BULDING FIRST PC (MID-RANGE GAMING)

[tukykarmakar]

Hey guys,

I haven't built any PC before and I am willing to get any suggestion possible to maximize the use of my first build. I have people to help me build the PC but I need help with the components.

This build is for leisure only. I'm happy with medium graphics settings, but I want high frame-rates(>= 60) and no stutter.

Here are the two builds I've come up with from PC Part picker.

AMD: https://in.pcpartpicker.com/list/VQ92fH

• AMD - Ryzen 5 2600X 3.6 GHz 6-Core Processor
• MSI - B450M GAMING PLUS Micro ATX AM4 Motherboard
• Corsair - Vengeance LPX 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR4-2400 Memory
• Samsung - 860 Evo 500 GB 2.5" Solid State Drive
• Seagate - Barracuda 2 TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive
• EVGA - GeForce GTX 1060 3GB 3 GB GAMING Video Card
• Cooler Master - K380 ATX Mid Tower Case
• Cooler Master - Elite Power 400 W ATX Power Supply

Intel: https://in.pcpartpicker.com/list/P4ZmxG

• Intel - Core i5-7600K 3.8 GHz Quad-Core Processor
• Zalman - CNPS80F CPU Cooler
• MSI - B250M PRO-VD Micro ATX LGA1151 Motherboard
• Crucial - 16 GB (1 x 16 GB) DDR4-2133 Memory
• Transcend - 256 GB 2.5" Solid State Drive
• Seagate - Barracuda 2 TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive
• Zotac - GeForce GTX 1050 Ti 4 GB Mini Video Card
• Deepcool - SMARTER MicroATX Mini Tower Case
• Cooler Master - Elite Power 400 W ATX Power Supply

 

1. Budget and Place

Budget is INR 90,000 (excluding peripherals, have them planned for later) and location is India. Would love it if  one or two peripherals fit in.

 

2. Aim

Mostly gaming, occasional casual video editing and gameplay recording.

I don't need high detailed beautiful graphics with everything at Ultra settings. I need smooth performance with good frame rates (>= 60) and no stutters at 1080p minimum, happy with medium settings. I mostly play fast-paced games like racing and shooter, mostly racing.

Sometimes I would like to record my gameplays and edit them to share with friends, nothing professional.

 

3. Monitors

ONE! I'm happy with 1080p but need refresh rates greater than 60 Hz. Would go for a FreeSync if I go for the AMD build as it's cheaper.

Not planning to buy a monitor right now, it can wait.

 

4. Peripherals

The usual peripherals, Monitor, Mouse, Keyboard and Headset. However, I'm not planning to buy them with the PC yet, they can wait.

 

Mouse: Any mouse with >1000 DPI, scroll wheel and forward and backward buttons.

Keyboard: A full-size backlit mechanical keyboard, no lighting effects needed. I type in the dark, just need to see the keys and I use numpad often.

Headset: A simple headset to communicate with my squad. I don't want any rubber coating to come off the foam and get in my ears, I had the experience.

Monitor: 1080p, >= 60Hz refresh rate, FreeSync for the AMD build.

 

Everything listed above are the minimum requirements and I'm happy with them. The cheaper the better.

 

5. Upgrade

This is my first PC build. I'll be saving up for upgrades as I keep using my first build, but I'm very tight on money.

 

Thanks y'all!

get a 2600 instead of 2600x and OC it

 

2x4 ddr4 3000 or 2666 mhz is better

 

rx 580 8gb maybe? or gtx 1060 6gb?

 

a 500w PSU would be better

Looks okay to me, but I would invite you to go slightly over budget for a few major improvements:

Ryzen supports much higher frequency ram, so choosing 3000mhz over 2400mhz will earn you ~5 more FPS already.

 

Also, I would go with a 1060 6gb instead of the 3 gb. Nvidia doesn't very easily disclose this, but the 1060 6gb actually has a bit of a clock boost, along with the memory upgrade. A 1060 6gb is much more future-proof than a 1060 3gb.
