New to Pc building. Would appreciate tips.

[Freeshavacado]

Hello, I just built a pc online and with my lack of knowledge I have a feeling it's not great. I have around $950 to spend and I was wondering if it was suitable for 1080p on titles like apex legends. This will probably be the most technically demanding game I run. Do you think there are any parts I need to upgrade/downgrade to stay around the same budget?

The 2600 is both cheaper and better

unless you really like the look, you should cut it out of the budget to save some money for the rest of the build

low end asus boards are generally overpriced

for a mere $10 more, you can get an RX 580 8GB which annihilates the 1050 ti, or for less money you can get an RX 570 which still leaves it in the dust.

The Thermaltake Smart is unfortunately a terrible PSU. To learn a bit more about PSUs, check out the links in my signature below, clicking my PSU takes you to the PSU tier list, and also clicking the other links will take you to various topics relevant to the forum.

Check out this build. I went with a cheaper SSD that will yield the same experience and shaves some cost off, grabbed a higher quality PSU and motherboard, and tossed in an RX 580. You still have the budget for the water cooler if you really want it, but low end water coolers are never worth it in my opinion.

this is more of an aesthetics build but it will perform well and faster

I will give some tips but first, just watch this video so you know everything NOT to do.

 there are a lot of trolls in this forum that will tell you to put tons of thermal paste. Put only a little bit if your cooler doesn't already have some.

 

Also im not so impressed with the GPU, i would personally get this rx 580 https://amzn.to/2IqTjUN, as it is only $169.99 at the moment.

 

Also i havent tried this ssd, but it seems good, so might be worth a shot https://amzn.to/30MT7Fx

 

It appears you cant use that CPU cooler in that case

 

I also found a better cpu on amazon https://amzn.to/333KQPh

 

im outta time, ill try to come back later. I encourage you to use Amazon smile. it is the same items and same prices but amazon donates .5% of what you pay to any charity. gtg now bye..
