Just want clarification here on a new build...

[Brennan Price]

Hello,

So my friend has recently bought the components for a gaming PC but personally I think he has been advised to buy the wrong stuff especially as Ryzen is now out. He had £850 to spend but his friend told him to get an FX 9590 instead...

 

Neither PC has Windows 10 on it but keys can be bought for cheap anyway these days.

 

Here is the system that he has bought for £840:

 

 

Here is the system that I planned that think he should get instead (also for £840 with postage):

 

 

Please tell me here that what I planned is the much better system overall. (I know the 1060 would outperform the 1050Ti but I mean mainly in CPU intensive tasks and gaming)

 

Thanks, BP.

Only 1 image posted (Would assume yours has the 1600), but that looks good. Definitely going to be better than using an FX.

a 9590 is like an i3 and uses lots of power and you have no upgrade path

Your build would be much better, though would be worth pushing for a 6GB 1060 if you can (3GB isnt really enough Vram anymore).

Yeah that's true, although I think his main game would be CSGO (and other older games like LFD2 etc) plus few newer titles so it should be perfectly fine I think. A 6GB variant could be an upgrade path later down the line if he needs it.

Yeah so why is your friend buying old things? A lot of the parts your friend 'listed' is at least a few generations behind IIRC

That is exactly what I said but he wouldn't believe me. He even got two more friends of his to prove me wrong (because they are stuck up) but I know what I am talking about and they didn't like that. They got their way in the end.

Well first of all I know how it feels dealing with bs "techguys" I even made a thread about it about a year ago go look up BS IT guy's claim (I don't remember what it's called)

Hahaha no I get you. My friends Discord server is full of guys like that and I got kicked from it for saying what I said in this topic/thread. 

 

Also your thread: 

Really gave me quite the laugh ???

Since he bought his PC and wasted his money, guess it doesn't matter now but this is what I would of gone with for 840.
