Planning my first build, how is it looking?

[werdna814]

About $1000 USD budget

 

I didn't add a graphics card into the list because of the shortage that's going on, but added all the other parts I need. I already have an ssd I can use. This will be my first build once I save up enough money to build it and graphics cards stock becomes normal. (hopefully) I'm not really sure about the parts that I've picked so I've come here to get some advice and suggestions on things I should change!

You should probably ask for advice when you're ready to purchase components, as future availability is not guaranteed.

I'd say build it around the 5600X and slightly faster memory (3600) since when GPUs come down in price hopefully so will the 5600X and it's more than a bit better than the 3600 but not earth shattering however if you want to keep it as is, that's understandable.

Okay, thank you!

The 11400 is cheaper and will perform better than the r5 3600

Can you recommend me some motherboards for the 11400 or 11400f?

I'm planning on using this for basic school work and games. I'm not really sure about what games, I never got to play that many. I'm thinking of playing things like CS:GO, other shooters like Warzone, games that my friends play and recommend, and run just about anything pretty comfortably.

I changed some stuff added a gpu and still kept you infer budget I think this would be a great setup for the price

i'm sorry but this is very bad.

-Ryzen 3 1200? that is terribly slow by today's standards. get a i3 10100.
-abysmally slow ram, not even 16GB.
-No SSD?
-Bad GPU
-Terrible case
-PSU is probably a bomb.

do you really need 16 gb though I play on 4

Just because you play a certain game on 4GB of RAM doesn't mean that anther game needs that ammount. Some games need 8, some need 12.

With 16GB only being $25(ish) more than 8GB, I see no reason to get 8.

Agreed, 4 gigs of ram will instantly be eaten by windows alone 8 is even small to this day, go for 16.

Looks decent right now. The case could possibly be improved since it doesn't look like it has too much airflow, but if you chose base on aesthetics I guess that's okay.

I'd go for a decent APU and skip the GPU. Either that or go for an old GPU like a GTX 980. That was my first Graphics card and it worked really well for anything I needed. Those should cost around $90, but I see those at $150 right now. Remember your storage. That might eat into your budget a bit. Also consider your periferals.

 

Yeah, skip the GPU for a half year. Prices will calm down soon, and unless you have a GPU already lined up or quite a budget, you might consider integrated graphics. Spend that extra money on peripherals bc you don't want to be like me and spend a ton of money building a computer and have a mediocre moniter
