Budget portable build

[Nonco]

Hellooo

 

I have been craving for a portable little rig which I can take to friends ect.

 

Ever since I saw the sugo case from one of linus' videos I quite liked the size and design so thats what id like to build it into.

 

Right now the cheaper the better, I went with AMD for this reason, however I really dont know much at all about AMD so very willing and open to any suggestions on CPU.

With this in mind, I wouldnt mind something which could handle very basic CAD program operations if i ever needed a portable machine. Not rendering, just operating the software without wanting to kill myself.

 

I was not too sure what the best bang for your buck GPU is either, probably a 750Ti or 950? or is there a better budgeted AMD card?

 

I wont be playing AAA titles on this machine, primarily just multiplayer/LAN games (Dota 2) with friends so not looking for amazing performance just trying to get a portable machine without breaking the bank.

 

There is not necessarily a budget but im trying to keep it cheaper.

 

Heres a little list ive done thus far but open to changes ect:

If you have a completely different parts build id gladly take a look!

Not bad. I guess a 950 or R7-370 would fit this type of build. Obviously intel is better, but with this budget AMD will be fine (for now)

You might want to add storage.

Looks good Id shell out a few more dollars for an SSD rather than an HDD, and get 2400MHz RAM since the APU will benefit from it

For SSD, pick up a 120GB HyperX drive, they go really cheap here in the US, hopefully the same goes for AU.

I would get a better APU and forget about the GPU

Theres an A10 7700K for $25 more, worth it?

What would you recommend?

I think it may be better to just go all out for a 7870K

The best APU in your budget.

I would get a dedicated GPU latter on if you need more performance and it doesn't have to be as portable.

Hey, you could've asked me! I would get an SG05BB-LITE, stuff in an i3/G3258 and a 750 Ti/950. A cheap 300W SFX PSU and a 250GB SSD should be nice.

If you do plan on sticking with ANY APU, I recommend that you get higher speed ram, say 2133Mhz or 2400Mhz, whichever the motherboard can support. Of course the higher speed is most desireable.
