    Part list is private so we can’t view it...
     
    but I would recommend waiting until tomorrow when Ryzen 3000 is launched.

    star_pilot475 got a reaction from Faisal A in My first build. Is this the best option for the price?   
    @Pedro Costa wait until tomorrow for Ryzen 3000!

    This looks really solid! Probably gonna be the best you’re gonna get for $500
     
    edit: I would REALLY recommend that you get an ssd. It really helps speed up the whole machine, otherwise it'll just feel sluggish and slow running off an hdd. Maybe just get a $20 120gb ssd??

    Right now is not a good time, seeing as ryzen 3000 comes out in a week. But it's a very well balanced build except for the lack of SSD. It's very dramatic in everyday use.

    star_pilot475 reacted to Princess Luna in Is this combo worth 150 dollars?   
    As much as the FX9590 is unimpressive today, considering all the stuff you're getting yeah I'd be okay paying $150 on it.

    Should be able to find an Athlon 200GE for about $50 on eBay. They're solid newer chips that could be upgraded in the future.

    star_pilot475 reacted to Lord Mirdalan in Motherboard advice needed, Last time   
    If it's a 7700, then it's non-overclockable. It will "turbo boost" above its' rated base clock, but won't allow for manual overclocking.
     
    Edit: @star_pilot475 said it better.

    It should just be on the side of the power supply itself. Look for a sticker.

    If it came with a prebuilt, it could be kinda bad, depends on what kinda prebuilt we're talking about.

    Should say on the label. If it's a prebuilt system, you should be able to see it by opening the side panel.
     
    Wattage isn't your only concern, you'll also need the appropriate PCIe power connectors.
     
     
    Both  the RTX 2060 and GTX 1070ti need a single 8-pin PCIe power connector. Looks like this:

    Since I don't really know what your preference is on games, I am going to recommend Subnautica. Great game, and so pretty. I personally loved the gameplay and how scary and intense it could be at times.

    star_pilot475 reacted to NunoLava1998 in Is my hdd bottlenecking my pc   
    It's possible, but probably not.
    Even then, an upgrade to an SSD will be monumental. When I upgraded from my HDD to an SSD, it was legitimately one of the biggest upgrades for my PC.

    That, get that if you want new and kick ass. Older parts can yield some better performance but you're really at the mercy of Lady Luck and whatever ends up in your lap.

    You might experience a little bottleneck, but it shouldn’t be too noticeable. 

    what’s your total budget for this build?
