Fury will get bottlenecked by a low pentium HT. It gets bottlenecked in some games even with a 1050ti

You'll get better price for performance if you wait for Ryzen 5. Either it delivers and you get the same performance (or better performance) for cheaper, or at a minimum i'd say Intel will drop their prices.

 

Also, as for the first build, why are you sinking 100$ into a case when the components don't even add up to 1000$?

At this budget I wouldn't spend more then 50$ on a case.

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

if you're referring to the first build, he posted another thread asking for a $520 pc just an hour ago.

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.

 

 

i was making a point, for reference a i7 paired with rx480 would be a good build.

I dont care about his other builds. If he can spent $720 on the prebuilt he can spend $720 on his own build. Otherwise he should have linked a ~$500 prebuilt

It would be good if your were a content creator. An i5 and a 1070 would be better for gaming all-around. My build has an i7 paired with an old 7970. Works fine, but wouldn't be good if I were building it new. You can build a $500 PC with an i7 if you really wanted to.

most modern games you can see a noticeable difference between i7 and an i5. a i5 also will bottleneck a 1070 in certain games. getting a i7 is more futureproofing considering people keep cpus longer than gpus.

He was comparing the price points of the $520 and the $720. The first PCPP is just so we can compare the specs. If he cant afford the prebuilt there would be no use in linking it

future proofing blah blah blah. I would rather upgrade to a $300 CPU than to a $400 GPU (or even more if you want all those frames.)

yea, in 1080p a i5 bottlenecks a 1070 fyi.

Your point? Wait until you have some money, sell your old stuff and get new stuff (like me.)

..ok my point is to get a good cpu for the long run especially if you don't have the money.

I think we can compromise.

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

So the CXM's have a better build quality than the CX's from a few years ago?

Not a kit ram, may not work. Some NCIX guy gave me my ram separately so now it only runs at 1333

If you have a 1070 you won't be doing 1080p. I have a 960 and I either get 30fps ultra in SW battlefront, 50 fps high, or 60plus at med

the white label ones are MUCH better quality than the green ones.

 

that said.. once again.. even a green one would be better than some of the junk found in prebuilts..

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! 

SeaSonic SSP-350SE has more than enough capacity for the build and would save a bit. Or go with  Corsair CX450M.

 

TP-Link TL-WN781ND is fine for WiFi. But if your net support ac, consider something like  Gigabyte GC-WB867D-I REV 4.2.

The motherboard itself has integrated WiFi which is pretty good. You can buy Windows 10 Home for 35$ wheres Pro for 38$ from kinguin with buyer protection included.

Paul's Hardware bought it and proved it is legit.https://youtu.be/yXTqz3Fd28M

If you want you can go with RX 470, 1050 ti or 1050 and get a SSD.
