Garbage pile build

RobePerson · October 13, 2020

Budget (including currency): $300 plus food allowance

Country: States

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Satisfactory, cyberpunk 2077. Eventually recording games and making silly vids to share.

Other details:

I have an ancient atx(i think) antec case. Scrapped a bunch of fans from some recycle bound pcs.

Pretty sure i want a mobo that wont need to be upgraded for a while but still run an apu capable of playing recent games. Seems like x570

R5 2600 well ended up getting this at $135. I think i ended up with a deal. Sold my meager stocks for a few extra bucks for a gpu

$75-90 psu at 650-800w 80 plus bronze at least plus warrenty

Gpu: i dont know what i should get but im gonna spend between 130 and 160. So likely maybe a 1650 or rx570 whatever the best deal i see will be when i have the money.

Cheapest ssd with dram?

Cheapest ram 3000mhz? learned a bit about cas latency also thought my 2600 would use faster ram. Also i had boughten the cheapest 16gb 3000mhz, but with no apu i could go 8gb maybe and afford betted cas latency

Want to upgrade this build with R5 5600 when everyones buying the 5000 cpus

Monitor is avegant glyph headset 720p

Mouse is mega old chinese gamer mouse that disconnects when you move the cord. And a bt mouse

Old gamer keyboard, flexi keboard, and bt keyboard.

Im broke, but im gonna build something

Motherboard, cpu, ssd are on the way. I have a garbage case and a bunch of scrap fans.

Its beginning.

Since you are on a tight budget get a used workstation or server. Companies literary throw them away when they upgrade.

Thanks for the recommendation. I checked craigslist. Lot of intel computers. At 60-150 the prices are good for a tinker pc. Im looking to build though and it seems like my mpney would be going the wrong direction for those. Saw a fm2 build but it was overpriced and didnt look well maintained. There was an athelon with a 1050ti that caught my eye. It would take all my money though and i dont trust people... guess not many companies use amd in their systems, or if they do, they arent cycling's out yet.
