Build A New PC

[FallenEngineer]

Hi, I'm Anthony

 

I have a several hundreds of bucks and i want to make a pc from it, here are the specs:

 

- Intel Core i5 6500

- Gigabyte H170M-DS3H

- Corsair Vengeance LPX 2 x 4 GB RAM @2400MHz

- Gigabyte Radeon RX 480 8GB VRAM

- 2 TB WD Blue

- Corsair 100R

- Power Logic Armageddon Voltron 500 watt - 80 Gold, Fan 12cm 

 

If i have another 300 dollars, which should i add/improve from my specs?

Here are my options:

- Upgrade the Graphic Card to Gigabyte GTX 1070 G1, Case to Corsair Carbide 400C

- Upgrade the Processor to Intel Core i7 6700k and mother board to ASRock Z170 Extreme 4

- Upgrade the Processor to Intel Core i7 6700 and add SDD (your recommend?) and additional 8GB RAM

- Upgrade the Processor to Intel Core i7 6700 and upgrade the HDD to 2TB WD Black and additional 8GB RAM

- Upgrade the Processor to Intel Core i5 6600 and upgrade the graphic card to Gigabyte GTX 1060 Gaming G1

 

And also you can recommend your own option or remake my option ex: Change the 8GB RAM to better PSU, or option 1 with additional RAM, or option 2 with corsair PSU, anything that you would thing to make my gaming experience maximum with that budget gaming pc

 

I Just only to play a decent pc games (say the witcher 3, shadow of mordor, rise of tomb rider, and overwatch) over 100 fps at 1080p ultra setting, and a smooth engineer software like adobe PS CS6, Autocad 2012, SAP, etc (not together ofc, i know it's impossible with this budget build)

 

 

Thank you for your help

first off, i highly doubt that armageddon psu is good. get a different unit instead. are you from singapore?

i'd recommend getting an i7/xeon and ssd if you're gonna do cpu-intensive tasks.

Yep, a 1070 would be a reasonable upgrade if he has a decent monitor. (ignore what I said earlier I though he was upgrading not building a new one).

 

I would get a SSD and get rid of that bomb power supply that isn't even listed in 80 plus website according to a quick google search.

[Castdeath97]

OP what monitor do you have?

[FallenEngineer]

@herman mcpootis i'm from Indonesia, and that's not really friendly with price. (say RX 480 who has MRSP 200 dollars sold 320 dollars in indonesia, and GTX 1070 has MRSP 430 dollars sold 600 dollars in indonesia, and so with another items) ok i'm looking forward to corsair psu.

@astrosheen okay, i'm now considering buying an ssd first with GPU come to next. actually i my self prefer GTX 1070, but with great specs comes high price.

which website do you have for pc parts?

[FallenEngineer]

@Castdeath97 okay, 2 people say, and i absolutely get rid that PSU, thanks for your input. (i nearly choose a bomb). actually now i'm playing in death laptop with 2.2 GHZ intel Core i5 5200-u to run my programs, 5400 rpm hard drive. only can play dota2 at medium setting at only 40 fps, which is killing me. And so, i dont have any monitor yet

 

 

Do you have suggestion which monitor i should pick for gaming (consider the color, refresh rate, durability, i prefer 22"-24")? i mean pls dont give me only just the brand, but the one of their product adn why u pick it?

(it comes with different budget lets say around 150 dollars?)

there you can see the price in rupiahs, which now Rp 13.500 is 1 dollar

Well you have two choices: 

 

1-You can spend more (around 240-270) and get a 1440p 60Hz monitor

2- Get a cheaper 1080p 144-120HZ monitor (around 200-240) so you can make use of the high frame rates you get with something like a 1070

 

Getting a 1080p 60HZ monitor is a bit of waste to be honest if you get something like a 1070 since you can't make use of the extra performance you get since you are limited to 1080p 60Hz.

superflower leadex gold is top notch if you can afford it(but any superflower, XFX psu in that website is good).

admire the choices you guys have btw, we have much fewer brands to choose from.

[FallenEngineer]

@Castdeath97 my bad, i haven't seen the monitor specs and price yet. so it's around 200-240 for 144Hz 1080p and 240-270 for 60Hz 1440 Hz monitor right?

 

well, more pixels trade with bucks and refresh rate.

well, if i can ask, will you select me a product? i will trust in u and choose what u choose. any brand, and type, that u think will sync my spec.

[FallenEngineer]

@herman mcpootis ofc i can, really thank you very much for your choice, it only differ 30 bucks with my bomb PSU, and it means nothing that risk all of my other components

The website you linked is terrible, can't find the resolution unless I click at it, would take ages!  Are there any filters?

[THFourteen]

No idea about your PSU but in my opinion going from HDD to SSD is one of the biggest most noticeable improvements on any system. 

 

Samsung EVO 850 any size you can afford altho 256 would be enough for Windows, office and a few games.

at least his has a website, all we get are some paper partslists and we have to search them out ourselves 

[FallenEngineer]

@Castdeath97 yes, it's terrible that's why the only component i dont learn yet is PSU and monitor. since they has many brand, and i dont know what performance. well u can pick from your used to website and i will look in indonesia computer store

[FallenEngineer]

@herman mcpootis haha true, i've going through websites to websites of another brand to another brand that make my brain wanna explode. choosing between nzxt, phanteks, nzxt, or silverstone at budget price taking 1 half day

if you wanna cheap out, armageddon budget cases are pretty decent(not their psus).

[FallenEngineer]

@THFourteen ok, i notice it. and along with new PSU brand, i will get SSD, GTX 1070, but is it okay with that motherboard and i5?

That's the fun bit!

[FallenEngineer]

@herman mcpootis i think that way too, the one i realized they all plastic, dont have dust filters, and many other popular brand has. Btw, do u think gtx 1070 is a good pair with that cheap motherboard and intel core i5? i'm afraid that the card drain too much power that makes my system forced to shut down like i watched yesterday on youtube

[FallenEngineer]

@Castdeath97 aww, thanks a lot for your help. i guess i will pick 1080p one

the gtx 1070 doesn't eat much power, a 500-550w is more than enough for it. even the hot AF hawaii r9 390 i have now can run perfectly fine on a cheapo 530w psu, and the 390 eats far more power than the 1070. its fine with the cheap mobo, but if you're playing 1080p 144hz get an i7/xeon, the i5 will bottleneck.
