Good Build?

[Terminator7577]

I got about $520 USD to make a build so here is my thoughts https://pcpartpicker.com/list/C2JQxY. Anyone know of a good wifi adapter I should use for this? Thanks! 

[Terminator7577]

Can someone help me with the price vs. performance of this two builds? https://pcpartpicker.com/list/R48cjc vs https://pcpartpicker.com/list/C2JQxY By the way the first one is based off a pre-built pc on amazon that is actually selling for $720

I would say the 1st one will be better, but both of them has some flaws. What's your budget?

[Daniel Z.]

What is your budget, I'll make a list. 

[The Sloth]

- cheaper windows like kinguin

- don't need cd drive 

- bigger psu

- ssd

- get an i7 

-get cheaper ram

-get cheaper case

at $900? lol dude

[Herman Mcpootis]

If your budget is $520 like what you said on your last thread, i'd recommend this and get OS from reddit for $20-30.

An i7 for $900 is very possible.

[Moress]

Get the one off of amazon, then save up ~$60 to replace the PSU asap

Actually read the post instead of just clicking the links. The first pc is actually $720 from amazon

You'd be way better off spending that $900 on parts other than a $350 CPU. That's over 1/3 the budget.

it does not have the components you think it has:

- expect a mobo in the $30 price range, rather than 85, with quality to match

- the hard drive is whatever is cheapest at the time, i feel like i got very lucky with a 1TB barracuda in my prebuilt

- you bet your ass that's the cheapest RX480 they could find

- cases mean performance right? the one piece where prebuilts could actually show a significant cost savings is now their most expensive component

- if it has an optical drive, look at point 2

- they appareantly can get windows cheaper, although i doubt for most it's as much as people keep telling you

- the built in wifi is more than likely a horror show. i have my experiences...

 

EDIT: whoops, forgot this one

- for as much as the evga 430w is a horror show, whatever they decide to put in said prebuilt is worse.

white label CXM's are actually pretty respectable, certainly compared to the junk in prebuilts.

For $50 more https://pcpartpicker.com/list/t3bYqk ($30 for Delirious)

1070 vs 480 is not even a contest. Even better if you can find a used 980ti for cheaper (like my friend, like new 980ti $300.)

 

you guys pairing an i7 with a 480 for gaming lol. If you go used or old architecture you could get an i7 and a 1070.
