Building new PC for playing games that dont require lots of performance

[Darker1243]

Budget (including currency): €800-1000

Country: Austria

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for:  Fallout 4, World of Tanks, Subnautica, Minecraft, Rocket League, CS:GO

Other details: I own quite new Laptop with Integrated graphics that i use for school and would like to have some simple rig to play games in 1080p above 60fps. I already own few monitors, keyboard and mouse. Please let me know if build like this is overkill and if i cheaped out on some stuff like power supply.

 

Here is the build: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/Z8CjLs

 

Thanks!

I changed out quite a few parts and here is why:

• CPU: Overpriced old CPU
• CPU Cooler: No need unless you plan on overclocking. AMD one that's included is likely just about as good as the one listed.
• MB: Old overpriced motherboard - there are other b550 boards for the same price or cheaper than the one you had, but I added a better one in there to retain the full ATX form factor.
• RAM: Corsair memory used to be really, really good but due to what's going on in the world, they have not been able to do quality control very well. Patriot has been and makes solid memory
• SSD: You had a good, reliable SSD listed, but compared to competition, it's overpriced. I included a PNY SSD which is very highly rated (actually higher than the Samsung) on the SSD Tier List due to it's Phison E16 controller, and high quality NAND flash. They seem to make good products and have good customer service.
• GPU: Unchanged, go with what you can find for the best price to performance.
• Case: Get something with more airflow. I went with this MSI because it looked decent for the price. I would also see if you like some of the mesh cases from bitfinix.
• PSU: You should have at least a 500w for this system. I put in a great power supply from EVGA that I'm sure would last a good long time and keep your components functional.

Used Germany pcpartpicker to hopefully get more accurate pricing 

About what id reccommend

https://de.pcpartpicker.com/list/Yv93d9

A 12400f which is really all thats needed for gaming

Cheap cooler since the 12400f doseny run too hot

Good board for the price

Cheap kit of 16gb ram

Good 1tb storage

A 6600 which is going to be significantly better than a 3050

Nice case and a good quality psu

No problem! I was going to mention, if you wanted to spend a tad more, you could upgrade to a 3060. You already got a slight upgrade over the 3050 with that RX6600 though so no pressure. Don't spend more than you can afford.

Thanks!

The only problem Is that the 5500 isn't really a strong cpu. It gets beaten by a 12100 and it's usually more expensive as well

500gb is also a bit small, I'd aim for 1tb 

The br also isn't the best psu 

 

Can you list some sites you plan to buy from?

For gaming. Otherwise, productivity is, in most cases, still better on the 5500. Also, the CPU, MB, and Cooler all make the system about $150 more expensive.

I agree.

Not the best, but it's pretty close in its price range.

I noticed that some parts from previous build werent avaliable so i updated the list: https://at.pcpartpicker.com/list/Mtz2Tn

 

 

-i think 5500 should be enough for stuff i need, CS:GO is indeed CPU-oriented but it should be fine
-B550 Motherboard seems also okay by me
-chose the cheaper ram that u suggested
-500GB is totally fine, wont need whole TB

-RX 6600 is also sufficient

-solid case imo

-and i picked 700W PSU

It really needs a decent mATX case, but at.pcpartpicker.com is very limited.

Op only seems to be gaming though, so the 12100 is the better choice

The price jump is also since I was using de.pcpartpicker while you were using us pcpartpicker, so prices will be skewed cheaper to the us side

https://at.pcpartpicker.com/list/3RQt4s

This would be more apt if you're looking to save

It seems that there is an Austria pcpartpicker, though it didn't come up the first time

Ah, ok, that makes sense. I do like this build for what seems to be available
