PC Build advise

[Gard]

Hello, I am hoping to get some advice on a "first time build".  I did an ultimate budget build around 2011 and didn't actually buy the parts myself.

I was hoping to get something from $650-$750 (usd), only on the PC parts, not including mouse keyboard and monitor.

I am planning on gaming alone on this and going to 2 monitors eventually.

I was thinking that I would start off with a lower cpu to get things up and running and that would be my first upgrade.  

Any help would be appreciated!! Thanks for your time.

Is what I had to start, I do not need an HDD as I have an older one I am going to use.  Was thinking spend more on GPU now than CPU, but would it be worth it?  Maybe go for a better motherboard if I plan on upgrading my CPU?

A really good motherboard to build up on would be a MSI B450 Tomahawk Max @ $114

that supports ryzen 3rd gen out of the box, so you can upgrade your cpu in the years to come.

 

your ram, sure you can cheap out on that, 3000 is a slow speed. but its cheap, your ideal speed is 3600, you can go to 3400 if your pinching pennies.

 

 

 

the 2600x might be a better binned cpu for a few dollars more, because you can always oc the 2600 right.

 

Viper Steel ram is good, cheap, and the speed is good, 3600, but theres one at 3400 speed for $10 or $15 cheaper.

 

3200 i guess for the ram speed, i thought there was one at 3400 maybe its gone or a different name.

Ty for your time to put that together for me, I think I will take the video card suggestion and SSD suggestion and go with Amdorintels suggestion to go for the MSI B450 Tomahawk motherboard

whatcha mean disregard the gpu?  Should I consider an additional fan for this case or is the venting good enough?

[amdorintel]

my list was from another posting asking similar question, the other post used that gpu. i think your 1660 ti is good, though I havent studied up on the gpu side of things yet.

 

i am currently focused on the mobo choice, which I have down to a list of 3 or 4.

the cpu is an easy choice

the ram, as I mentioned, the 3400 is the Patriot Viper 16 GB 2x8gb, $67

the question on the ram is, do we cheap out big time, and not care about the speed of the ram, or stay with the 3200 speed when 3600 is where we should be at, and 3400 is an ok spot to be at for ram speed. i think personally, i'd cheap out on the ram 3200 speed, grab a 1x8gb stick, then 1 or 2 months down the line, grab the exact same stick to make 2x8gb, though they wouldnt be factory matched. its a matter of cash, and the game of what to spend money on! what to cheap out on!

 

1) Buy a good motherboard $95-$120 - that is your base, best not to cheap out on it.

2) Buy a $100-$120 Ryzen 2600 or 2600x with the possibility of upgrading in 6m-1yrs time to see if the use case has changed.

3) Cheap out on ram

4) Cheap out on case

5) the gpu is a finnicky lady, depends on use case, what games you will be playing and at what settings. if you know for a fact you love AAA game titles, then spending money on gpu upfront is wise. but if you have no clue what games you will like to play, then maybe a $125-$150 gpu instead of a $250 gpu would be a wise spending procedure.

some of these amazon reviews say that this Gigabyte Radeon GPU gets very loud, and also had a bunch of issues crashing when playing games?
