probably something like this then:

i3 6100

8gb ddr4 2133mhz

h110 motherboard

1tb hdd

400w psu

any case around $50 that fits the mobo

the stock cooler will do fine with an i3

Wait 2-3 weeks for Ryzen

 

Otherwise G4560 + B250 board and you're pretty much set

[charvey2000]

wouldn't a g4560 bottleneck the r9 380 though?

Did you decide on 620 watt cause that card draws more?

[charvey2000]

i'd go for that build listed above but a 620w psu is definately overkill

Not really no, but again, wait for Ryzen though if possible, you should end up with a $150 or under overclocking 4c/4t chip, rather than having a locked i5 or G4560

That PSU is just really good for the money, might as well go for it

[Samster8302]

I have a few months I'm just planning ahead

I suppose, but Ryzen should change literally everything, and sales will change, making the overall planning process worthless.

Could find your case though I suppose, I'd go for a Masterbox 5 if possible, runs about $60 USD

Pc PartPickers doesn't always reflect accuracy, I always source parts after using it as a rough guide, but good to know. DeXxter
