Hi Guys,

 

Trying to rebuild my system after my graphic card blew out. Please find below my current system(which is ancient)

 

CPU: AMD Phenom II x4 955 BE

Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo

Motherboard: GA-970A-DS3P rev 1.0

RAM: 8GB (4 x2 sticks)

GPU: R7 260X (blown out)

PSU: Corsair CX500

Cabinet: Cooler Master HAF 912

HDD: WD 2 TB

 

So I haven't built a system for years, I'll need some suggestions for a very budget build. I am planning to upgrade to the Ryzen 5 3600 but open to any other processors in that range with better performance.

 

I mostly play games at 1080p connected to Sony 43" TV. Can you suggest the best motherboard RAM GPU and storage which i can get for basic gaming.

Regards,

A.

I'd wait for AIB models to come out, like that Sapphire Pulse model that seems to hover around the MSRP of the reference card

Since OP is on a budget It'd probably be better to go for a 3600 instead, that slight clock increase isn't worth it for $40

Maybe a case with better airflow will be better since Ryzen clocks based on temps? Might want good airflow to keep temps down on the CPU so it clocks as high as possible

CX550M is good enough at that wattage

EDIT: I now realise OP's from India. Case availability isn't good so H500 should suffice

I'm surprised how bad of a build he managed to put together. Here is some tweaked versions.

The 3600 is faster than the 9400F, the 590 is the same or better than the 1660 yet cheaper. The PSU won't cause a fire and you have fast RAM on a decent board.

What's your budget?

Around 400-700$ but keeping it to the minimum would be good.

 

Will be using the same Cooler Master HAF 912 case if that's not a problem 
 

Also is it good to go for 2700 vs 3600?

Video Card: AMD Radeon RX 580 8GB (11000 CeX) - Its a used one but will get 2 yrs of warranty

 

I am just confused with the motherboard now, can you guys help pick from one of the below: 

B450 Motherboards

Power phase Motherboard Price
6 ASUS PRIME B450M-K 69.99
7 ASRock B450M-HDV 69.99

  • Outdated CPU? It's still a pretty solid CPU, even by today's standards. Moreover it's around $50 cheaper than R5 3600. I'd go with a 9400f if I am on a budget and I prefer gaming as my main objective.
  • How come it is an overpriced board. Most boards are available at that price.
  • Slow memory? B365 chipset can take 2666mhz memory at Max and Intel isn't affected much by memory speeds when compared to AMD.
  • Overpriced card? $200 for a 1660 seems fine to me. It trade blows with similarly priced RX590. A used RX580 should be a better value in my opinion.
  • I'd agree with the comment that you made on that power supply.

  • Go with the MSI B450-A Pro, it supports BIOS flashback. You can update the BIOS without a CPU.
  • I'll highly recommend getting an SSD. Get this one https://www.amazon.in/dp/B0786QNS9B/?tag=pcp03-21
  • You can go with R5 1600/2600 if you want to cut down the cost.
