Do AMD Ryzen 7 8700G and Ryzen 5 8600G processors have enough power in gaming to make you forget about the video card?

We adore PCs outfitted with the latest and most high-performance components, running games at the highest possible FPS in 4K resolution. However, what do you do when your gaming budget doesn’t stretch beyond the price of a second-hand flagship phone? AMD addresses this question and caters to budget-conscious gamers and casual players by introducing the 8000G Series. This series could serve as a…

The post about computer-building resources was SUPER helpful!!!! thank you so much!!!

I know that the way to go for desktops tends to be to build your own- but I've always been a bit preferential to laptops!

AFAIK, there aren't really a ton of resources for how to build your own laptop... would you happen to know of any? Is building a custom laptop something you would recommend, or not really?

I dont know much about vuilding a custom laptop, sorry! I do know that you'll need entirely different parts, like a mobile gpu and ram, but beyond that, Im about as lost as you. If you ask me, though, laptops are only good for business if you need important work to be portable, as they tend to overheat (especially ones from Apple, Dell, and HP). If you want a gaming rig or other and you want it to be small or convenient, I'd consider also looking at Mini-ITX from PCs! They're just ubder a cubic foot and can be just about as powerful as you want (unless you're rich enough to want a Threadripper build)

TLDR, sorry, I got bothing about laptops.

I did hear that there are a few cool nodular gaming laptops, though. Might want to check those out.

ASRock Launches DeskMini & DeskMeet X600 PCs

The DeskMini & DeskMeet X600 PCs from ASRock, which are compatible with AMD Ryzen 8000G Desktop APUs, have finally been released.

Ready AMD Ryzen 8000G APU ASRock DeskMini and DeskMeet X600 Computers Featuring X600 Motherboards Released

Since Computex last year, we have been waiting to see the ASRock DeskMeet & DeskMini X600 series in action, and now that time is almost here. The company has revealed the two PCs that, depending on your preference, will come with AMD’s Ryzen 8000G APUs or the standard Ryzen 7000 CPUs. In terms of power and cooling capacity, these Mini PCs start with the 65W series.

What can we anticipate from the updated lineup? The newest X600 PCH-less motherboards, which are intended to make use of the onboard CPU I/O capabilities to power the connectivity needs such as USB, PCIe, memory, etc., will be available in the ASRock DeskMeet and DeskMini X600 series. The AMD Ryzen 7000 Embedded CPU lineup and the X600 PCH activator can be used to accomplish this. The boards will be available in mATX and Mini-ITX configurations, featuring the AMD AM5 socket and supporting up to four DDR5 slots for a maximum capacity of 256 GB. The boards will also support M.2 Gen5 SSDs, but PCIe 4.0 is the maximum discrete graphics capability available.

If there is enough room inside the chassis, you can still use these to power up an NVIDIA RTX 4090 graphics card. However, you would need to retrofit the PC with your own SFX power supply because the 500W ATX unit that comes with these PCs shouldn’t be sufficient for that use. This is why there are versions of these that are pre-equipped and barebones. Additional features include two SATA ports and support for 2.5 GbE LAN, providing you with enough I/O for standard office and gaming tasks.

Among the many exciting features of the DeskMeet X600 series are four DDR5 memory modules up to 256GB, PCIe 5.0 technology for M.2 SSD, and Dragon 2.5G Ethernet. Additionally, the 500W ATX Power supply’s fan has been tuned for better and more efficient thermal performance. The DeskMeet X600 series is the ideal option for constructing a potent but reasonably priced content creation and AI system because it supports PCIe 4.0 graphics cards.

The first AMD AM5 Mini STX Platform in the world is the DeskMini X600 series. It offers two DDR5 SO-DIMMs and an AMD AM5 65W CPU, providing exceptional processing and graphics performance. For maximum expandability and functionality in a small package, the DeskMini X600 series includes two SATA ports, two M.2 slots with blazing M.2 Gen5 SSD, super-fast 2.5G LAN, and three video outputs.

The DeskMeet and DeskMini X600 series benefit greatly from support for AMD Ryzen 8000G APUs because you can use the integrated RDNA 3 GPU, which is still more than capable of handling productivity and content creation tasks, instead of worrying about discrete graphics cards. The final costs of these PCs have not yet been disclosed by ASRock.

What’s in a Computer 101

Motherboard - everything plugs into this. It makes sure every part talks nicely to each other.

CPU - brain of the computer. Roughly, bigger numbers = more brainpower

GPU - makes the pictures happen. Again, bigger numbers roughly equal more picture power.

RAM - short term memory. More of this means more things can happen at once. This is what gets eat by your open google chrome tags and makes things slower.

Storage - long term memory. Where you store all your downloaded but unplayed steam games.

PSU - UNLIMITED POWER. Nah but this is your battery and what makes sure all the pieces can turn on. Make sure it’s big enough and do not under any circumstances cheap out on this if buying separately. A cheap psu will explode.

Cooling - power=heat. More power means more cooling. There’s a ton of options.

Case - what everything goes into. Size matters. Make sure it’s big enough.

Motherboard - This determines the kind of cpu you can purchase because they fit into the board differently. They have different stuff going on depending on how much you want to spend. Basic boards will do what you want, but they may look busier and be lacking things you want (like a million usb connections or internal Wi-Fi).

They come in different sizes. Micro-ITX is itty bitty. Surprisingly, this does not mean cheaper. Then it’s mini-ATX. Both mini and micro will be lacking the extra PCIE slots that let you plug in things like multiple graphics cards or a Wi-Fi board if your motherboard doesn’t have that capability built-in. ATX is your standard size motherboard. Then it’s E-ATX. You can have More Stuff on this one. It’s big.

Pick a motherboard that has the functionality you want on it. You gotta make that choice based on your budget and on the other parts we’ll talk about in a minute.

You don’t really get to pick this for a laptop though.

CPU - There are two companies that make computer brains: Intel and AMD. They are in a constant fight to be the company with the most powerful brain. Their number schemes are weird. Intel is i3-, i5-, i7-, and i9- followed by some very large number. The general rule is the bigger the number, the more it can handle. AMD has the 3000,5000, and 7000 series. Again, bigger number, better performance. Bigger number also means more money. AMD had better cost/performance ratios when I built my stuff, but unless you’re aiming for the top tier of performance, the difference honestly isn’t that noticeable between companies.

GPU -On a pc, this will be your most expensive component. Again, bigger numbers = better performance = more money. There are two companies for graphic processing units: AMD and NVIDIA. NVIDIA has the RTX line or cards. The most recent is their 4000 series (4060,4070,4080,4090) and AMD’s 7000 series (7600 and 7000) Radeon cards are their competition. Again, unless you are aiming for The Best, you will not necessarily notice a difference and there ain’t no god damn reason to buy the 4090 or 7900 unless you have $2k USD burning a hole in your pocket.

The NVIDIA 3000 series and AMD 6000 series will be cheaper and work just fine. All of NVIDIA’s cards since the 3000 series have raytracing which is a fancy lighting thing big games use right now. It’s pretty and you do actually notice the difference. AMD’s lower tier cards don’t. I believe NVIDIA is sorta winning the performance fight right now but like I said. Unless you are going for ultra/elite settings on everything with 4k resolution… you’re not noticing a difference at medium/high at 1080p between any given company. You can also find older, used cards for cheaper that work just fine. Be careful that they weren’t used for mining though. They tend to be busted.

RAM - You want as much of this as you can get. 8 GB is not enough if you want to have more than one tab open in google chrome. 16 is the bare minimum for gaming. Pretty much anything new is gonna require 16GB of ram. Some people are starting to say 32 is now the thing you should aim for. Considering how cheap ram is right now, it’s probably worth it just as games get more demanding. This is less true for laptops because everything is more expensive in a laptop.

This also has to be compatible with your cpu so if you buy parts individually, you gotta do some digging on the CPU’s support list via your motherboard support site with the ram’s serial numbers to make sure it’ll work. This is not a concern with prebuilt machines like laptops or prebuilt pcs.

They also have different speeds if you want to make things go faster but that’s more advanced than I’m getting into here

Storage - There are three types of storage right now: hard drives, SSDs and M.2 SSDS. Hard drives are slower and physical. They’re cheap, good for massive storage. Not good for putting your operating system (windows, Linux, etc.) on if you want it to move quickly. SSDs - faster than hard drives, digital storage, and more expensive than hard drives. M.2 - looks like a stick of gum. Plugs into your motherboard directly (no wires), super fast. The most expensive. Laptops run off M.2s for space reasons. This makes more storage more expensive. You will need a lot of storage if you are running modern AAA games. They’re chunky now. 1000 GB makes 1 TB - most AAA games live in the land of 150 GB at least now.

PSU - power supply. Your graphics card is gonna determine this the most. But the more powerful your machine, the more power you need. This is the place you never, ever, ever cheap out. A bad power supply can blow up. Literally. Best case scenario with that is the computer you just bought is dead. Laptops don’t let you pick this. Instead you get averages of battery life. More battery life means less time plugged into a wall.

Cooling - how to keep your computer from dying from the heat. This will depend a Lot on your person preferences but also on the power of machine. Power=heat. The more powerful your machine, the more cooling you need. Entry level CPUs come with coolers. The more mid-tier and high-tier tell you to buy your own. You have two routes: air and water cooling. Air uses metal pipes and fans. Noctua is the brand everyone swears by and it’s the brand I bought when I upgraded my machine. They’re pricey, but they really are fantastic. They will also send you pieces later down the road if you upgrade your machine to a new cpu with different dimension so their cooler can still fit. Their site also has a bunch of graphs and charts and stuff to help you pick which of their coolers is best for your machine. Water cooling uses a bunch of tubes filled with water to pick up the heat and carry it to a big metal thing (radiator) that you attach fans to to blow out the hot air. It’s quieter than an air cooler, and you can do all this crazy custom stuff with it. Or you can buy an AIO (all-in-one) that just needs to be attached to your case and a fan. People fight about whether air or water cooling is better. All I know is that I don’t risk spilling water on my electronics with one. So that’s the route I go.

Laptops have their own thing going. They’ve got air cooling with little fans inside the case. More powerful laptops sometimes allow you to external coolers to help offset the heat. I would suggest these. Don’t fry your laptop.

Case - where you put everything. Laptops give you very little choice here and they all basically have the same shape. Gaming laptops are gonna have a certain Aesthetic that I can only describe as red/rainbow and Pointy. They tend to be a bit aggressive in their appearance. This is true for most gamer things and it’s hard to get around.

PC cases are mostly the same shape (rectangle) but have more variety in color and layout. That’s all personal preference though. but they’ve got stuff you gotta pay attention to. Namely their size. You gotta fit all your stuff inside it. Tiny cases will not fit an ATX motherboard. A giant case will fit everything but may also be bigger than you’d like. Basically, you gotta look at the dimensions of your other parts (the gpu and cooler mostly) and compare it to the case dimensions so everything fits. Prebuilt pcs take care of this for you.

My current rig

Motherboard: Aorus b450 pro Wi-Fi

CPU: Ryzen 7 5800X

GPU: NVIDIA RTX 3060ti

RAM: 16 GB

Storage: Samsung 860 EVO 1 TB SSD (2 of these, actually)

PSU: Corsair 650w

Cooling: Noctua NH-D15s (and a bunch of cheap upHere fans for my case)

Case: a Montech something-or-another that’s cheap and not made anymore from what I can tell

My rig can play Jedi:Survivor on high settings with ray tracing on at 1080p with no real issues. I want to do some upgrades, but that’s me chasing those insane top of the line rigs. I dont need to do that by any means. I can play any game that comes out in the next few years just fine.

ROG M.2 PowerBoost Lets Install 7 M.2 SSDs On Motherboard

We have some excellent news, regardless of your motivation. More M.2 drives may now be installed in a single system than ever before with ROG M.2 PowerBoost technology, which is available on some ROG Z890 motherboards.

Riding the rails with ROG M.2 PowerBoost 

Two factors available PCIe lanes and power constraints limited the number of M.2 slots that traditional motherboard designs could offer. With more PCIe lanes than previous generations, Z890 motherboards raise the ante, but power is still an issue.

All M.2 SSDs on conventional motherboards are powered by the +3V rail, which has a restricted current capacity. The maximum number of drives that can be installed without overloading is hard-limited by this architecture. In severe situations, power shortages may cause instability or performance decreases on a PC with numerous M.2 SSDs installed when storage-intensive activities are being performed.

By rerouting power to the PCIe 5.0 slots via an integrated 12V to 3.3V converter, ROG M.2 PowerBoost circumvents these restrictions and enables even the most demanding drives to draw on a steady supply of power. Up to seven M.2 drives operating at maximum performance without power constraints are supported by ROG motherboards with ROG M.2 PowerBoost with this architecture.

ROG M.2 PowerBoost offers more advantages than just increasing the quantity of games you can play. By lowering the possibility of performance bottlenecks and guaranteeing that even the most demanding PCIe 5.0 M.2 SSDs have a steady supply of the power they require, this new design can continue to function at a high level. Your drives will last longer because to that stability, which is also beneficial to their health.

For those who have a stack of M.2 drives from earlier PC setups, ROG M.2 PowerBoost also provides a great deal of ease. You have two options: either install the old drives in your new PC or put in the effort to combine that data onto new, bigger drives.

Storage upgrades across the ROG Z890 motherboard lineup 

Our most recent ROG Z890 motherboards provide unprecedented storage capacity thanks to ROG M.2 PowerBoost. Three of the six M.2 slots available on ROG Maximus Z890 motherboards are wired for PCIe 5.0, whereas the previous generation of ROG Maximus motherboards could only have five M.2 slots per board.

With Z890, ROG Strix motherboards will also have more storage. Check out the ROG Strix Z890-E Gaming WiFi, which has seven M.2 slots in total three of which support the newest PCIe 5.0 SSDs if you’re a fan of blazingly fast storage. This motherboard is ideal if you have a fever and additional M.2 slots are the sole treatment prescribed.

The ROG Strix Z890-E Gaming WiFi and ROG Maximus Z890 boards are the only ones having ROG M.2 PowerBoost, however the others have improved storage. ROG Strix Z890-F and Z890-A Gaming WiFis have a PCIe 5.0 M.2 slot but the same amount of slots as their predecessors. The tiny Mini-ITX ROG Strix Z890-I Gaming WiFi has two PCIe 5.0 M.2 slots and more. The M.2 Q-Release Duo is a unique space-saving technology that allows for two M.2 slots with dedicated heatsinks without displacing other important components on this tiny motherboard. One of these spaces is very simple to reach for rapid upgrades with the M.2 Q-Release Duo.
