M.A.P got a reaction from Jaok in A 300$ budget build (Opinions needed)
I think you are paying a little bit more for psu. Don't get me wrong it is a very good PSU but there are other alternatives. I feel CX 450(2017) Gives very good value for the money and for half the price.

@Jaok A small suggestion if you just want to game at 720p 300$ budget is useless 200-250 should be more than enough.

No you can leave it the smallest possible size. Hardware Unboxed proved that. Basically if needed the apu will automatically take the needed amount but if we allocated 2gb then the 2gb will stay reserved out of the total memory

I think we can get better psu for 3-5 bucks more

His list itself was 312$ so you can add a case in you list without any problem, there are decent cases for 20-25$

Yep but these lists basically can do 720P 144Hz but yeah these are future proof

Agreed but according to his requirements all the lists we gave are overkill he mentioned that he'll play at 720p and all our lists are capable of 1080p

Yeah prebuilt is also a good one but.. the products are old like 2 or 3rd gen max 4th gen processors for i series and maybe 6-7th for pentium

After researching about the ram most of the people are able to use it at 2933MHZ without any issues after few bios updates, some even OCed it to 3200 MHZ and this case bios is already updated to even support ryzen 2000 series you can save 5-7 $ by going with other board but the compatibility is not mentioned so you might face a problem if the board comes with outdated bios. This motherboard is guaranteed to support 2nd gen. You asked for a 60HZ 720p gaming I gave you a one for 1080p 60-75hz gaming

I would say that it is very good laptop. It is very thin at the same time has GTX 1070 and i7-8750H with 144hz full hd panel.
If you are particular about resolution then

A bumped 15x is having same 8750h and 1070 but with 4k uhd panel.

N950TP6 with GTX 1060 and other enthusiast models like P750TM/P775TM/P870TM
Do you need portability? If yes, go for laptop. If not then desktop. W650KK1 is the only choice I can think if you have only $600 to spend on a gaming laptop. Socketed CPU means you can change the G4560/G4600 to an i7 7700 in future, however I would not advise swapping CPU more than 65W TDP rating since the mobo and cooling may not be able to handle it. This model needs repaste. The 2c4t Kaby Lake Pentium CPU should not bottleneck the 1050TI in most cases so don't worry. If desktop, get a 2400G+high speed memory and slap a decent GPU into the system when GPU prices goes normal again. The Vega iGPU should be able to handle most games at least at lowest settings, 720p.
Getting a gaming laptop or gaming prebuilt desktop seems a right choice now since RAM and GPU prices are inflated heavily.

You'd want an APU anyways because they replaced the other R3 and R5 chips, but if you're buying an APU you don't really need to get a dedicated GPU.

The 560 won't allow you to game for even 2 years, though. Just get a 2200G or 2400G and get a GPU down the line when prices are more friendly.

M.A.P reacted to Streetguru in Planning to build a PC or Laptop
Right but instead of $160 for an RX 560 right now, if you can save up like $250-300 when next gen GPUs drop that gets you performance above an RX 580 or 1060 at least.

M.A.P got a reaction from redzmegz in GPU vs ram
I would try to focus more on GPU, reducing out a bit on other parts I would spend 35 to 60% of budget to the GPU and then plan for the remaining parts. But still at least 8GB of RAM is required for AAA games nowadays.
