pc build Is this a good budget gaming PC

[9h50pcbuilds]

So, hi. I am in school and on a tight budget and would like to move from using my PS4, Wii and my not the best laptop to a PC. My budget is around 400$ to 420$ My cousin has built some gaming pc before and has gave me a Wi-Fi card and a GTX 950 2GB. When he upgrades one of his PC’s next, he will give me a GTX 1060 6GB. So is this a good budget build. THX for reading and helping.

decent, I'd get a different case/psu, and a B350 motherboard.

It's a matter of weeks, they'll be announced in a few days then go on the market soon after. keep an eye on computex news, see what AMD puts out there, and watch as pricing on current gen Ryzen falls to make room for the new stuff.

You could always try to find a used machine with an older i7 that'll be fine and potentially very cheap.

Otherwise you're going to want a B450 board with a decent VRM at minimum, 3000mhz RAM is going to be useful.

And you probably don't need an extra case fan. Can even just not use a case if you have to, to get a better CPU or Motherboard.

Why B450 vs b350 and others

an extra case fan helps, ive found that in cases with 1-2 fans, an extra one can reduce temps 2-5 degrees.

Just leave the side panel off to reduce tempature

 

B450 allows for overclocking, and a decent VRM is good for future upgrades. Pretty much no one should buy an A chipset board, and I think a lot are going to be missing Ryzen 3000 support.

Not even remotely dangerously lol

You just open Ryzen master, set the voltage to 1.375V or maybe 1.3V with the stock fan, and the frequency to between 3800-4000mhz and run cinebench a few times.

I'd also highly suggest saving up in general if possible, to get at least an R5 1600 6 core, but I don't know what the price jump would be.

@Streetguru ok thx

If nothing else at least get a 240GB SSD in there so you don't immediately run out of space.

Ryzen Master is a faff, might as well just go in the BIOS and do it there.

At this price point, you'll end up with much better performance if you buy used components. 

Check your local classifieds, you might be surprised at what you'll fine.
