New budget pc list, HELP NEEDED.

[DaBoi]

Hey peoples of the LTT forum, I am trying to build a budget pc, here is the list: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/WhqYgb

Open to suggestions, max budget is 720 dollars, but anything lower is completely fine.

I could be wrong but I think since your CPU doesn't support PCIe 4.0 (even though the board does), the performance on the 6500 XT will be crippled.

So what cpu would you recommend at around this price? I looked at 1st gen threadripper, but mobo pricing killed the deal.

this is my recommended list 12100F is great deal and 3050 is a lot better than 6500XT but you can swap that to save 100$ also I recommend a better PSU if you can spare some cash (consult with psu tier list

Tried to stretch the budget a bit, if you can add $15 to it for another case fan it would be better than just the one in the case.

B660 still gets you ddr4 overclocking and pcie4 so the card can run at the right speed.

There may be some rtx2060 or 1660super cards coming up used on eBay for $200ish if the stock holds up on newer cards.

AMD alternative, with better components - just add your preferred video card:

 

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/93WMv3

 

CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 5600 3.5 GHz 6-Core Processor  ($184.00 @ Newegg)
Motherboard: MSI B550M PRO-VDH Micro ATX AM4 Motherboard  ($118.03 @ MemoryC)
Memory: Silicon Power 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR4-3200 CL16 Memory  ($54.97 @ Newegg)
Storage: Western Digital Blue SN570 1 TB M.2-2280 NVME Solid State Drive  ($89.99 @ Amazon)
Case: Corsair 275R Airflow ATX Mid Tower Case  ($59.55 @ Amazon)
Power Supply: EVGA BR 600 W 80+ Bronze Certified ATX Power Supply  ($54.02 @ Amazon)

 

Total : $560

 

The system above will work, but the power supply is kind crap and will leave little room for upgrades, the SSD is SATA when you can do faster nvme,

The 12100F is cheaper (but only 4 core, 8 threads vs 6/12), what you save on CPU you put on motherboard but you'll have lots of cpus to upgrade if you want to and the motherboard can handle more demanding cpus.

Thank you, I will consider both.

For 450$ those parts are pretty bad. Maybe prices changed for some parts, But for prices they are selling now it's waste of money. 

Here is edit with better cooler, motherboard and RAM.

Budget (including currency): 350 to 450 USD

Country: United States of America

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Minecraft, recording and video editing

I just need the pc. 1080p res. I'm doing this as living in an apartment made me become poor.

Look on the used market. You should be able to find something with an 8th gen i5 and a 1060 for around that budget.

I am looking for a new build (this was a challenge by my parents, who I'm dependent on)

$350 new is not gonna be worth buying. It's possible, but not particularly good.

The cheapest you should really go for a system doing this is $600, and even then an extra $200 will go far.

Or go used. There's nothing wrong with used parts, and a $300-400 used system can be a pretty respectable little system.

Get a laptop with a ryzen APU if you must:

($450)

https://www.amazon.com/HP-Pavilion-Windows-Horizon-Renewed/dp/B094G6P18R/ref=sr_1_4?keywords=ryzen+laptop+renewed&qid=1651730679&refinements=p_36%3A2421886011&rnid=2421885011&s=pc&sr=1-4

 

This will run minecraft fine, and the hexacore CPU should be enough for some decent editing.  The vega iGPU is better for laptop editing than anything you would have had in the past.

 

You should be able to upgrade this to 16GB of RAM for less than $35.

Don't laugh, but at that budget you could as well get a Steam Deck and use it as a Mini PC.
