Final Build

[Coimbra22]

Hello guys i would like to know what do you think about my build:

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/3GQ3HN

 

any advices? 

i would like to know what do you think about the mobo?

should i spend a little bit more? 

thank you guys!

[Oswin]

everything looks good, could do some tweaks. you ok with the 8 gb 480?

[MrPants_]

Personally i'd invest in a better CPU and rather upgrade the GPU later. You could for example buy an i5 right now and upgrade the gpu later ^^

[iRileyx]

In the longrun a 8gb 480 would be better.
Also not the best SSD, same one that i have and the read/write speeds are alot slower than the 500+ it advertises, on 4k write and read tests it hits about 50 lol

[Simon771]

I would get S340 elite case. It has tempered glass that will look much better.

Had S340 case like the one in your link, but that plexi glass will scratch very easily. And it's simply not as clear.

 

It's only estetic, but I'm sure you won't regret spending 20-30$ more ... it will look amazing.

 

Otherwise I would say everything is decent.

I would get a rx 460 instead as the cpu will bottleneck you, it would be better to get a 460 and an i5 6400

Welcome to rebate nirvana.

[stconquest]

Mail in rebates do not make the purchase of a PC cheaper.  Some of you guys have $100 in MiRs... kinda ridiculous.

Went with @stconquest's 750 GB SSD as it was on sale. Also got a 22" monitor with a 60Hz refresh rate since these mid-range GPUs usually won't reach 144 FPS unless you bump down the graphics settings. You could swap out the case if you want but I went with the DIYPC D480 since its very minimalistic and I like DIYPC's designs in general.

at this point i would get a 6500, it has a better price/performance ratio

[Coimbra22]

Thank you for all the replies guys! im from Portugal so the prices here are a little bit higher! 

my inicial plane would be get an i3 and upgrade to an i5 down the road! 

and the 8gb rx480 is about 80$ more than the 4gb one!(in Portugal) so im not sure if it is worth it! 

dont pay a lot of attention to the monitor! i haven't decided yet! 

is it really rly worth it the 8gb one?

And im also planning to get an 1TB HDD later so thats why i only have 120 GB SDD

Get the GTX 1060 6GB. More horsepower, runs cooler and consumes less power.

both would not matter actually. but the rx 480 will benefit in the future but consumes more power

[Coimbra22]

do you think that the 450W is enough or should i rly get the 550w ?

keep in mind that in a few months ill get an i5
