Hey everyone,

ADATA XPG SX8200 Pro M.2 for M.2

AMD processor likes the frequency of the ram to be Above 3600Mhz... around 3733 is best price/performance ratio...


That's all I can add... the rest is reasonably priced and i like how well rounded the build is.

What parts would you guys recommend. The pc will be used for very light gaming, photography & Overall just fast & not laggy

 

[kevinburrow]

The parts you have listed will be fine for your needs, aside from surely needing a bigger Hard Drive if you don't have one already. Only other thing is that you might not need the CPU cooler unless you plan on overclocking.

Iv got my final build parts together, what wattage power supply would i need for this build.

You might want to orient your build about photoshop processing and not for gaming.
Here is a link to considerations:
https://www.pugetsystems.com/recomm...-Adobe-Photoshop-139/Hardware-Recommendations

Some points:
A large amount of ram is useful.
More than 8 cores is not that helpful.
The CUDA capability of nvidia cards can be useful; but the number of cuda cores is more important than the gaming performance.

Just gave more ssd storage, imo better ram, and a good price performance psu. Don't think it's that much more than your original.

You could add this gpu if you want to spend the extra cash,
PNY GeForce RTX 2060 6 GB XLR8 Gaming Overclocked Edition Video Card (VCG20606SFPPB-O) - PCPartPicker
for the extra money good added performance, but don't know if you need it.

If really wanting to spend less would you need to look into Ryzen 1600AF or gtx 1650 Super, maybe even other motherboard, but gpu or cpu will give less performance.

Is the Adata SPX8200 not good? i see you have suggester crucial p1 or the a2000. Surely the adata has faster read/write speeds?

In some benchmarks yes does it better, comes price performance in play and whether you really will notice the difference in speed. if you can get a 512gb Adata SPX8200 for about the same money do go for it, but if it's alot more money (and from what i've found it is) then would i just pick the Kingston.
Choice is yours, so yes the Adata is mostly faster or as fast.

Crucial P1 is not bad at all either. It may be bit slower then others but is also lower priced. And also don't skip on WD Black. Which is very decent. To be hones no matter what SSD one picks it will not be a big performance hit. Just make sure it is of decent quality and have decent reviews.
