Micro ITX build for GF

[TheOrangeBoy]

Hello everyone, I want to get my GF a small kinda basic gaming PC. I want her to be able to play any game she wants at 1080p mid-high details.

This is what i got so far. Any reccomendations?

Instead of that SSD I would get something larger like the Crucial P1, but overall that looks pretty good.

get a 1600AF and B450M Pro-VDH instead, much better than the 9100F.

i am concidering a regular ssd tbh, dont think shell ever need that kind of speed, and i could get more storage that way

For some reason it didn't select the good CPU so here's the good one : https://www.amazon.com/AMD-Processor-Wraith-Stealth-Cooler/dp/B07XTQZJ28/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=1600AF&qid=1587043082&sr=8-1

It's also better and cheaper.

hows that better? 9100f outperforms 1600 in games by like 10-15% and is newer...

It's overall better :

 

 

The i3 9100f is just a rip off 4c/4t compared to the 1600AF 6c/12t.

I stand corrected. cpu.userbenchmark must be on acid.

A 1600 AF is also able to be overclocked and nearly match the performance of a 2600X.

userbenchmark are always on acid. pls don't use that site for any kind of information.

Also I added a 1660S instead of the 1660 which is also better, and since it comes with a CPU cooler you don't need that either.

 

Also userbenchmark is very bad and is very biased towards Intel, I'm saying that and I own a i7-8700K.

will it be worth to cough up 25$ more for 2600?

Oh yeah that website has a serious intel bias.

no. the 1600af is liteerally a 2600 with a worse memory controller. so the only difference is thatt you might be able to run ram at 3200 on the 2600, but only at 2933 on the 1600af. not really worth the price difference.

The af for all intents and purposes is a 2600 with a different name. It's also on zen+ as the 2600 and the 1600af is basically there to continue on using the 1600 name.

The 1600AF is basically a rebranded 2600 :

i dont think ill be overclocking. its a small case, and a small cooler and i want the system to stay quiet.

It's basically a 2600. I have a 1600AF with a RX 5700 (non xt) and it easily plays 1080 and 1440 games at 60+ fps...I'm also using 3200mhz RAM

The memory controller isn't worse.  It's a 2600 up and down.

I can't speak for others, but I have mine overclocked to 4.2 ghz and am using 3200mhz RAM...No issues whatsoever. This CPU is a steal for $85 USD.
