Hello,
I don't know where to begin but a little intro may be useful. So i'm really into computers and gaming but I don't have the most experience in building them with parts I've picked, that sounds odd but I have pulled computers apart and built some for friends who had a pre-made list of compatible components. I know enough to get by but I need help with knowing what will work at a certain budget. This would be around 600$, there isn't much leeway but if something is necessary I don't see a problem with trying to make it fit or go over the budget a little. (An early note is that I already have a gpu) The entire goal with this build is a nice gaming pc that could possibly stream or record as well. I am not looking for 4k quality on everything or crazy specs. I am just interested in decent quality, I would rather have this for gaming than streaming or recording but want to keep those in mind. I hope that we can find parts that are compatible and in the budget and also can get something that meets the expectations of what I am looking for.
(I can post my current build if that's something that anyone would like to know)
Things that I already have and don't need to worry about:
GPU - GTX 1060 6gb (full size)
Keyboard, Mouse, and Monitor (lg 24m47h-p, may get another)
OS - Windows 10
The build I am aiming for:
Ryzen 5 1600X
Nvidia GTX 1060-6GB (I already own this so I do not include this in the price of the final build)
Kingston SSDNow UV400 120GB
Seagate Barracuda 1TB (2016)
HyperX Fury DDR4 2666 C15 2x8GB
Asus PRIME B350-PLUS
EVGA 550W B3, 80+
ROSEWILL ATX Case
My thoughts:
The first thing I want to be sure about is the motherboard. I am debating between the Asus Prime B350 or MSI B350 Tomahawk. I am unsure what one would be better as doing research has only led me to believe both have their ups and downs (however the Tomahawk is cheaper).
After the motherboard I need to know what CPU. I am looking at the Ryzen 5 1600X, but if it doesn't hurt to go to a lower version that would be cool.
The next thing I would like to do is of course get a bigger SSD in it. However I can live with a 120GB because having my OS on it and maybe my most played games will be just fine.
The last thing I am worried about is the power supply. If that one isn't big enough or could be upgraded that would be cool.
So all that I am looking for would be suggestions to the build like changes or upgrades. I appreciate anyone's time they put into helping.
