$1650 Gaming PC (AUS)

i've been planning out this build and saving up since Christmas 2016, I'm going to order all the parts June, 2017. I'll be running Windows, and mainly be playing Overwatch and some other games like ARK: Survival Evolved, Battlefield 1, etc. Any suggestions or feedback? this is my first time building a PC and help would be greatly appreciated.

 

Questions:

I know I don't have an SSD. Would it be worth shelling out the extra $100 for a boot SSD (120gb)? Also, could I buy one later instead? If I did, would this be hard to install?

CPU cooler not the best. At least get the hyper 212x/212evo

You picked a bad PSU. Refer to the PSU tier list. It will help you to pick a good PSU. Get at least tier 3 PSU.

240/250/256GB will be more worth it. If you buy one later, you need to move the OS and other stuffs to the SSD and the process is quite complicated (correct me. if I'm wrong)

This is what i would've opted for if i were you. I'd save some money on some components, and re-invest them into others. I don't know if you would like Ryzen or not, but it's what i opted for because it's cheap and should perform about the same. I absolutely encourage the use of an ssd, they're great. I switched the case to another one, seems like a horrible deal for the NZXT H440 for 192 AUD if you can get a 460X for 189.

So I've revised my list from both of your feedback (ZM Fong, MrAwesomepants) and I've come up with this. Is there anything else, or is this list looking good? Btw, thanks so much for your help.

 

https://au.pcpartpicker.com/user/Dioxyq/saved/#view=8Z9Q7P

 

Sidenotes:

1) I'd rather stay with the i5 than the Ryzen, but is there any major differences between the two?

2) I heard you can only overclock with the Z motherboards, but can you with the motherboard you've provided? (MrAwesomepants)

3) Also, the new list is a little more expensive than I'd like it to be, so is there any other way to cut down without sacrificing much? If there's not, thats fine, it's just I might have to wait a bit longer.

Just don't cheap out at memory. Ryzen's Infinity Fabric works well with high speed RAM I mean The higher the RAM speed the better performance. 3200MHZ-3600MHZ should be paired with Ryzen for Good performance. You can notice the performance difference in this video. Just notice the difference between different RAM speeds.

Hi M.A.P, 

What are the benefits/downfalls of going with Ryzen instead of my i5?

This one is 50$ more but is having GTX 1080. But for gaming 7700k or 6700k is better as it performs better than Ryzen 7 1700. I'll post Intel build too.

Hello Ben Cameron,

Ryzen 5 and 7 CPU are more future proof when compared to i7 and i5 due to more core count. You can see that Ryzen is performing good but still worse when compared to 7700k but still if you notice other benchmark videos only 60-80% of Ryzen CPU is utilised whereas 95-100% of Intel CPU is utilised. Ryzen CPUs are lacking optimization.We can't blame anyone here as Game developers are not having any new AMD CPU to develop and optimize games. In synthetic benchmarks Ryzen beats their Intel counterparts. Game developers are starting to optimize games for Ryzen so it takes time maybe 1 and half to 2 years minimum. Whereas in other tasks Ryzen is better than Intel as it beats Intel in almost everything except gaming. So for gaming Ryzen is not recommended as of now better no risk but if it is ok to lose few frames then you can go with Ryzen. Even the UEFI of AMD mobos are not in good condition I mean most of the mobos are able to run ram at 2933 MHZ max very few boards are able to run RAM at 3200 or 3600MHz.

A few things.

1) Aesthetics is important to me, and I'd rather get a better case now, rather than disassemble and upgrade later. Which would be a pain.

2) I've heard for gaming, the i7 has pretty much no affect on performance compared to the i5, but I'd be glad to hear your advice.

3) Will the motherboard be able to overclock, and hold to the standard that the one in my current list does?

4) I want an SSD, because boot times can be a pain on a HDD. If only the SSD for boot and a couple games.

5) I think the power supply is a little too close for comfort, especially for upgrades in the future. Any other suggestions?

6) I do want the 1080, but if it cuts out other important things, i'm happy for the 1070, unless you think those things might be easy to upgrade.

 

Will using the parts in your list detriment the performance of the PC compared to my list, which i'm guessing no, rather benefit. Is there anything I can do to get some of the things I wanted from my list (like the power supply, case and SSD) without going over-budget?

 

Thanks so much for your help.

 

 

Also, is there a Corsair equivalent of the RAM for the same price? I like the 3000 mhz, but Corsair is my go-to, trustworthy brand in terms of RAM

 

 

EDIT: I see now that with the cooler for the i5, the i7 is only $50 more, which is fine.

So, to summarise,

1) Is the 1080 worth a better case, an ssd and a better psu?

2) Can the motherboard do what my current one can?

1) GTX 1080 is good card performs 20-40% better depending on the game. Though I will recommend having SSD. PSU is really good one it is Tier 3 so for getting Tier 2 or 1 I'm sure that you need to spend 40aud minimum.

 

2) Z270 mobo has suppport for more PCI lanes and also 2 more USB ports and also it can OC whereas this one can't OC has less PCI Lanes and also less USB ports but still for running a single PCI e card the PCI lanes should be enough.

2) Games from last 2-3 years use those 8 threads so there is going to be performance increase sometimes even 15 fps.

We don't really know yet, but Ryzen has had a kinda wonky solution. It does feature double the threads, like a i7 7700k, but i'm not sure it'll match that performance. It's cheaper and it should be good. Let's just wait and see, you won't buy it until summer anyways. The 1500x will release in 5 days.

Yes, you can.

Lastly, next time it can be a good idea to tag someone, like this: @MrAwesomepants. Then they'll get a notification

Also, with your information in mind that you have specified, i think i've found something you'll be satisied with. I'm not @herman mcpootis, but i think this will suit your needs. Still Ryzen, to keep it cheaper ^^. We'll see in 5 days how it performs. A tad bit more expensive than you wanted, but i think this is good. You could save some on another SSD and another case easily, but things like the PSU and such are harder to replace. By far the easiest thing to save money on here though is the motherboard, and i assumed you liked the colours red, white and black as per in your original pcpartpicker, but this is the best cheap motherboard i found that doesn't look like horseshite imo.

I would like to go with the setup, bu the problem is it goes way over budget. You haven't included the cpu in your build, and adding the ryzen or i7 makes it go over $2000. I know that the 1080 is soemthing you want to get, but for my purposes I'd rather get my pc in two months rather than early next year. I appreciate your help, but right now if I get the 1080 and want to get my pc in two months, which I do, it's just not possible without sacrificing everything else about the build. In my current situation I'm going with the i7, the 1070, and whatever else is in my build currently, which is what i'm looking for feedback on. Thanks so much for your help, I appreciate it a lot.

OK, i've decided to go with the i7 as it's not that much more expensive and it sounds like a pretty decent upgrade. Thanks.

1: Sacrifice everything else in my build

or

2: Go wayyyy over budget.

Neither of these options are ideal for me right now, and considering the sorts of games i'm going to be playing (ie, not crisis 3 lol) the 1070 would suit my needs without having to having to do what I mentioned in these other options. I agree it would future proof it, but right now I feel the 1070 is fine for me. Thanks for your feedback.

 

2) I think i'll go the with z270 I have, overclocking is a big thing for me. Also more usb ports is a must have.

[Ben Cameron]

@M.A.P @MrAwesomepants Thank you both for your feedback. I really appreciate that you've gone out of your way to help me. Thanks. So, from reading your replies, I see the main part of the builds you've provided me with, have the 1080. Now, I do understand tha the 1080 is a big improvement over the 1070.  But, I started this build knowing that. Knowing that I would be using a lesser card so I could get everything else I wanted in my PC, while still getting a great performance from the 1070, from the games I would be playing, ie overwatch, csgo, oxygen not included, etc. So what i've concluded is that,

a) I can get the 1080 and sacrifice everything else I would've got, ie the ssd, a better psu, a better mobo, the case I wanted, etc.

b) I can wait until early next year, get the build I wanted with the 1080.

 

Right now, I want a build that works. To put it in perspective, I had been playing csgo on a mac last year and right now i'm on a ps4. I want a build which can give me great gaming performance without many drawbacks, and I can get by June. Right now, I've decided to go with the 1070. Any other feedback, which doesn't sacrifice the 1080 would be greatly appreciated.

 

Thank you so much for your feedback and help, It means a lot to me. I went into this build with no-one except YouTube guides and my own research to create this build. I'm so happy I've found such a great and helpful community. Thanks.

[Ben Cameron]

Also, I keep getting this compatibility message twice on pcpartpicker with my build, will this be a problem, and if so how can I fix it?

 

• The motherboard M.2 slot #0 shares bandwidth with SATA 6.0 Gb/s ports. When the M.2 slot is populated, two SATA 6Gb/s ports are disabled.
• The motherboard M.2 slot #1 shares bandwidth with SATA 6.0 Gb/s ports. When the M.2 slot is populated, two SATA 6Gb/s ports are disabled.

In my current situation I'm going with the i7, the 1070, and whatever else is in my build currently, which is what i'm looking for feedback on. Thanks so much for your help, I appreciate it a lot.

Also, I keep getting this compatibility message twice on pcpartpicker with my build, will this be a problem, and if so how can I fix it?

 

• The motherboard M.2 slot #0 shares bandwidth with SATA 6.0 Gb/s ports. When the M.2 slot is populated, two SATA 6Gb/s ports are disabled.
• The motherboard M.2 slot #1 shares bandwidth with SATA 6.0 Gb/s ports. When the M.2 slot is populated, two SATA 6Gb/s ports are disabled.

There is no fix for it. M.2 SSD you selected is having sata interface so few ports are disabled.

Does this list fix my problem?

I was looking at the pcpartpicker list, in which he hadn't. But even then, it sacrifices a lot of the things I wanted in the pc.
