First Build Advice

[KaiyaSam]

My budget is as little as possible as I have to save, but am willing to save a little extra if need be, plus I want a Mini ITX to save space on my desk.

 

The build that I chose is currently based around my Sapphire Nitro+ RX570 8GB, that I recently got for my an older pc that has an i7 2600, but I decided now rather to upgrade to a PC that I can also upgrade in the future.

 

I believe that what I chose gives me the opportunity to upgrade my CPU and GPU in the furture. I would like some advice of if there are any parts I should consider changing (other than the GPU at the moment) or if what I have chosen is good enough for the time being to play most games on 1080p 60fps mostly High Settings? (Ps with my parts listed below I also currently own the 4tb HDD)

So if you are changing the graphics card this is a pretty decent build. I personally would put forward the extra money and get a 1TB SSD whether it be M.2 or just a normal sata SSD but that's just in my opinion. I play more AAA games on my PC and those take up so much space on my computer that I wouldn't bother having only a 500GB SSD but in your case if you don't plan on playing AAA games on this machine in the future then you should be okay for now.

Hello,

 

I made a few changes so you could fit a 3600 instead :

Stock to stock, maybe. PBO to PBO. Nope.

 

Dont know where you get that figure from. And thats not why one would buy the 3600x.

Why are we paying a premium of about 15$ over other kits?

The gaming plus AC is a better board. Tho it is significantly more expencive, so fair enough.
