Posted May 26, 2022 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?

Posted May 26, 2022 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted May 26, 2022 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).

Choose from the A or B tier 550w or higher. A current popular budget option is a corsair cxm 650w. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This GPU bigger than this cpu a 1050ti or 1650s is enough Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
