Hey all. 

I'm building my friend a budget computer for CSGO only. They literally only play CSGO. They have peripherals already, so tell me what you think:

I know I'll need a CPU to give the motherboard a bios update!

Irish in Vancouver, what's new?

Can get a way cheaper case, the motherboard and power supply aren't worth the money.

The motherboard is fine...

A320 is a crap chipset, there's decent B450 boards at the same price-point

I think it's great, except I would FOR SURE get the Ryzen 5 3400G instead of the Ryzen 3 3200G. If he's planning on rolling integrated graphics, at least get the good integrated graphics.

 

If his jam is CS:GO, a high refresh rate monitor will be in his future. the R53400G will at least let him see over 100FPS fairly consistently, reducing the competitive disadvantage.

I looked it up, the FPS is negligible no?

For CS:GO only, a 9th gen Intel CPU will do better than second gen Ryzen. You can also cut the SSD down.

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 11 and Fedora Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me.

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

 

PSU tier list

How many watts do I need?

PSU misconceptions, protections explained, group reg is bad

Well, it's for Zen+ instead of Zen2 cores, so second gen architecture (all G processors use last gen cores). Would be slow for high fps gaming, so if that's a priority, consider the i5.

We also cannot afford a graphics card
