Country?

Budget?

Uses?

 

Those are horrible value and used ryzen goes for a similar price while being wayyyyy faster (3600 + b450) or intel you can go 12100f + h610, even with 4 cores it obliterates the 10400f/3600 single core

 

Though what prices are you getting the parts and where are you buying from?

Shouldn't you get a DDR4 build buddy!? Looks like you've spent more on the case and PSU than on your main hardware!

i5 5th or 6gen could've been better really!!

You should've mentioned your budget and location so that we could've suggested a better PC.

What is your budget?

 

These are very old parts and without providing pricing for it there is no way to know if these are even remotely priced right.

 

Also that psu is a firehazard. Like seriously it will kill your computer. I hope in total this pc isn't over 500$ because it seriously is not worth it and it's gonna show it's age really badly the moment the ps4/xbox one fall out of the game release cycle (which is gonna be quite soon).

Huh it's a time machine !! I had a very close build (a bit below, i7-4770K and GTX770)  ...in 2014 !!

 

How much did you pay that ? Back then I paid like 1,300 EUR

Based purely on the cheapest things i could find i came up with this build

My budget is 350$ and the case an psu actually iam getting them for 85$

And for the i5 gen 5 or 6 not going to be better the i7 4790k more powerful than them

Thats a good deal. BUT toss that psu immediatly and get a newer higer quality unit from the psu tier list. Choose from the A or B tier 550w or higher.

A current popular budget option is a corsair cxm 650w.
