New PC

[Stitch0626]

Budget: to be determined/trying for under 1,000 US dollars

Country: United States

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: games mainly Phasmophobia

Other details: I want to get this as soon as posible. 

The required specs for the game I manly want to play are: 

• Requires a 64-bit processor and operating system
• OS: Windows 10 64Bit
• Processor: Intel Core i5-4590 / AMD Ryzen 5 2600
• Memory: 8 GB RAM
• Graphics: NVIDIA GTX 970 / AMD Radeon R9 390
• Storage: 18 GB available space
• Additional Notes: Minimum Specs are for VR, lower specs may work for Non-VR

Will this set up work?

Why? What’s the difference? Other than price.

MP33 is only 2 usd more, but has has faster read/write speeds
Montech X2 has all molex fans (running at 100% fan speed/no voltage control) 
as for the monitor: has a higher 1080P res and 144hz. at a cheaper price https://pcpartpicker.com/list/NNx3Vc

2.9ghz CPU in this day and age? Ryzen 5 2600x runs at 3.6 base and can clock to 4.1 (with after market cooler)

Clockspeed does not determine CPU performance, especially when comparing chips that have  different architectures. 

10400 on 3200mhz actually outperforms the 2600X - GN testing
10400 wasn't too good of a value choice since it's competitive performance came from expensive Z490 boards (allowing mem oc) But B560 chipset offers that at a much cheaper price. Making it one of the best value choices for ~200 USD processors. 

> Ryzen 5 2600x runs at 3.6 base and can clock to 4.1 (with after market cooler)
10400 has a boost clock higher than 2600x, at 4.3Ghz. 

tl;dr 10400 > 2600X

Will the internal graphics on the one you suggested work for gaming?

[TeraBot452]

Unfortunately for a game that recommends a GTX 970 I would be surprised if it even let you get passed the menus.  You could try a Ryzen 5 5600g based system that might hold you off until you can get a GPU, but if you are willing to put the 1050 into the other system that the person above suggested, it would offer better performance.

I would recommend waiting until Newegg has stock for the 5600g again(you can get it for $240 US that way)

Would this work. Keep in mind I’m going as cheep as posible

The integrated graphics of the 5600G is better than the GT630 so I wouldn't bother getting the GT630. I would also consider getting a NVME drive with dram. It will make your computer experience much nicer than a dramless drive like MP33. Here are some you can go for:

Silicon Power P34A80

Team MP34

ADATA XPG GAMMIX S7

 

It's pretty tough to get a good build under 1000 right now. Two options are grab 5600G/5700G build (what you have already) and wait for a good price for a GPU or spend a bit more for a better system overall. Around 1500 USD can get you a decent PC build that should run all games today pretty well (maybe except Cyberpunk Ultra details). Here is an example build:

But yea this is way over budget, so feel free to ignore this build.

So the integrated graphics and the cheap graphics card wont just work together?

No they don't combine, only one will be active at a time

So just the cpu ok.

Is Radeon Vega 8 much better than Radeon Vega 7?

also Ive gotten the price Down to like 650 dollars so thank all of ya’ll

[Jonathan Lee]

generally higher number means better, but I don't know by how much. The iGPU of the 5600G will run older games fine, but not new games

[Stitch0626]

Could i survive off of: Intel UHD Graphics 630
