Noob pc help build

[Flossin]

I want to build a gaming pc to run Beamng drive and probably some other titles. Wondering if this is a good start

cpu- AMD R5 2600X

Mobo- Asus ROG Strix  B450-F ,

RAM- G.SKILL Aegis 16GB DDR4 2666 h

GPU- 1070ti (was going to find a used one they're are a few in the area)

PSU-  EVGA 750w 

STOR.- ADATA 512GB SSD SU800 2.5" SATA III (upgrade later for more)

 

Any input would be greatly appreciated.  If I should spend a little more or a little less on somethings. I do want this to last with being able to upgrade and I have thoughts of getting a different cpu cooler to OC down the road. 

 

Thanks to all

That is a pretty good rig for a first timer. I like the fact that you are choosing some previous generation parts. That is a great way to save money. Be very careful with the Used GPU market. They could be quite heavily used if they were a mining card. I'm interested to know what you are going to use for a cooler for your cpu at this stage. Depending on how many games you are going to be installing on your drive, you might want to consider a small SSD for OS and a 2-4tb hdd for regular storage to save money. Titles like Beamng drive won't benefit too much from being on an SSD compared to a title like Metal Gear Solid 5 where it is loading massive amount of data directly from the drive without an internet connection.

What budget/country and what's the actual PSU model?

Would probably just go for an RX 5700, blower models are down to $299, after market heatsinks are at $350-360

Probably just get a 660p SSD as well.

 

and you're going to want 3200mhz CL16 RAM

If that board is $130 it's overpriced, just look at the MSI X470 boards

 

would suggest jumping up to the R7 2700 if you aren't getting an R5 3600 if there's room in the budget.

Budget is flexible didn't put prices more worried about hardware configuration. I understand about gpu mining.  I just don't get why gpu are so freaking expensive i watch some of ltt videos and he quotes a price then I check it on pcpart picker and it's almost double talking about 1080ti in particular isn t that an old card and still costs $1000 it's crazy all i can say is gpu miners can go to #ell. 

    Was going to use a stock cooler to start then probably upgrade to a cool master or the noctua. Not quite sure how I feel about liquid cooling. 

  So the power supply is a simple EVGA 750w no rating on it (bronze or silver) cost $57.00 can I get away with 500w or 550w. 

   So you guys are saying it's worth bumping up to an 8core instead of a 6. Is there that much of a benefit. 

 

  Was just going to start with that ssd and eventually get a 1tb ssd. 

 

Again more concerned about hardware than price as long as we don't get too carried away lol

Take the non-X 2600, performs basically the same anyway and is cheaper

Stock cooler is fine, Ryzen runs pretty cool as long as you aren't overclocking

This is a sub-$750 build assuming you can get a GTX1070 Ti for $250 or less, I'm not certain on the prices but a quick eBay search showing me prices ranging from $200 to $300?

Mesh front case for better ventilation

Fully modular PSU for easier cable management

 

Again, do give us a budget as it makes it easier to narrow down what kind of parts you can put in

You pretty much nailed it BigRom. There is wiggle room. Just wanted to make sure i was on the right track. Going through this stuff at first is super overwhelming but 30 LTT videos later you start to understand what's going on. Thanks

If there is wiggle room, consider stepping up to the new Ryzen 3600 (with the same MSI Tomahawk board, MAX or non-MAX) as the IPC improvements means its much faster than the outgoing 2600.

 

MSI usually has BIOS flashback so you can update the BIOS without a compatible CPU, or you could pay a little bit extra for the Tomahawk MAX that has native support for the 3000 series Ryzen. Either way its the best value board now for AMD as it has great VRMs for overclocking, superior to even some X570 boards

Well that's what a more cost optimized build looks llke

 

don't buy cheap power supplies lol.

 

Just need to flash the bios with a USB flash drive, you don't need a CPU installed to do it. the X570 Prime is $160 otherwise.

If you're going to have the PC for years get the R5 3600 for it's better gaming performance.
