Building a PC

[NinjaX]

Hey everyone So I am in process of selling my PS4 and joining the PC master race and thus I have opted in to build my own darn pc. Please note that I prolly won't be able to wait for ryzen as I am planning on building this later April early May. I am planning on spending around $300

I think considering the price you are going for, it is pretty good, though i would probably go for this cpu: Intel Pentium G4620 3.7GHz Dual-Core Processor  ($92.88 @ OutletPC) since it has 4 threads instead of just two, which should enable you to run most games. GTA and other AAA games need a quadcore, so your dual core will only cut it for those lightweight games like csgo, rocketleague etc., but not for the bigger titles. BTW get a normal HDD instead of a SSD (yours btw is not priced in your list. with it you wouldgo far beyond your current budget..)

The SSD is enough for a while, that is almost as expensive as an i3 so why? Always get the SSD before HDD if you can't afford both at the same time.

First you claim the deepcool DQ-ST is crap without any evidence simply because the G2 is better, and now you claim the rx 460 is better than the gtx 1050, again without any evidence while every review shows the gtx 1050 beating the rx 460.

You can get it if you want but your parts have no color matching lol

And by a significant margin too, it's not like the 480 vs 1060... @Daniel Z.

So i should go with 1050? and I wont look at the PC I promise I will get a 60ft hdmi/vga cable and burry the darn thing underground!

[Princess Luna]

Most brand new h110 motherboards nowadays already comes with updated BIOs get the g4560 indeed.

The 1050 constantly outperforms it and even the 4gb variant, get the gtx 1050 unless you're strapped for cash.
