Is this pc good for 1000$?

[asdfety04]

Hey guys I'm from the Philippines, and I'm planning on building a 1000$ desktop build.
I want it to be able to play at 2k resolution and atleast have 60fps in high-ultra settings.

Do you think this is achievable with these specs? 

Do you guys have any suggestions?

 

SPECS:

CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 2600 = PhP 10,640~202$

MOBO: ASRock B450 Pro = PhP 4580~87$

RAM: 16gb (dual) ddr4 2666 Tforce Delta RGB, Black = PhP 7670~145$

HDD: 1TB Seagate Barracuda = PhP 2250~50$

GPU: Asus RX VEGA 56 STRIX OC Gaming = PhP 18,710~355$

SSD: Geil Zenith R3 SSD 480gb = PhP 3500~66$

PSU: Seasonic S12II, 620watts PSU, 80 bronze = PhP 3350~64$

CASE: Tecware Nexus M = PhP 1600~30$

TOTAL: PhP 52,300/999$

 

Thanks in advance!

you might want to change that ram to some 3000+ mhz for ryzen, that psu is pretty bad. here's why

 

the case is pretty cheap, but that's less of a problem, never used GEIL for ssd's, so don't know about those.

mobo and cpu are great choises

gpu is a good one too

Looks good. I would try get a used 1070 for 250$ and upgrade to the Ryzen 7 1700.

Also, with ryzen, you want to get faster RAM (at least 3000 mhz).

Thanks for the reply, 

 

Hmmmmm, shouldn't I just OC the ram to 3000mhz?

Do you have any suggestions for the PSU that wouldn't cost a lot?

Performance should come before Aesthetics, Ryzen needs at least 3000mhz memory to perform at its peak.

Ancient PSU that shouldn't be bought brand new anymore.

 

That aside the build looks very promising.

I'm going to buy a freesync monitor that's why I'm going for rx vega 56

Hmmm, Idk about the ryzen 7 1700. I don't really do a lot of editing/rendering stuffs, so I don't know if I'll benefit from it.

yeah, that's fine too. but as far as I know is t-force using 3th line hynix, which overclock little. 3000+ mhz costs just a little more most of the times.

tier 3/c+ is a safe baseline. I personally like the cx(m) series

more and more games are getting optimised for 8c/16t. if the difference is small, I would go for it

You won't, the Ryzen 5 2600 will grant you superior single thread performance which is what games want.

for about 2-3 years. after that a 1700 will probebly win in games

Negative, first of all about 95% of all games are still coded to favour quad-cores, reason why that's not enough any more is because we have the system and side/background stuff running what turns 6 cores processors desirable so you have the full 4 cores for gaming and the other 2 for the remaining stuff.

 

Single thread performance will ALWAYS be more important provided you at least have enough # of threads, which the 2600 does, simply because all the game engines that are significant will require it, multi-threading a game is far harder than people seem to realize.

 

People used to try justifying the FX-8350 over the i7 2600K with this "games will use more cores/threads in the future" well we all know where that went, even now that we have some justification to have more than just 4 cores, it's single thread performance is so LOW already it simply is obsolete.

 

Same thing will happen with the Ryzen 7 1700 if you buy it expecting this, by the time it could make a difference, we already have extremely superior products in the market and you're likely upgrading either ways.

 

The TL:DR is , you don't tell OP to buy something that will perform worse on all the games made previously to 2018, will still perform worse on the following few years, just because maybe here in 3 years it could (only on those newest releases) perform better.

 

You buy the Ryzen 7 1700 or 2700 if you have a true need for the extra cores Today.

yeah, fair enough. not that both are bad cpu's. both are great imo

Yeaaahh I think I'll just go with the 2600 since it's cheaper by 50$

Well I've decided to replace the ram and psu.
Is this good enough?

RAM: 16gb (dual) ddr4 3000 Tforce Night Hawk RGB, Black HS = PhP 8170~155$

PSU: Corsair 550watts PSU,CX550M, 80 bronze, semi modular = PhP 3850~64$

Oh yes it's certainly better now.

yep, nothing wrong with it imo. personally a user of that exact psu
