    Unfortunately Mighty Ape is not one of the places where you can get computer components decently priced , but I put together a list for you

    Since u said u already have a system im going to assume u could possibly reuse ur case , power supply and as u mentioned ur SSD

    For ur Mighty ape balance

    Motherboard - https://www.mightyape.co.nz/product/asus-prime-b550m-a-wifi-… - $285
    Ram - https://www.mightyape.co.nz/product/16gb-teamgroup-t-force-d… - $119 (Cheapest dual channel on MA)
    Cooler - https://www.mightyape.co.nz/product/360mm-xigmatek-aurora-36… - $119
    Graphic Card - https://www.mightyape.co.nz/product/nvidia-geforce-gtx-1660-… - $494 (GPU market is still stupidly priced)
    Storage - https://www.mightyape.co.nz/product/1tb-seagate-barracuda-72… - $79 (Use SSD as ur bootup drive and this as mass storage)
    Total - $1096

    For ur Paypal balance-

    CPU - https://www.pbtech.co.nz/product/CPUAMD05800X/AMD-Ryzen-7-58… ( I probably chuck in the extra $200 and get the 5800X3D)

    • thank u

      • If you already have a ryzen PC you could most likely just swap out the cpu (you will need to update your bios first), GPU and potentially power supply. Listing your current PC specs would help. I would not buy the GPU listed above, a 3060 can be found elsewhere for only 70ish more which is a much better card.

        • ryzen 5 2400g apu vega 11
          2x 8gb ddr4 3200 ram
          256gb ssd
          1tb hdd
          1tb hdd

          • @jamesdeal: What is your motherboard and power supply model?

    Mightyape also do a price match/beat so i would look for the parts cheaper elsewhere and get them to try beat it

    • cool thanks never thought of that

        if they don't then also maybe consider using the credit on things like desks, boom mics, monitor mounts etc
        (Since kogan owns mightape now you'll see a lot of kogan stuff on there)

        and then just get a new cpu and gpu from where ever its cheapest (including 2nd hand)

  • Can you use the mightyape credit on the mightyape market place?
    I have a 12600k I could put on there if you were interested, but you would have to buy a new motherboard, probably better off staying AMD if you current Mobo is good enough.
    I also have a RTX 3060 I'm thinking of selling, but looks like they don't have my exact model so I can't put it on there.
