ok, so a crappy old i5 with two hard drives vs a ryzen 5 1600 with an SSD?

 

lemme think about this one...

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

Neither. 99% of the time, buying a pre-built PC is going to be more expensive than building one yourself. Pre-built systems also cut a lot of corners on cases, cooling, and power supplies. If you can, you should definitely try building your own. 

Main PC:

AMD Ryzen 7 5800X • Noctua NH-D15 • MSI MAG B550 Tomahawk • 2x8GB G.skill Trident Z Neo 3600MHz CL16 • MSI VENTUS 3X GeForce RTX 3070 OC • Samsung 970 Evo 1TB • Samsung 860 Evo 1TB • Cosair iCUE 465X RGB • Corsair RMx 750W (White)

 

Peripherals/Other:

ASUS VG27AQ • G PRO K/DA • G502 Hero K/DA • G733 K/DA • G840 K/DA • Oculus Quest 2 • Nintendo Switch (Rev. 2)

 

Laptop (Dell XPS 13):

Intel Core i7-1195G7 • Intel Iris Xe Graphics • 16GB LPDDR4x 4267MHz • 512GB M.2 PCIe NVMe SSD • 13.4" OLED 3.5K InfinityEdge Display (3456x2160, 400nit, touch). 

 

Got any questions about my system or peripherals? Feel free to tag me (@bellabichon) and I'll be happy to give you my two cents. 

 

PSA: Posting a PCPartPicker list with no explanation isn't helpful for first-time builders :)

Yes, I understand this, But this is just a starter for now and it will be upgraded in the future. So I'm not really worried about cooling or the PSU at the moment. and each PC build list I've made averaged around $700-$1000...

Then don't even consder a system sporting an 8 year old CPU, because the best you can upgrade to is other 8 year old CPUs

I went down that route and you end up with alot of proprietary shit, when I was looking to upgrade I couldn't reuse case, PSU, AND THE FRIGGN MOBO! Please for the love of god build your own. Need to cut price down go used!

Both are using older hardware, the R5 1600 is a few years old and the i5 3470 is way older. If the AMD R5 system had a better motherboard, two sticks of ram (2x8Gb), a good PSU(I do not know what is in it) and a case that does not have the intake being choked, then maybe.

Also, you should be worried about cooling and the PSU, those are two important factors that should not be overlooked, cooling should be adequate and the PSU should be of decent quality.

It may be a bit hard to do with new parts, but it is still possible to to build something that will be pretty decent at gaming for $600. I would pick a Ryzen 5 1600 AF CPU and an RX 570 or 580 GPU to start and try to figure out the rest of the setup from there.

CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 5700X with a Noctua NH-U9S cooler
