Country: Hungary

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: GTA 5, Fortnite, Minecraft, Forza Horizon 4, CS:GO, LoL, Valorant..etc

Other details (existing parts lists, whether any peripherals are needed, what you're upgrading from, when you're going to buy, what resolution and refresh rate you want to play at, etc): 

Hi! I want to build a new gamer PC and I picked up some parts on a site that would be good for me. I'm looking for advices to improve this PC if I can save money on any part of it or I can get a better one on the same price or even a bit higher price. I attached the pc build in a picture. And I have a question, about the CPU, I read about this i3-9100 a lot, and I saw the 9100F is kind of the same performance but it doesn't have GPU inside, can it be a problem for me in the future?

You might want to look at Ryzen with your budget, the i3-9100 isn't a brilliant buy, and with Ryzen you'll get more cores, and more threads for a similar price (I don't know how the prices are in Hungary though). As for the 9100F, yeah it has no integrated GPU, this shouldn't be an issue, as you'll only use your dedicated GPU (in this case the RX 560), although you might want to look for a better GPU than the RX 560, maybe a GTX 1650 super?

I was about to post a simmilar thing but you beat me to it. The Intel cpus have an average 6% game performance lead in the lower end. Since he isn't planning on video edditing, the Intel could stay? I also agree on the 1650 Super.

Like @bengeoghegan11 said, I think Ryzen is worth a look for your build. Ryzen stock coolers are also quite decent, so you might be able to save those 45 bucks for something that'll have impact on your gaming performance. I'd also recommend grabbing a cheap 1TB hard drive for large games and archival storage, so you don't have to clutter up your boot drive. 

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.

I Use my knowledge as business owner and self taught technician aswell as an AI to help people. AI might be controversial but it actually works pretty well 90% of the time.

That's...not really true at all, actually. Reception to Ryzen chips has been pretty great for the past few years, as they've been dramatically undercutting Intel's price-to-performance numbers. Also, most of the Ryzen processors have no problems whatsoever with cooling (some of them even run cooler than Intel's newest chips).

and the GTX 1650 super is double the price of the rx560 so i'd rather stay with the rx 560 or rebuild the whole pc to fit some better stuff in the price limit 

Fair enough, but I think it might be worth rethinking your parts list a bit. Since this is a gaming build, focus should be towards the GPU more than anything else.

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)

Intel's newer chips, although decent, aren't worth it at a lower price point, with Ryzen you get a lot more bang-for-your-buck, plus better upgradeability in future. And the added peace of mind that when newer games take advantage of all the cores and threads that are offered to them, your Ryzen chip will pull out ahead. Having said that though, I took Intel's bait for my PC, but I would have gone Ryzen if I was looking at a slightly lower price point, especially considering upgrades in future, the furthest I can upgrade is to an i9-9900K, whereas with Ryzen, I have been led to believe that you could even upgrade to Ryzen 4 on certain current motherboards (but don't quote me on that)

Sorry, my bad about the 1650S, I went off memory about the price there, in that case the AMD RX cards seem a better option for you

You're correct. AMD have been adamant that future Ryzen launches will be compatible with older chipsets. Nice knowing you won't have to throw two components out instead of one when you upgrade.

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)

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).
