RAM: G-Skill 2x8GB DDR4-3600
GPU: Asus TUF RTX 2060 OC
SSD: Samsung 860 Evo 500GB
HDD: Seagate Barracuda 1TB
PSU: Corsair CX650M semi-modular
Case: Corsair 275R Airflow (3x120mm)

Bought everything except the GPU from PCHub in Gilmore. They still offer the best prices for most parts.

I don’t expect GPU prices to stabilize anytime in the next 6 months so better to have a card now to enjoy gaming than to wait. If not urgent naman, then can wait it out I guess.

4.5k difference - CPU is 2.5k cheaper, board is also 2k cheaper. Same speed lang.

4.5k is the upgrade from 1660 Super to 2060 already which is a much more tangible upgrade.

2060 = 23k
3060 = 33k

Huge price difference hehe. Budget for this rig was 50k, stretched to 60k to have higher quality parts.

Requirement of the end user (my cousin) is 1080p gaming lang naman. The 2060 can still do that very well.
