Maximum Value PC Build by a Software Engineer - Complete PC Build Guide
Ғылым және технология
I am the QuanticDev, a senior software engineer with education in semiconductor physics and electronics, and today I will show you my recent maximum value PC build. I am a long time Mac and Linux user on the laptop side for my software engineering tasks, but I am tired of the fan noise. So, I decided to create a desktop build and get the maximum bang for my buck, while retaining great upgradability. PassMark benchmark software has a great website where you can keep track of the price/performance index of CPUs and GPUs that are available on the market, so I used that to choose the components. Keep in mind that PassMark is a synthetic benchmark, so it will match workstation workloads like programming and graphics design better than gaming.

Here is my guide for installing Manjaro Linux for scratch and preparing it programming: kzread.info/dash/bejne/aHVs1NmRYq2YeKQ.html Also I forgot to clarify my mobo choice so here it is: X570/B550 mobos are slightly more expensive than X470/B450 counterparts, but they are future-proof and have excellent VRMs (voltage regulator module) in general, so you will be upgrade-safe. Also, I went with a full-ATX mobo for future expandability, which should come in handy for future media work.
This is a great video. Thanks a lot. :)
Nice build! If someone is looking for a more portable solution I strongly recommend for going with AsRock Deskmini X300 motherboards. I managed to get a Ryzen 4350G/32GB DDR4/256GB SSD build for just under 700$ (not including keyboard, monitors,..etc). Surprisingly for me I had less issues with Ryzen Graphics than with Nvidia on Ubuntu. The thermal performance of the noctua cooler is also very good, no matter how much stress I put on the system.

Yes, I highly approve of AsRock Deskmini AMD series. I actually strongly considered buying one of those and be done with it instead of assembling one myself. I ended up with a big chassis just in case I needed massive amounts of storage in the future. X300 looks especially good, since it seems to have support for latest gen Ryzens. Enjoy!
Glad I found this video, I have been struggling to find good resources for figuring out a PC build that isn't either "gaming" or "web browsing build for your Grandma". Why did you steer away from Intel?

Ryzen 5000 series has much better value and multi core performance than Intel ones
Nice build, it will be breeze after noisy macbook :)
Is it what is good?
Exactly what I was looking for. Almost every PC build is like gaming ones or budget gaming ones. Few questions, - why Ryzen 5 instead of 7? - is it necessary to have a discrete GPU, if I don't game on the PC and no video editing, etc? Or is integrated okay?

probably the gen that motherboard supports, isnt higher than gen 3 or 4

sir i am a beginner can you plz tell me that for coding only can i go with a lowest powered graphics card (GT 710) or chose at least GTX 1050ti with ryzen 5 2600 plz reply

You can buy a CPU that has built-in GPU like Ryzen 3200G for $100 and you will get amazing value. I have a GTX 1060 in my computer, that is never used more than 10% so choose the lowest graphics card you can if you are not planning on doing graphics/gaming. Good luck.
