Help building Gaming PC

[vlad1slaw]

 

Budget (including currency):500 EUR

Country: Germany

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Latest games, recording, light editing, light streaming

 

Hey guys, I am building a gaming PC with the budget listed above. I already have a PCPartPicker list made by myself, but its a bit outdated already and I need other more experienced people's suggestions. My budget is strict, I dont care about looks, only bang for the buck performance. Any help is greatly appreciated, thanks in advance!

This is the best I could do for that budget. Still would beat most prebults for that price range.

Happy to help.

 

If you can possibly get €40 more btw, go for the RX 6600. More VRAM, better performance.

(RX 6600 is on the left, not the right. Don't know why.  )

This is what you got for 500EUR but really it won't be great : slow Pcie3 CPU with a x4 GPU is recipe for bad performance

Add 50EUR and you get a much better platform, like more than +50% performance for +10% cost :

That's over their budget (which they already mentioned was a hard budget), and I followed up with the RX 6600 already.

 

That's also only a 4-core cpu, where I listed a 6-core???

4 cores but faster at gaming, the 4500 are pretty mediocre (basically a cut down 3600)

And real issue was 6500XT on a PCie3 CPU 

I realized it's above budget but only by 50 bucks, and it's a shame to lose 40% perf for that

Then I’d go for this edited version of @PDifolco’s build as @GeorgeMKane’s build is in budget but that cpu has a piddly amount of cache and that gpu is only really good for gen 4 builds (only available in the 5600 and up)
