Yea it says it’s an LED IPS

Quick question for anyone to answer. Would it be smart to wait for the new 9th gen CPU’s like the i5 9400 instead of using the i5 8400. Also is their any news of them being compatible with B360 boards. I am aware that as of now it’s only a rumor to be releasing August 1.

@Herman Mcpootis @Fullmental After recieving both of your recommendations I decided to look and see what changes I could make and have it linked below. My question for you guys is would it be smart to go with the monitor I have linked as a temporary one, and any final advice?

And should any other fans be necessary.

I’m actually lost can you list it. Thank you.

Yea I see your point. Well thanks for the advice tho.

Just wondering, because this is a big concern when I see a 1070 a higher end graphics card. Would it be bottlenecking with the setup you have listed?

I haven’t really done my research on Radeon RX 580’s but would you say that it’s a better alternative to than a 1060 or 1070?

Wow wasn’t expecting this kind of a in depth of an explanation you’ve really got me sold on this part list you’ve put together, and see what you mean about going for cheaper parts. Thanks for the response.

Would you be willing to recommend a better build for the price?

1. Budget & Location My budget goal is $1200 or less this is for a whole setup including All peripherals minus the speakers. My location is the United States. 2. Aim My aim is to build a Gaming rig that can play at 1080 p with above decent gaming peripherals. What I will be typically doing on the PC is using Spotify, YouTube and Long gaming sessions. The games I plan to play are listed below with the preferred settings and FPS AAA Titles (Med- High settings and 70+ FPS GTA 5 Rainbow Six Siege The Division 2 ( when it comes out) Pubg Less Demanding Games( VeryHigh-Ultra/Max with 200+FPS) CS:GO Leauge of Legends GMod 3. Monitors I plan to play one one monitor and continue to only use one monitor not planning to add more for the future 4. Peripherals Yes, I need peripherals and an OS. For the peripherals I would like them to be better than decent because I’m going to be playing a lot of competitive games and don’t want to have trash peripherals. 5. Why are you upgrading? I’ve been playing on a laptop for 5+ years now and while it’s still decent I only run 30fps on CS:GO and I guess you can see what the problem would be if I tried any AAA titles. Also it’s shuts down from overheating. Other details 1. it’s not my first time building a PC. 2. Staying under $1200 for my ideal setup 3. If possible to find an even cheaper build and receive the same FPS and settings would be amazing. 4. Yes I have done research, but I don’t know exactly if I’m receiving the best bang for my buck since with my 12 hour shift it limits the research I’ve been able to do, my friends recommended I talk to the community of this forum for help. Thank you for any help provided looking forward to join the unique community of PC Gamers I’ve linked the two builds I have create Intel Build PCPartPicker part list: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/wMfdxG Price breakdown by merchant: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/wMfdxG/by_merchant/ CPU: Intel - Core i3-8100 3.6GHz Quad-Core Processor ($118.90 @ B&H) Motherboard: ASRock - B360M Pro4 Micro ATX LGA1151 Motherboard ($68.98 @ Newegg) Memory: Corsair - Vengeance LPX 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR4-2400 Memory ($149.99 @ Amazon) Storage: ADATA - XPG SX6000 256GB M.2-2280 Solid State Drive ($62.99 @ Newegg Marketplace) Storage: Seagate - Barracuda 2TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive ($58.99 @ Amazon) Video Card: EVGA - GeForce GTX 1060 6GB 6GB SC GAMING Video Card ($299.89 @ OutletPC) Case: Thermaltake - Core V21 MicroATX Mini Tower Case ($34.99 @ Newegg) Power Supply: Corsair - CXM 550W 80+ Bronze Certified Semi-Modular ATX Power Supply ($49.99 @ Amazon) Monitor: Acer - GN246HL 24.0" 1920x1080 144Hz Monitor ($193.00 @ B&H) Keyboard: Logitech - G810 Orion Spectrum RGB Wired Gaming Keyboard ($84.99 @ Dell) Mouse: Logitech - G502 Proteus Spectrum Wired Optical Mouse ($49.99 @ Best Buy) Headphones: Kingston - HyperX Cloud II 7.1 Channel Headset ($92.00 @ Newegg Marketplace) Total: $1264.70 Prices include shipping, taxes, and discounts when available Generated by PCPartPicker 2018-07-17 14:28 EDT-0400 Ryzen Build PCPartPicker part list: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/QbtCD2 Price breakdown by merchant: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/QbtCD2/by_merchant/ CPU: AMD - Ryzen 3 1200 3.1GHz Quad-Core Processor ($98.89 @ OutletPC) Motherboard: MSI - B350 PC MATE ATX AM4 Motherboard ($64.99 @ B&H) Memory: G.Skill - Ripjaws V Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR4-3200 Memory ($165.98 @ Newegg Business) Storage: ADATA - XPG SX6000 256GB M.2-2280 Solid State Drive ($62.99 @ Newegg Marketplace) Storage: Seagate - Barracuda 2TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive ($58.99 @ Amazon) Video Card: EVGA - GeForce GTX 1060 6GB 6GB SC GAMING Video Card ($299.89 @ OutletPC) Case: Phanteks - Eclipse P300 Tempered Glass (Black) ATX Mid Tower Case ($49.99 @ Newegg) Power Supply: Corsair - CXM 550W 80+ Bronze Certified Semi-Modular ATX Power Supply ($49.99 @ Amazon) Monitor: Acer - GN246HL 24.0" 1920x1080 144Hz Monitor ($193.00 @ B&H) Keyboard: Logitech - G810 Orion Spectrum RGB Wired Gaming Keyboard ($84.99 @ Dell) Mouse: Logitech - G502 Proteus Spectrum Wired Optical Mouse ($49.99 @ Best Buy) Headphones: Kingston - HyperX Cloud II 7.1 Channel Headset ($92.00 @ Newegg Marketplace) Total: $1271.69 Prices include shipping, taxes, and discounts when available Generated by PCPartPicker 2018-07-17 18:03 EDT-0400
