Gaming build

[elvaldo03]

Hello! After a few weeks of studying the eshops, assembling some lists and poking hamsters, i have completed a pretty good list of components for a gaming PC. I am building this in Latvia (Eastern Europe). I will use this pc for 1080p gaming (Rocket League, BeamNG drive), and handbrake encoding. What changes would you recommend? Don't look at the prices. https://pcpartpicker.com/list/2KxkWX

grab a 1060 6gb as it will work better over the long term

I would recommend an RX480 4GB instead of the 1060 3GB (assuming you can get it for a similar price) or a 1060 6GB. That being said, the games you have listed are not very graphically intensive. You might be better off getting an even cheaper GPU like a 1050ti or Rx470 and using the saved money to upgrade to a i7-6700 to help with your encoding (unless that is one such application that would scale immensely with GPU acceleration)

 

but overall its a decent build and I doubt very much that you will be disappointed with it even if you changed nothing.

I would go for the RX480 4Gb or even RX470 8Gb. You dont want 3Gb in your VGA if you plan gaming next gen titles.

Also for the motherboard get a B150M Hyper, get some extra performance overclocking that CPU.

Yes, the RX480 4gb is about the same price as the 1060. I don't think you can overclock non k cpus on non Z170 boards. But i think maybe to get a 1050ti and with the saved money invest in a 6600k, Z170 mobo and a Hyper 212 EVO.
