PC Component suggestion

[Comrade Jayray]

Hey everyone, how's your day?

So basically i am building a PC using PCPartPicker, i have chosen some components and am wanting everyones Input on if i am going wrong somewhere.

I am wanting to build a PC primarily used for gaming 1080p,60fps, max settings. I am not really interested in 4k. I have a budget of £1000, but i can stretch to £1100 if needed. Though i'd like to be around the £1000 mark.

I will post my PCPartPicker link, and i'd like everyones opinion.

My main questions are 1. Is this Solid? 2. Can i save money anywhere? 3. 1700x or 2700x for the £85 price difference?

Wait for July 7th. Zen 2 comes out then.

 

Also, since you are in England I assume, use uk.pcpartpicker.com to get UK pricing.

2700X's have been going for $200-250 and Vega 56 has been going for $280-300 for like a year now. I'd try to skip the slow 2TB drive, pick up a 1TB M.2 for about the same price(of both) and if you need more storage down the road you can always add drives.

 

Also brand new AMD cpus and gpus which are going to be significantly faster in every single way are coming out in just 2-3 days, please don't pay MSRP for previous gen parts.

 

At this price point, I'd recommend to fit a monitor upgrade to 1080p144 or 1440p144 in somewhere. Even with a 2600x and a slower gpu, I think you'd be much happier with getting more of your performance in games out into the physical space with a monitor which can actually display the frames you're getting than pretty much bottlenecking all of the parts you actually interact with.

Yeah maybe getting a better monitor would be a good idea.

And oh really? I mean sure i can wait for the 3000 series to come out, but again i only have around £1000, so hopefully the price isn't bank breaking.

The Vega 56 seems promising. Though if the Vega 64 drops in price, i may get that instead.

Swap out the 2700X for a 3700X when they release. If you are just gaming then you could opt for the 3600/X.

@lee32uk

I might have to take your advice on that. The 3700x's price is around the same as the 2700x's.

Though i am wondering how hot it will run. I hope the Dark rock 4 can hold it.

Will they be a noticeable difference between both CPU's?

The 3700X shouldn't run that hot. Probably be similar to the R7 2700. The Arctic Freezer should handle it fine.

 

There should be an improvement from a 2700X to a 3700X. Reviews should be out on or just before the 7th depending on the embargo date.

Wait a few days for both parts, also you'll need to update the bios before using the B450 board.

[Comrade Jayray]

@Herman Mcpootis it looks like a solid build. But the one thing I won’t touch is the bios. Outside of booting from my USB to put windows on. I try not to go there.

 

its super intimidating and I dislike the idea of accidentally messing something up and not being able to put it back, or worse yet, bricking the mobo

you will need to spend more on an X570 board which will cost a lot more if you don't want to touch the bios, or find a computer store that can update it for you. i doubt current stocks will have the new bios but you can check with the seller to be sure. MSI's B450 boards have BIOS update buttons that make it easier for you to update it.
