CPU for office work and gaming
-
Good morning. I have a pc that I was given in 2015 because the company I worked for was being liquidated, it was a Lenovo E31 2553 (xeon) to which I first increased the Ram and then I put an Nvidia gtx 1050 ti and a 500 gb Ssd. Until now it has served me very well but I can see that it is time to change it (only. Cpu). I wanted your advice. I will use it for office work and to play at 1080p (without ruling out more resolution if I change the monitor). Something with a good quality price ratio because it seems that the prices of the components are now reasonable. I had thought of something like this although I am open to advice
-Cpu Ryzen 5 6500?
-Ram 16 Gb ddr4 or 5 (what you tell me)
-Motherboard without wifi (what you tell me)
-Graphics card doubt 3060 ti or Rx 6700
-Case what you tell me but without colorful party.
-Disk nmv2 of 1tbIn summary a team of good quality price ratio. If for price and service you comment on a place to buy the components I would also appreciate it. I would assemble the cpu myself as I have already assembled several.
Best regards

If you put a budget better.
DDR 4 or DDR5...
Or what is the same AMD 4 or AMD 5..
In AMD 4 you will find top-of-the-range micros at a very good price. The RAM is the same, but you have to look if an AMD 4 with top-of-the-range components (or almost) performs the same as an AMD 5 mid-range. I don't know if I explain myself.
In RAM more or less the price of DDR5 is stabilizing although something that personally amuses me is the CL in DDR3. Some decent ones were single-digit. Nowadays in DDR5 they go for two digits and the first is usually higher than 2.
With the GPU and mn2 you have two problems if you want to take advantage of the new PCI E you have to assemble a GPU series 7000 and go through the case.
And the mn2 of the new generation is already giving temperature problems and they are starting to "melt"
Brands like Corsair are already taking care of their health and are capping the speed to avoid RMA.
So...
About the tower... For me it is an investment for a long future and I would not skimp on that.
Personally I like Corsair but I would not buy mine again because... I got into AIO for the CPU and it has become small for my taste and it is a series 5000 with that I tell you everything (it is also true that I am very "geeky")
And you leave an important point...
The F.A. which is very important.

I agree that the race for ssd performance is exaggerated, the most cutting-edge is unnecessary, and even so, the one hundred/one hundred and a little that already go should have a well-ventilated tower, but they are enough for the average mortal.
The thing about wasting the pcie gen 5 bus because the graphics don't use it is that you shouldn't buy a motherboard with gen 5 expressly when a gen 4 one could serve you and you won't use it with either the ssd or the gpu.
The thing about the best price/performance ratio, which is what you're asking about, is that you caught me off guard.
But for the graphics you mention, a micro of the order of a ryzen 5 that is not basic is enough.If you search for the components on google, you will immediately see the store that interests you (so I don't say names) and if you post your proposals we can suggest some more concrete changes, what do you think?

Hello.
Seeing that you are not following it, and from the micro you were coming from, if you want something moderate for that graphics you mention, I can suggest a Ryzen 5 3600, it has 64 mb of cache and is priced low.
with a motherboard with 550 chipset and with ddr4.
It would be very economical and would be suitable for the graphics you mention.
Regarding the two graphics, one does ray tracing and the other does not. with the amd there is no ray tracing, but for now you won't notice it too much and it's a bit more powerful in the basic work.
If you were to get into more graphics, or if you want the pc to be busy with things that are a bit thick while you play, then I think you would need more micro (more cores) or if you put more graphics it would be more frequency and more cores even.
With that config and an rtx 2060 that runs at 2000Mhz you can play wonderfully comfortably for example Borderlands 3 at 1080p.
To play for example Cyberpunk I can't tell you yet as I don't have the game optimized and the graphics look ugly, but the micro apparently runs well.
If you want more rig, and taking advantage of the fact that prices are better, you could get into a series 5000 or even a 7000, depending on budget, but moderate with the micro and board if it's for playing, since the graphics will be the central part in that case, and the rest only has to accompany.
Regards.
PD: the motherboard for example an msi gaming or a gigabyte gaming, that has heatsinks on the mosfet as a minimum.
