New Ryzen Build for lite gaming.

Hey. first time builder here. (Also, still learning English, sorry for mistakes)

 

I've been using R5 2400G for the past two months and while it was capable of *running* games, it wasn't enough to give me smooth experience in some titles like Apex Legends.

Do you guys have any comments on these parts I've selected?

Also. I want to overclock the 2600 to 4.0GHz, can it be done on stock cooler or I should get something like 212 Turbo? (can't afford good AIO tbh) I can't go with Noctua (I want RGB).

 

R5 2600

ASUS ROG STRIX B450-F Gaming (I'm kind of a fanboy for ASUS)

Trident z rgb (2x8) 3200MHz (It'd be really good if they had some dummy sticks to offer to fill the remaining slots on the mobo)

Gigabyte RX 570 4GB version (Initially I wanted to go with the 8GB version but all 8GB ones available on Amazon (that are fairly priced) are made by XFX or some brand that suuuuucks in making products that look good.

Just adding an RX 570/580 to a 2400G system should already make Apex Legends plenty playable, but make sure the PSU is at least acceptable.

Deepcool Gammaxx GT is probably the best budget RGB cooler, Hyper 212 except the Black and Black RGB all use bad X-shaped mounting frame which is really hard to install.

Start by getting an RX 580, see what performance increase that yields for you. I bet it would suffice as the whole upgrade

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

 

Primary PC:

i7 8086k - EVGA Z370 Classified K - G.Skill Trident Z RGB - WD SN750 - Jedi Order Titan Xp - Hyper 212 Black (with RGB Riing flair) - EVGA G3 650W - dual booting Windows 10 and Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me.

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

 

How many watts do I need? ATX 3.0 & PCIe 5.0 spec, PSU misconceptions, protections explained, group reg is bad

I have to agree with the above statement. Your 2400G is a multithreaded 4 core CPU. 8 threads is plenty for gaming, and you're not getting much if any speed increase by buying a 2600, just getting two more cores. 

 

Get a cooler you like if you want to overclock,  but you really wont see a ton of benefit in gaming. Maybe the MA410P or MA620P for RGB if they are in am affordable price range. 

 

The thing that will make a huge difference in gaming is adding a discreet GPU. I agree with the recommendation for an RX 580 if your gaming is light. Though I'm unaware of any with RGB lighting, note that the cooler face of the card is not visible in almost all cases. All you see of the card is the side plate and the top, which looks like the backside of a circuit board. So I would grab a SAPPHIRE cooler for the good cooling, and not worry about the look.

Hey. thank you all for your advices. I know that pairing a dGPU with an APU makes the PCI Express lane to work in half bandwidth (x8). won't this decrease the performance of my RX580?

nope, 8X PCIe 3.0 is plenty for just about any graphics card.

The CPU won't be operating as an APU if you're not hooking display elements into it. So that won't be an issue.

What do you mean with "smooth" experience? How much FPS do you have now?

 

Have you plugged your HDMI cable in the graphics card and not directly in your mobo?
