Is this a good rig?

[Damien_X]

So, I'm thinking of building a PC for myself for gaming, but I've got a tight budget. I would like some recommendations on what could be better, but only changes to the CPU, motherboard and graphics card would be useful to me at this time. Thank you!

Go AMD. it is a better deal all around, and you'll be happy you did so. I'd go with a Rx 580 instead of an RX 570.

Yeah, as an overall pc, but as i said, only modifications to them motherboard, cpu and gpu.

So what are you trying to do? You already have this system?

 

What's the budget for upgrades?

[Jedimaster99]

Spending only slightly more on 3200mhz/3600mhz RAM will make things a lot better weather you go AMD or intel. 

 

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/h8dxFT/patriot-viper-4-16gb-2-x-8gb-ddr4-3200-memory-pv416g320c6k This will only cost you slightly more than the RAM you have, from the perspective of the whole system, and you get 16gb instead of 8gb at a reasonable speed. Bad RAM will make any system worse, regardless of the platform.

i have access to free ram, storage, case, power supply and maybe motherboard. im just trying to see if there are better combos for the cpu-gpu.the price for both would be 400$.

and i cant change to amd, cause of ram and motherboards available

 

 

[Jedimaster99]

what about a Ryzen 5 3600 and an ROG Strix B450-F? The CPU costs $175 and the motherboard costs $130. You have $95 left over to buy some 16GB of 3600mhz RAM and probably some cash left over. That is a FAR more powerful system.

how to delete a post, ive found the perfect combo. ill go for the rx 580 instead and 16gb of ram
