Help WIth New Build

[simon212]

Hi Guys, I'm building my first pc soon and I have a budget of £650, however I don't know what GPU to get and I'm stuck between a ryzen 2400g or a 1600x. Can people help me find out parts that would be well suited for the build.

How will the system be used? What resolution is your monitor? What games, if any do you play?

CSGO, Fortnite, Apex Legends, GTA V and at 1080p

I've played CS:GO on an overclocked Ryzen 3 2200G (integrated graphics only) and it played pretty darn good. What I'd do is get the 2400G, modestly overclock the RAM and integrated graphics and see if it is up to par.  I believe the performance of the igpu is fairly close to that of a GT 1030. If it isn't able to play 1080 at an acceptable framerate, buy a RX 570 or RX 580 graphics card (between $100-160 U.S dollars)...they are dirt cheap now. I have a RX 570 paired with a 2400G and 8 gb of RAM and am able to play 1080p and Oculus games quite comfortably. I believe the entire system (minus the Oculus Rift) was just over $500 U.S. dollars.

I'm assuming you don't want peripherals, just the PC, This should perform great in all the games you mentioned at 1080p

Also you should be aware that Ryzen 3rd Gen should be releasing soon, and it's supposed to bring more performance to the table, but if you don't care about that then go ahead, i'm just informing you.
