First PC build (noob)

[TheFishBucket]

I want to know if this is a good PCPP list. The price is $750USD, but I can get it all for $650 at MicroCenter. 

 

I plan on heavy gaming, no streaming or editing, just heavy gaming at 1080p 120hz or 4K 60.

 

Is this build worth it for $650? 

 

Does the the motherboard have enough fan headers? I heard something about RGB headers, does the motherboard have those and will it work? Also will I be able to overclock the GPU & CPU?

 

Please feel free to make some changes if you think it’ll be better! I already have a 1TB SSD hence why I didn’t add one in the list.

Thanks!!

I would go with a Ryzen 5 2600 and maybe spend a bit more money on a quality power suppy.

But all in all a nice build  I would personally not buy the RX580 and go with a second hard graphics card or a new RTX2060 about 50% faster for 100$ more.

like csgo or overwatch? Because the RX 580 isnt doing near 120fps at 1080p in AAA games, let alone 4k 60.

That motherboard does indeed have RGB headers that should work with compatible devices

 

There are 4/5 fan headers, that should be plenty, 1/2 for your cpu, 2 for front or top intakes and 1 for exhaust (slight positive pressure, should help keep some dust out)

 

You can overclock on the B450 chipset and the CPU is overclockable

 

Don't know about the GPU, but I see no reason why not.

How about 1080p 60? I already have a 1080p60 monitor, I was planning on upgrading up to a better monitor but I guess I won’t be needing to upgrade; because the GPU won’t be able to get those results. Thanks!!

The price in his pricepicker shows close to 300$ so even less then 100$ extra

Thanks! But how was that PSU bad? It was 500w and semi modular. I’ll go ahead and buy the one you recommended me, but do you know exactly what cables are on it?

quality on the PSU you chose was awful and the semi-modularity is simply not worth it.

id recommend this one minimum if you are doing 4K gaming. 

 

the vega 64 isnt exactly quiet. but it is rather cheap atm and a very good deal.

That GPU is way too expensive for me lol.

Do you know what cables are on the PSU you recommmended me?

everything you are going to need.

 

but it is 2 8 pin connectors for the GPU and 1 8 pin for the CPU. then in addition youve got the usual. 

 

essentially everything you will need

if you are aiming for 4k. that is essentially the GPU you should hit. the rx 580 does 4k medium at 30hz last time i checked.

That's fine. Just stick with the rx 580 for 200 and you should be ready to go for 1080p 60fps gaming.

be that as it may, it is 2 8 stick connectors for the GPU and 1 8 stick for the CPU. at that point what's more youve got the standard thing. 

basically all that you will require

Also i think you quoted the wrong thing.....
