First budget PC

[Tempura]

So Guys, I'm trying to build my first budget Gaming PC. Before I buy the parts, I would like to ask you guys if this build is fine or is there some problem with my build.

 

CPU: Intel® Core™ i3-6100

Motherboard: GIGABYTE GA-H110M-DS2 LGA 1151 Motherboard

GPU: ZOTAC GeForce GTX 1060 Mini ZT-P10610A-10L 3GB 192 bit GDDR5

RAM: G.Skill black Ripjaws4 288pin DDR4 2400MHz 8GB(8GBx1)

PSU: Corsair VS Series VS550 — 550 Watt Power Supply

 

I have a very low budget that's why i chose i3-6100 for my CPU.

I saw some videos that i3-6100 and the zotac gtx 1060 mini runs well on some games with high graphic settings, and i'm also aware of the bottlenecks on some cpu-intensive games.

 

Any Recommendations ?

This build is pretty solid, as far as budget builds are concerned. I don't really see any glaring issues, though I do recommend an SSD.

Depending on what your are gonna play, think about upgrading GPU to 6gb version.

I would pick up Pentium G4560 and throw that money to upgrade to 1060 6GB or RX 480 8 GB

get a G4560, performance is only very slightly worse but much cheaper.

get the RX 480/70 instead of the gtx 1060 3gb.

get a better PSU, the VS isn't good. a seasonic s12ii or cx450m would be better.

[Devansh Kumar]

Yeah,  I agree with frozeNNN . You can save like 40$ by going with the pentium g4560  Thi i3 and pentium perform pretty much the same. Thow In a 120 GIg SSD in there and you should be good to go. Also , I would recommend getting RX 480 4 GB instead of 1060 3gb , almost same price

[Castdeath97]

Get the G4560 pentium, a 1060 6GB and a better power supply (CXM, CS, or heck even the CX or 500B will do better than this PSU).

EVGA 80+ non bronze units aren't that great as well. The 450W CXM for 4.4 more USD is a better buy.

yea probably, its just my go to as i have built around 5 computers for friends with them and they have been fine. its just from experience. but the one i put in the build is the bronze version anyway.

Thank for the great reply guys.. I'm considering buying RX 480 or a gtx 1060 6gb instead of gtx 1060 3gb. And i will buy the G4560 after searching for a while, it is cheaper and almost thesame as the 6100..  I am also not sure for my choice of PSU and thank you for pointing that out. I don't want to go all my money to waste. Thank you for all the suggestions.

There is a Tier List in the Power Supply sub-forum.

Try and get a Tier 3 and up

Good options that have been mentioned prior are a Seasonic M12ii (Modular) or Seasonic S12ii (Semi-Modular), or Corsair CX450M.

You don't wanna cheap out on the PSU, it's the 1 part that is crucial for systems.

I'm going to look into that power supply forum.. Thank you for the suggestion.
