Hey everyone! I'm considering getting back into PC building and I found a seller on Facebook Marketplace offering a PC setup for around 2000 MYR (about 470 USD). Here's the specs:
- **CPU**: AMD Ryzen 7 5700X3D (one year old)
- **Motherboard**: Gigabyte B450 AORUS M
- **GPU**: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 6GB
- **RAM**: 2x8GB DDR4-2133MHz (I plan to replace this with my old 2x8GB 3200MHz kit)
- **Storage**: 500 GB SSD (plus I have a Gen 3 1TB NVMe)
- **Cooler**: 240mm AIO liquid cooler from Thermalright (two years old)
- **Power Supply**: Not specified
- **Case**: Mid-tower case
Additionally, it comes with some peripherals:
- **Monitor**: Hugon 24" 240Hz IPS (budget brand, about two years old)
- **Monitor Arm**: North Bayou dual monitor arm
- **Microphone**: HyperX Cam Solo
- **Webcam**: 720p Logitech Webcam
- **Mouse**: Razer Death Adder Pro
- **Keyboard**: Keychron mechanical keyboard
- **Controllers**: Two wireless game controllers
I'm thinking of selling the RTX 2060 to fund a better GPU like a used 7800XT or new 9060XT. I'm also looking into case options, possibly a Lian Li A3 or Tecware Fusion 2 Air. My main games are Dota 2 and I'm getting into MH Wilds, and I enjoy building PCs as a hobby. Total cost for upgrades might be around 3000 to 3500 MYR (700 to 825 USD).
Do you think this setup is worth it, or would it be better to invest in a new AM5 build?

Honestly, for that price and all those extras, I'd say go for it! Just remember to get a faster RAM kit—maybe aim for 2x16GB. It'll really help your gaming performance!
That looks like a solid deal! You have a good starting point, and your upgrade plans sound smart. The Ryzen 7 is still pretty powerful, even with the RTX 2060. Just make sure to swap that RAM out for something faster; 3200MHz should be better for your setup!
Great advice! Should I stick with 3200MHz RAM or consider going up to 3600MHz?
