First Build, need feedback please

[Auleo]

After watching LTT and NCIX on youtube for so long and other channels on youtube, granted i felt comfortable enough to create a build on PCPartPicker.com.

 

TL;DR, i just wanted something i could do basic gaming (720/1020 resoultion 30fps/60fps) and of course just internet streaming and such.

 

What I ask for is general feedback/alternatives to my choices and what to expect. While the idea of running on a i7 8 core overclocked monster and a Titan GPU sound fascinating, I like to keep it real, knowing I couldn't ever afford the glorious PC Master Race "standards". 4K sounds dreamy, 32GB of RAM looks rad, however I'm simple and easy to please.

 

Here's what I though could be a really cool thing that i somehow conjured up: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/HjLssJ

 

Thanks for anything and everything.

[Megah3rtz]

that processor/GPU won't be able to do any kind of modern gaming. 

[Auleo]

well that's two down, 9 more to go; alternatives? please and thank you

[Megah3rtz]

I have a 400$ build in my signature which has some pretty solid budget items. you could change up some things there to suit how you'd like. 

 

from those budget items keep the processor, power supply, graphics card, and everything else could be changed

If you're planning on running MS-DOS... it still probably won't run

You don't have to get a titan, an rx 470 will do fine for 1080p (just get an aftermarket version).  And an i5-6500 would work fine for a cpu.

Hmm, AMD APUs aren't that powerful, and the gpu won't do any heavy gaming like call of duty and such. Do you have a offcial budget?

Even a g4560 + RX460 is alright if you're okay with playing on medium for some games.

[NTDaws]

What games do you also plan to play.

How about something like this.

Granted I don't really want to spend more than 400, max 500. I really like AMD because it's the underdog for the CPU race. I know Intel is of course "leading and better" but I wanna give AMD a chance. I'm taking in everyone's thoughts and I seriously do appreciate all of your words

hah no 

[Auleo]

So here's the nutshell: 500 max, 1080p gaming solid 60fps. Also I'm shooting for a small form factor case and build.

Not right now. They just suck.

wait till the summer, they will have released their new CPU's then, and it will be a MUUUCH better option than buying an AMD processor right now. 

[Auleo]

I guess I wouldn't mind waiting around for a bit for the New AMD line of CPU's.  Is it Ryzen or Zen that's popping up?

both. Zen is the architecture, ryzen is the line of processors. 

 

They are expected late February-April afaik

Ultra dank, how much for one of these bad boys? Is it A New Hope against the Empire?

[JoostinOnline]

You could get by with a 750Ti if you only want 720p@60fps.  This one is on sale at Newegg for $80.  If you want 1080p, @herman mcpootis suggested a good build.

pricing hasn't been released but you can expect anywhere from 80-500$ or something depending on which one you buy

Its not the worse thing in the world.

[Auleo]

Alright you scrubs, (omg I'm sorry I didn't mean to say that I love you all) I revised it: and by revising I mean I kept the case, CPU cooler, thermal paste, optical drive, and case fan.

 

Decided to go for the Intel Pentium G4560,  an MSI  H11O1 motherboard, 2 4GB Kingston hyper fury X for RAM, and a Sapphire Radeon RX 470 for the GPU

 

Here's the link: https://pcpartpicker.com/user/Auleo/saved/N4Yf7P

 

Pros: this actually looks hella dope

Cons: it's basically 600$

 

Back to the drawing board! 

 

I really want to have this Cooler Master Elite 130 Mini ITX case because it looks like a GameCube.

UPDATE 3 (ithink...) 

 

I did it again:  https://pcpartpicker.com/list/Yncvm8

 

Maybe this is better
