Build Help from Australia

[HammerMuffins]

Budget (including currency): 1500

Country: Australia

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Gaming (CS:GO, Warzone, GTA V Online, SKyrim)

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): 

G'day everyone, I am planning a build and am stuck and need some advice.

 

I have a budget of 1500. Was looking at a 5700 XT Asrock with a Ryzen 3600 CPU but seems like I have to really lower quality of everything else to fit it in my budget. I have a 27" Freesync 144Hz Monitor already and a 500Gb HDD.

 

I want to be able to play latest games on atleast High at 1080p above 60+ FPS. 

 

Cheers

The ASRock model of that card overheats. Avoid it. You're also looking at a VERY overpriced power supply and board.

You get a better GPU design, more storage and better PSU. Motherboard is perfectly adequate. If you want something a little better get a B550, but I would avoid X470.

Agreed - the only thing I'd say is keep the Silverstone Essentials 550W - it's the same quality-level (if not better) and use the saved money for a B550 Prime-A or B550 Pro4

Hey mate! I'm from Tassie and Ive just recently buit myself a very similar system to what you're after. 

This is what I would personally buy if I were in your shoes with the budget. (I would maybe get a better PSU but it's good for the price)

 

That's with NO case. Kinda over your budget but I would stay away from the XFX 5700xt and get the saphire nitro + 

 

Try and squeeze a little more for your ram.  ryzens like faster speed with lower latency.

 

If you're gaming I would personally get a HDD for a game library.
