Any recommendations/changes for my build?

[L0m]

Hey everyone, any suggestions?

*All prices are in Aud

Some background info:

Spoiler

 

Location: Australia

Budget:$400

Purpose: I currently have an old dell 755 with a q6600/gt 710 and want to get into more pc gaming, basic music production (and maybe game developing) for cheap while being heavily up-gradable for the future.

Games: CSGO, Brawlhalla, Overwatch and For Honor  (I already play CSGO and Brawlhalla)

 

 

The Parts I've Chosen:

CPU

Spoiler

AMD Athlon 200GE - $79

I chose this because the vega 3 graphics looks like it will be able to handle the games above (bar For Honor) and it is the cheapest am4 chip brand new allowing me to buy now upgrade kater

Motherboard

Spoiler

Asrock A320M-HDV R4.0 - $74

Cheapest am4 motherboard I could find as the motherboard would be pretty temporary. 

Ram

Spoiler

Dual Channel Kingston Fury 8gb kit - $72

Dual channel 'cause of the igpu

Cooler

Spoiler

Cooler master Hyper H411R - $29

Case

Spoiler

Thermaltake versa H18 - $49

PSU

Spoiler

Corsair VS450 - $49

SSD

Spoiler

WD Green 240gb SSD - $43

 

Total Price=$395

+ Ebay Windows 10 key

GTX 710 in your primary build in on par with the vega 3 graphics found on 200ge. I'll highly recommend to get at least a r3 1200 coupled with a b350/450 board. I don't recommend a320 boards because of its lack of upgradability and no overclocking support.

 

So, get a deal on r3 1200 + b450 board on Gumtree or ebay and you should be fine.

Or else..

Also, get a better power supply.

YOur build will mos tlikely wouldnt stand long. can you increase the budget little bit?

[SupaKomputa]

Don't use the A320 motherboard. If you can invest in a B450 or a B350 minimum. It's okay to cheap out most of the thing, but at least you can get a upgradability.

 

No need to buy a Heatsink, the heatsink is already in the package, a small one but its enough. You can get the $29 for the motherboard.

I ran that psu for 5 years now from FX to my 1600.

It's not a great psu, but it worked.

I read at the bottom of the page that a heat sink isn't included

Ok, thank you everyone for your so far advice.

Most of the PSUs are fine, unless you put power hungry parts on it.

I ran a diablotek PSU for around 1year in my 2200g system which I sold 2 months ago.
