Hello! I have made a parts list for a gaming pc build, budget is a little over 600 US dollars, plan on playing Overwatch, GTA 5, Minecraft, Need For Speed Edge, Rocket League, No Mans Sky, and possibly Just Cause 3 are the most demanding things I plan on running, highest settings, 60fps on 1080p monitor. Can this build do that?

Build:

Power supply:XFX TS 550w Full Wired 80+ Bronze Power Supply - P1550SXXB9  If you know any better power supplys please link them                            

Case: Rosewill ATX Mid Tower Gaming Computer Case Stryker M

Motherboard: ASRock B150M Pro4S Micro ATX LGA1151 Motherboard Know any cheaper mobos that work just as well? Link them below!

CPU fan: Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO 82.9 CFM Sleeve Bearing CPU Cooler Tell me if I need this for my workload or not.

CPU: Intel Core i5-6500 3.2GHz Quad-Core Processor

GPU:  Radeon RX 480 graphics card or Nvidia 1060 tell me which I should get as far as playing Triple A title at good settings for years to come.

RAM: Corsair Vengeance LPX 8gb (1x8gb) DDR4-2133 Memory

Hard Drive: Western Digital Caviar Blue 1TB 3.5” 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive

Tell me if any of these parts are bad or would slow my computer down. My leeway is about 50-100$ so if you can find anything much better for that much, that would be great, so my budget is 600-700 US dollars.

A few things.

 

1) Use pcpartpicker.com

2) If you want to take full advantage of the case's size or motherboards size, either get a micro ATX case or ATX motherboard.

3) Games run slightly better with dual channel ram (2 sticks)

4) The 1060's embargo lifted, so there's already a crap-ton of videos on it. Especially Linus's

5) A small SSD would help greatly in system boot times and game loading times.

Hi,

 

Since you can't OC your CPU, you could save a little bit of money by keeping the stock cooler instead of the Hyper 212 EVO, but it up to you. 

 

And I would go with the GTX 1060 instead of the RX 480. 

Allright, so stock cooler and GTX 1060? Why?

Well the money you'll save by keeping the stock cooler could be put on the GTX 1060. But remember that the stock cooler is louder and your CPU gonna heat more, but since you don't OC everything will be fine temperature wise. 

 

For the GTX 1060 if you check the benchmarks it outperform the RX 480 by a few FPS for around the same price and you have the Nvidia drivers that launch at every AAA titles releases.

The 1060 has better $/Frame.

 

An aftermarket cooler will keep the CPU cooler, which can increase life of your processor, and aftermarkets run quieter.

 

It's really personal preference on coolers.

Ehh I think I will just use the Cooler master. Cooler is better after all. Also, that is true about the drivers and the FPS, I saw the linustechtips review.

Actually RX has better $/frame. And I think I will go for Cooler Master 212.

If you saw Linus's video, 1060's $/Frame is better. In everything but the AMD-Loving Hitman.

Oh I must have gotten the two confused. My bad! But 1060 does look good, just gonna wait a few days and see.

Good choice, I also prefer to use an aftermarket cooler, it's just that I thought you wanted to save money since you wanted the cheapest mobo possible. But yeah Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO is a great choice.

If you do plan on getting the 1060, I would definitely wait for aftermarket cards to come out at MSRP. If you can snag a $250 1060, you're in good shape. Specifically if you were going to go small form-factor, I would wait for the EVGA SuperClocked featured in JayzTwoCents video here.

I want a cheap mobo so I can put more money into games and the like. Also, know any good cheaper mobo?

Allright, that might be a good idea.

Are we watching the same video? Lower means better. The RX 480 still has the better price to performance...

Be nice to each other boys and girls. And don't cheap out on a power supply.

But I'm asking if the 1060 is better than 480. And I am guessing they are both better than a gt 610.

Yes, the GTX 1060 is better than the RX 480. Both are infinitely better than the GT 610.

Allright just making sure, GT 610 can actually run 3fps on crisis 2 lowest settings! I'm surprised theres even a better GPU out there!

It's called 10,000,000FPS is Crysis 10 with 9 monitors (3x3 in front) with quad 2080s. With each monitor running @ 24K resolution.

Yeah but the 2090 is coming out I heard it runs 10,000,001 fps at 600 degrees with the super good stock cooler! And the new 28k monitors look sick!
