Project Dingus

Hello all!! My gaming rig is in the planning stages. I have a 400 dollar budget, and I can go 5 USD over it (lol)

 

I have an Apevia X-QPACK3-WHT MATX case, an Asus H110M-E/M.2 mobo, an Intel Celeron G3930 CPU (stock cooler because I'm cutting corners,) 8GB of Crucial DDR4 at 2133 mhz, an EVGA 1050 TI GAMING, and, here's the kicker, a SeaSonic 300W PSU. I have two 2.5 inch HDDs from previous laptops, and three 3.5 inch HDDs from salvage desktops. I will be able to use both 2.5 inch HDDs and 2 3.5 inch HDDs in the case listed above. 

 

This all totals to $0.87 cents over budget (proud of myself here) with 3 day shipping on everything from Newegg.

 

It'll mainly be for 720p to 1080p gaming, occasional YouTube video creation, and webbing as normal. 

 

My main questions are the following:

     Is the PSU going to be capable of running the listed hardware? I can go without the 3.5 inch HDDs if not, they are actually lower capacity than the 2.5 inch ones. 

 

     Is anyone aware of a 4-pin molex to 12V DC male adapter? I want to install some RGB leds I got as a gift, but they run off wall power with a 12V DC connector. If such an adapter exists, would I be able to install it without using too much power.

By the way, I know I have a previous post about a new rig, but those hopes were visciously taken from me

That PSU can run everything just fine. Though, you're not going to be doing much with a celeron.

I'm not too worried about being able to do much. I don't play many "modern" games. The newest game I touch is ARK, and I usually play that on my PS4

scrape up $10 and buy a g4560, it has hyperthreading and is much better for gaming and multithreaded tasks

I can probably knock something down to Super EggSaver. Is that still LGA1151?

Where can I find one? Amazon has it for prime only, Newegg is out of stock, and I live about 3 hours from the nearest componentry store. Would the G3930 be able to hang long enough for me to wait to get it?

The problem is, as soon as you buy a CPU it loses its value unless you return it to the manufacturer, which isn't always an option if you don't keep every little thing that's in the box. I recommend waiting until it comes back in stock or checking other websites.

Well I actually have a PC my uncle uses, and it's on the LGA 1151 platform, so I could upgrade him to the 3930 because his is even more useless than that.

 

Alternatively, could I build this system cheaper/better if I go AMD?

UPDATE: 

 

Changed it around to an FX4300 and RX470 Combo deal, 8GB ddr3, and an ASRock N68C-GS4 mobo
