Gaming PC Vs. Gaming Laptop

Good Luck! Also if possible, see if you could stretch your budget a bit to get a 2070 instead of a 2060.

Also, in 2 weeks Ryzen 3000 is also getting laucnhed, so see if you can hang on untill then.

Thank you. And yes I was thinking of a 2070 instead of a 2060 since I heard some people doesn't like it? for some reason? I don't know, but the problem is the 2070 is like 110$ more expensive than the 2060, and I doubt I have any left over more money more than 20$.. But I will see what I can do.

I will be probably sticking with the I5-9400F, because Ryzen 3000 processors are going to take 2 weeks for release and they will certainly take a couple weeks/months to arrive to my country(same happens with everything new lol). And I am trying to get my PC as soon as possible because I'll be VERY busy after like a month or so.

It's pointless to go with Intel right now to be honest, the fact is that when Ryzen do indeed release in a couple of weeks, Intel will drop prices and it will benefit you.  If I were you, I'd sit tight for 2 more weeks, you may get your parts cheaper.
How much does a 1660ti cost in your country? Why not choose that one over RTX 2060?

Hello there,

Well, I didn't buy anything yet. I was and still considering my choices because of the new AMD/Nvidia GPUs and the new AMD arsenal of overpowered CPUs.

When I knew that I will probably go with an I5, I was not satisfied enough, I needed more power. Budget was/is tight and that is why I am currently waiting for the new AMD CPUs.

Literally what I was thinking about, intel is facing a hard time and I didn't like the idea of getting an I5. So, I am waiting for the new AMD CPUs.

I don't know well about these new CPUs, people say that they are going live today? I don't know, rumors say that the R5 3600 is worth 199$? Which is worth more than my I5-9400F, but outperforms the I5-9600K, which is good news. Well, I can manage and extra 50$, probably.

And I doubt the 1660ti is available in my country? Mainly because it is mostly used in Gaming Laptops? I don't know I should ask, I guess it is available but not that popular. And I want the RTX 2060 because I mean it is an RTX, it outperforms the 1660ti slightly more and has the new ray tracing tech which is kinda useless because it drains the hell out of the FPS, but I like it.

So, I am probably going with an RTX 2060 SUPER 8Gig and an AMD 3600X or normal 3600. Here is the problem, this is kinda 100$ above the budget and I am probably going to downgrade the power supply or something else, UNLESS the CPU prices are less than expected, then I am all happy.


I need your help guys, I am going to copy-paste SOME the info about what I was originally trying to buy, so can you please look if I can downgrade something? (I updated the new stuff, CPU and GPU)...

Processor, I am probably going with an AMD R5 3600/3600X.

For the motherboard, he chose the Intel Z370 for me because I had no idea about what motherboard should I get.

For the ram, I chose 8x2 16GB DDR4, I don't know about the brand, he didn't write that on the paper.

For the storage solutions, I went for a 512GB 4th Gen N.V.M.E2. It is cheap in my country, which surprised me. Probably gonna go add another storage solution later.

For the graphics card, I am probably going with an RTX 2060 Super 8GB.

For the power supply, he chose a 650w Gigabyte power supply for me, I don't know about these stuff.

For the case, it is the AC300 from Aorus.

Heres my thought.

3600/3600x both are a great value (and its only 10% price different, at least here) so you can choose any depending upon your budget. (Also outperforming the 9700k in some cases, not all)

About the motherboard, older chipsets like x470 will work, but I would suggest staying upto date with the x570 series just to avoid any future disappointment (I have had it in my past so saying haha)

The case, the Aorus is a good looking case but it comes with an acrylic case which can get scratched pretty easily, and also will start looking dull as time passes. It will be better to go with a tempered glass case (if you looking to make a rgb build ofc). And if you are not looking for a showcase PC, then the corsair 100R or 200R will be the best choice (depending on its availability at your place). If you looking to showcase, I can suggest Antec NX200, it comes with tempered glass and is decent looking, and costs only around 40$-50$. The case is much better when looking at its price point and the fact that its tempered glass and RGB both. (maybe used the saved money to get the x570 MotherBoard or extra ram or better gpu idk)

For the powersupply, go with and Gold rated or higher. Corsair will be the best option if availabe (on my personal experience)

For the RAM, currently ram prices have significantly dropped recently, a corsair vengeance16gb 3200mhz (8gb x2) is currently available at a price of around 100$.

Sorry for the late reply, here is what I am going to do;

I am gonna go again to that local shop I know, I heard he is doing some discounts for certain people. Because I wanna ask him about the new AMD CPUs and GPUs. He is an expert and I just yesterday heard that he was running his shop from 2011, which is a very long while ago. Probably older than any Computer Parts/Consoles shop in my hole country so he is an expert, certainly.

I will take his advice, because the parts we have in my country price differs like ALOT, might be cheaper or might be more expensive on amazon, so I am in no way able to pick a build online, no way.

Yeah so I'll talk to him when I go to the city and I will inform you guys what happened. Thank you.

I'll just say this: if you are a student, or going to be a student soon without a place of pernament residence (dormitory does not count),  a desktop PC is a very unpractical solution for several reasons.

You've no idea how much does a laptop help during studies. Not only will you need it, you will also embrace it. Instead of carrying twenty notepads and ten books how you used to back in school, you'll be able to carry a single laptop to take notes, read and use material.
