2600 ???

[Hmm...]

Hi all,

I'm looking into building a new pc in the next few weeks and have a £500 budget.

The current system I have spect out is to be used for gaming, 3d cad and the Adobe suite. The specs are as follows -

R5 2600 - £108

Asrock b450 steel legend - £86

16gb 3600 cas 16 crucial ballistic RGB - £89.99

500w evga PSU - £55

Pre owned gtx1070 -£100

Phanteks p300 - £50

1tb segate barracuda - £34

500gb 860evo - already owned - £0

 

I'm still not sure about the CPU, the 2600 is kind of slow and the 2700 is a slight step up. But then there is also 3rd gen... 

 

Any recommendations are welcome for CPU choice and other parts of the system!

 

Many thanks,

Hmm...

If you're willing to go for a 2700 you could go for the 3600. It's about 20-30% more powerful for that much more in cost. Your motherboard will probably require a BIOS update though.

eBay xD, UK pricing is quite good for the used market

Ok then, figured that would be a good idea

I have the 2600 and a similar Mobo (Gigabyte b450) and I think its fine stock. If you want a higher clock speed, you can get up to 3.8Ghz easily in the bios and ive seen some people get over 4GHz on the stock cooler.

I know it's not quite 100 quid, but still for 165, that's not too bad a deal especially if its for an ITX build
