In need of help for a new build

RoyCS

Hey,

 

I'm currently starting to find a new build and I was wondering what the community suggested budget is around £500-£1000 I can be lenient I would like to get the best performance out of my money and have the best that my budget can buy.
It is intended for 95% Gaming and 5% Productivity. 

 

Thanks - Roy

900$, don't know if motherboard is good, PSU should be enough but you have $100 headroom if it is trash. 

Ryzen 5 3600 stock | 2x16GB C13 3200MHz (AFR) | GTX 760 (Sold the VII)| ASUS Prime X570-P | 6TB WD Gold (128MB Cache, 2017)

Samsung 850 EVO 240 GB 

138 is a good number.

@themctipers, that motherboard isn't good. loads of people are having problems with msi and AM4, especially that mobo.

@TheNuzziNuzz, he replied to you.

@op, remember to quote OR tag people so they know that you replied to them.

any brand with a good reputation that fits your budget and has what you want is good enough, unless you really need the gamer a e s t h e t i c s

Sort of hard to go lower than what I have right now... £1039.

It doesn't include anything special like a high quality gaming mouse, but it should be capable of holding you over until you can increase your budget to accommodate a larger budget to afford all your favorite Razer and Corsair gear or what ever you are interested in. This build is more than capable of handling games like Battlefield 1 at ultra settings and 60fps. (video)

 

Hope this helped somewhat. If you have any questions as to why I chose the parts I did I'll do the best to answer them for you.

By the way, I wouldn't try overclocking on the mobo and cooler. If you want to do such, I'd get a Kraken water cooler and a more expensive mobo.

For the love of God don't consider a Kaby Lake i5 right now, Intel's newest line up Coffee Lake is 1 week away from release and it will be insanely better purchase for the same costings.

Coffee Lake isn't available on PCPP rn. Forgot to mention that in my post.

You should never ever advise an i5 7600k regardless, when you want to advise mid to high end Intel Kaby Lake, you do a b250 + i7 7700 always.

Why would you want an i7 with a B250 motherboard? I don't think you even have the option to OC. Wouldn't Z270 be better?

 

And plus, for the price, the 7600k is the best mid-end processor Intel has to offer. OP said he wanted an Intel build (or maybe I just suck at inferring)

*deep breath*

I have lectured people on this so many times.... the i7 7700 easily outperforms the i5 7600k regardless its OC while having the double of threads making better at multi-tasking as well, the i5 7600k is a terrible CPU that will bottleneck a GTX 1070 already, whereas you can pair even a 1080ti with the i7 7700.

 

The costs end up the same or even cheaper since you can save money on cheaper boards and stock cooling, always prefer the locked i7 over overclocking the i5, overclocking only makes sense on high end nowadays on mid to low end you're wasting money.

Coffee Lake is 1 week from release, you're not getting it, in 1 week you can buy an i3 with 4c/8t which is essentially an i7 right now.
