In Israel about 5000 ils = 1400$. Intel is very expensive in Israel. This pc with ryzen mb and cpu (1500) will cost around 1200$.

Hello guys. First of all I want you to excuse my English, still can commiunicate propelry though. (only learned English for about a year now).
Recently I decided to come back to pc gaming after 3 years of x360 gaming. I decided to go with 1080P since I was used to lower-end gaming cause of the console.
decided to bang the buck and upgrade a slow old (and extremely dusty) pc so it can run *aa* titles at 60fps.
the pc had an i3 3240, integrated gpu, asus h61m-k mb, a 300 watt psu, and 1tb hdd of storage. My drive was dirty and full of unnecessary apps. Still was able to run tf2. 
I decided to go with a mid-tier gpu, cause luckily my mb supports pci expresse 3. I was afraid my psu will crack under the pressure of a new gpu, (plus the site for the rx 470 recomended 500 watt), so I bought a 520 watt
psu from seasonic. I had 4gb ram. I knew ram does not affect gaming directly, but I think 8 gb is the standart so yes... Bought 4gb of additional ram. Also formatted the drive and added 
*A LIFE SAVER*  ssd. 240gb. 
 
 
 
 
Now I cleaned the old case I had with a duster, installed the ram and connected the cables of the new psu. Connected the ssd. Now came the horrific horror. My gpu was too big for the sata ports that were conveniently placed
very close to the pci slot. I had to buy now sata cables, 90 degrees one. Now that my pc was connected, I booted the OS from a usb and started windows. Formatted the drive and started installing useful applications.
My pc was so fast compared to the old one. The ssd with to OS and the hdd slave worked amazingly. Now for the gaming side of things. I installed some aa games and the pc wrecked 'em. Decided to test some more serious titles, here are the
result:
 
gta v ultra settings, msaa x4  -  44-60 fps   high without msaa  -  75 fps stable
the witcher 3 wild hunt ultra post proccessing high  -  52 fps stable, in novigrad around 43
watch gods 2 -  ultra with bloom and motion blur off  -  50 fps in city, 55 in nature.
fallout 4 with preformence mod - 60 fps.
far cry primal very high  -  55 fps - 60.
far cry 4 max  -  60-70 fps
overwatch  -  75 fps average, but changes with maps.
doom max  -  this one was a blast for me. 100 fps stable with openGL. 
hitman  -  again changes a lot with maps, the italy one runs like sh**, but the others are 55-70 fps, not stable. 
ac syndicate  -  this one is effected a lot by settings. I mixed high with very high and achived around 45 fps, but very smooth.
sniper elite 4  -  65 fps, very stable and smooth.
Dishonored 2 runs 60 fps at most levels, but some dropps a lot. 
just casue 3 -  around 45-52 fps, but with micro stutters.
 
The prefs immpressed me a lot, considering the cpu.
 
another thing, the ssd is so amazing, games load so quick, compared to x360.
 
For conclusion:  pc upgrade costed about 240$, the old pc costed me 300$ in 2013. So happy with results.
 
 
 
That's it, thank you guys for reading. Post what you think about this build below.

That's like asking what's better: a fine house with a shitty car, or a deluxe car with a small dapartment.

i have the exact psu for about a year. it is rly amazing and carried my gtx 1080.

this is not a good build. for 100$ less you can get r5 1600 and gtx 1080, as i did. runs 4k games at 60fps

lol I play games at high-ultra with my i3 3240 rx 470 at around 45-55 fps and titles like ow and doom at 80 but Vram is neccessery for playing AAA titles on high settings.

hey guys. 
just upgraded my ancient pc for gaming needs.
it had 4 gb of ddr3 ram and an ancient i3 3240.
it also didnt have a gpu, so i used the onboard one. 
new i bought a rx 470, 4 gb of ddr3 memory, an ssd and a new power supply. 
The pc rocks! it's very very cheap and gives me great performence, a lot better than my old xbox 360.
witcher 3 - 42-60 fps
gta v - 55-60
fallout 4 - 55-65
doom - 90-130 (well thanks vulkan)
dark souls 3- 45-50
bf 1 - 55-70
hitman - 55-60
just cause 3 - 45-55
watch dogs 2 - 55-60
(everything on high-ultra preset with very cpu deamending options turned off (like post proccesing anti aliasing))

Don't buy the 3gb verison if you want to keep it for 2+years because someday games will need more vram. Rx 480 is better.
