[Akira Shimazu]

My local store gives 50$ discount for this prebuilt system

i5 9400f

MSI B365M pro

ADATA DDR4 XPG SPECTRIX  PC24000 3000MHz 16GB dual

Adata SSD SU650 480GB

PRIME V [N] Case Atx with 1fan 12cm

Galax GTX 1660 6GB

Seasonic S12III-500 500W 80-bronze

 

1. Future upgrade?

2. gaming performance?

3. Price for this built?

i guess the price is fine, but I'd build a ryzen system. the 3600 is almost the same price as the 9400f, and there's a huge difference in performance. also that seasonic psu is quite bad.

Re:9400f/b370:

 

With that cpu/motherboard combo upgradability is poor.  Gaming performance with current games should be ok but may go downhill quickly if newer games require more threads.
