Cousins PC
2 hours ago, Fasade said:Hello, I am trying to build a PC for my little cousin. He is not really into PC hardware and he wants it mainly for gaming.
I will go with Ryzen in order not to change anything major in the future and it's gonna be my first Ryzen build so I need some tips of what/if am doing wrong.
I remember that you had to patch bios on some Ryzen cpu/mobo and I don't want to go that way if possible.
Specs:
CPU: Ryzen 5 1400 (109€)
MOBO: Asrock Fatal1ty B450 Gaming K4 (83€)
RAM: Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB DDR4-3200MHz (117€)
PSU: Corsair RMx Series RM650x (140mm) (97,13)
Cooler/Case/Storage/GPU: (Will depend on remaining money)
Update: new things
CPU: Ryzen 5 2600
MOBO: Gigabyte B450 Aorus Pro (rev. 1.0) (It was 20€ cheaper than Tomahawk)
RAM: G.Skill 16GB-3000MHz
PSU: Be Quiet Power 9 600W (It was the same price as the ones you guys suggested)
STORAGE: Crucial MX500 250GB, Barracuda 2TB cheapest 7200RPM from a "respectable" company
Case: Fractal Design Focus G
GPU: Gigabyte 1660 Ti Windforce (We don't have KFA2 here but the gigabyte was 20€ more)
Total Price: 891.14€ each coming from a different shop so the price will go down when I see which shop has more than one part of the build
EDIT: The budget us around 850-900 euros in Greece, the parts above are around 400€ and we are left with 400+ for cooler/case/storage/gpu.
EDIT2: change of plans.

Not sure how pricing works in Europe, but I would do this. Not sure of the quality of the PSU picked by the other person/this is a really good budget one, this case has better airflow, 16gbs is a tad overkill, liquid cooling is not needed as the stock cooler with this CPU is more than enough if you're not doing any OCing, this drive is probably more than enough, and the mobo will probably last you longer with upgrades due to the VRMs. Could probably fit a meshify c over that one case I picked for better airflow if you desired and better management.
I don't know how to tag in order to see the new edit that I did on the starting post so this will do.
