Dad's gaming system : Orthrus

[StrawberryShortCakes]

Hi everyone I'm Jamie, Dennis's dad I'm looking to play these games with my son. What graphics card should I buy for my system I plan. 

 

With son :

League of legends, Dota 2, overwatch, rocket league, Command and conquer red alert remastered, counter strike global offence, Royal Crown, 

 

My own games : international imperial Casino, poker breaker online,

 

My son got me an (1080p 24 inch 144hz 3sec  IPS LCD monitor)

Those games aren't too demanding, maybe a GTX 1660? That will last a while and will offer enough horsepower for more demanding games later down the road.

 

edit: oh yeah budget is important.

[SupaKomputa]

RX580 or GTX 1650ti. You don't need an expensive card to play those cames, especially casino.

What country are you in and what's your budget?

We live in Singapore, as for budget I'm not sure yet but I'm not trying to overspend.

Budget ?  

What are you pairing it with ? 

PSU?

[StrawberryShortCakes]

Just now, NZgamer said:

Another question, what chip are you going to pair it with?

Dennis was planning a 3700X but it's not in stock, so probably the 3800xt.

Please don't waste your money on that. 

Get a 3600. And then get a 5700xt if budget allows. We really can't choose something without a number.

Yeah, I was gonna say the GTX1650 but that's going to be a bit of a bottleneck. I think the Ryzen 7 is overkill for the games you want to play

We plan to stream the games together on our father and son youtube channel.

Yes, you don't wanna overspend , especially on daddy's games.

Basically all those games can be played with a nice entry level parts.

CPU: 3300x or 3600

GPU: Nvidia 1650 super or 1660 or AMD RX580 or RX5500

get a ryzen 5 3600 with a good b450 motherboard that not too cheap and not too expensive.

in terms of ram, 16gb is the minimum so try to look for a good 16gb (2x8gb) 3200mhz cl16 kit

a good gpu in this build would be something like a 1660 super or a 5600xt/5700xt

for storage, if you can find a good price for a fast m.2 thats at least 500gb that really good. but if you dont want to overspend and you want the minimum, a budget 120gb ssd just for windows and a 1tb hdd would also work fine.

and for the power supply, make sure you get at least a good quality 550w unit (good quality means it should be rated 80+ gold) but if you cant find one then a bronze one should do the trick just fine

those are the basic but we need to know your budget to help you get the best value for your money

Will the 3600 be able to handle the streaming on the system?

this thing doesn't exist, a 3600 should be enough

OK, 

[Deslumo]

I think your build looks good.

 

'Ryzen R7 3600X' - I believe you mean to say either R5 3600X or some other R7 model.

[AntiTrust]

yea build looks good, if a bit overkill for the games your dad plays though.

are you going to not use nvenc for streaming? you can use the extra money for a rtx 2060s

Well I run a 3700x in Almot the same build but I play AAA games so his is a step down.

I agree. nvenc is a great part of 20 series. Another recommendation would be the 2060 KO.

MSI B550 TOMAHAWK - Upcoming processor Gen is supported.

 

RYZEN 3600 - 6 core 12 is is enough for those games you play and to stream.

It comes with a Wraith Stealth cooler which is fine.

If you want a seperate Cooler I'd recommend Air cooler Such as NH-D15 which will even cool a 3950x very well.

 

2x8GB 3200Mhz CL16 RAM from any Manufacturer -  Dual channel and CL16 makes a lot of difference in performance

 

850W 80+ Gold PSU so you don't have to worry about it when you want to upgrade the processor in the future

 

Any storage capacity in NVME SSD that you can afford - B550 Tomahawk have 2x M.2 slot if you want you can use one for OS and one for games. I'd recommend 120GB SSD for Boot drive and a 500GB SSD storage for the games you often play. and get 1 or 2 TB HDD for other storage

 

GTX 1660 Super is my recommendation since it have GDDR6 for better bandwidth and NVENC encoder for for better streaming performance.

If you have the budget, get a GTX 1660Ti.

 

I Don't know much about cases but I'd recommend something that have top and front fan mounts. make sure the front panel is mesh so it can take as much air as it needs.

Yes but they're not running a 3950x. A complete waste of money.

Please stop. A 450w can run a 2080ti and a 3950x and efficiency has nothing to do with quality.

So does the 5700xt ? And actually any card that was recommended here.
