k will be great. former only usd499.99 at best buy and latter only usd494.99 at walmart. forget the pentium g5400. anything 54 these days can be a disappointment.

Only aiming for an entry level rig as far as gaming is concerned.

In any case, will be looking to get a good nvidia card later to use the CUDA technology for machine learning prototyping/inferencing

In the USA you guys have proper respectable departmental stores specializing in hardware. SG is damn far behind in this. All the good custom-build companies here have to import their wares

Sim Lim type of stores should still be good. Give u a price list u pick and choose to what to assemble. Cant go wrong when u do most or all at once. Ang mor the videos to elucate u is to upsell u more exp things. That is why 10k bicycles and spandex suits exists in the two wheeler world. People love to talk more than they love cycling.

be careful when you buy cpu, gpu and motherboards online. a lot of rejects, defects, and fakes.

That's why I buy and support local mom and pop hardware stores which are willing to provide their own guarantee for the products.

most likely obsolete stuff from 16.9 years ago. his pants has lasted for 36.9 years.
