[Robitzu]

I want to know if all my setup is good, and if it is i'll order it.

Main components:
CPU: INTEL I3-6100, 3.7GHz, 3MB, BX80662I36100
GPU: Asus GeForce GTX 960 Strix DirectCU II 4GB DDR5 128Bit
PSU: Corsair CX-M Series CX450M SEMI-MODULAR
MOBO: GA-H110M-S2V DDR3
RAM: CRUCIAL 4GB DDR3L, 1600MHz, CL11, CT51264BD160B
HDD: Toshiba 500GB 7200RPM 32MB SATA III
Case: Segotep Case AND Black-Red

 

I know that i need 8 gbs of ram, but i don't have the money for it, right now.

The new CX is far better. Don't spread this video around about the CX450M/550M, etc.

I mean... it's not great but it'll play some games alright with just 4GB of RAM. Could you hold off on buying a GPU so you could have 8 GB now and then get a GPU when you have cash later?

I don't know, the psu is good or not?
And what GPU should i get?

The PSU is fine, don't worry about it.

 

The 960 is definitely not what you should get to say the least. As I said, just hold off on the GPU. Your system has onboard graphics and it will make do for awhile. Start off with 8 GB RAM now, not later. Once you've saved up money, grab an RX470 or something along the price of that when it's released (which I think is today in North America).

You can save some money and the get the EVGA 500w Bronze PSU.

Yeah, about that i'm not from America/Canada, i'm from Romania, and here the prices are more buffed like 400$ for an gtx 1060

and the rx 480 is somewhere like 400$ 440$-ish

LOL,the 500w Bronze is worse than this PSU he has which is NOT A CX,but a CXM

What is the price of the r9 380 (4gb) and the GTX 960 (4gb)?

 

Don't look at the 2gb model's since 2gb's of VRAM is not enough for today's standards

Too bad mate, EVGA PSU are not available in my country.

That PSU is cheaper as it's worse. Not a very good PSU, to be honest.

Holy wow... that's a lot of money. Can you get something like a used R9 380 or something like that for a more reasonable amount? If a 1060 costs $400 in Romania then I would assume an RX470 would cost around $280. Would that fit in your price range better? I still maintain that you should buy a GPU *later* and not now. You need 8GB RAM now.

Somewhere around 220$-230$

Nope the 960/r9 380 is somewhere 220-230$

And the used things, here is some site similar to craglist, but most of the cases you get just screwed 

 

My total money that i have for the build are 562.5$ US$

Is there any site where you can go to the guy and have a first hand test?

Most people have that mentality about buying used hardware but it's honestly not as bad as most make it out to be. My mother is the only woman I've ever met that uses Craigslist here and it surprises me as, although this is super anecdotal, she has never had any problems. If you feel like you'll be unsafe then go with another person or if you think that they're overcharging then don't buy from them.

Talk about it,where i live the GTX 970 is $550,talk about expensive,good thing we have ebay

This site that i'm talking about is this type of thing, like going to the guy, or have 5 minutes inspecting what you buy if it comes through the courier

But, i'm living in a small f*****g town

Yeah, i don't have a problem buying from the "romanian craglist" but, let's say, i've seen a good offer for an gtx 960 4gb but you have only 5 minutes time to inspect the item

Sorry to hear about that  Sometimes it's actually cheaper to buy online from US sites like Newegg and then have the product shipped but I'll let you figure out the cheapest way to get your GPU.

 

But, again and again, I have said to hold off on getting a GPU. Get 8GB RAM now and get the best GPU you can afford when you've re-accumulated money.

i though to the shipping thing, like buying from newegg but it will charge for the shipping, and i'll lose some money due to exchanging them into dollars

But anyway, i don't even know for what gpu to be saving.. and if i should go with more money in the CPU first and 8 gb of ram

The i3 + 8GB of RAM will do for now. Hopefully you can earn enough money to pay for an RX470, RX480, GTX 1060, etc. later on.

Thinking like this, i'll remain with half the money for an gtx 1060, and i don't really know where to start earning money...

BTW i'm not over 18 so i can't get a job
