Building First PC

[EagleMyth]

Hello people,

 

Im going to build my first pc and these are the parts.

Do you have any improvements?

 

Cpu: I5 7500                                                            €208.95,-

Graphics: XFX RX480 8gb                                     €265,-

Motherboard: ASRock B250M Pro4                       €88,90

Case: Cooler Master N200                                      €49,90

Ram: Corsair Vengeance LPX 2x4gb (2133MHz)    €76,90  

(I just buy the cheapest kit 2133MHz)

Storage: WD Blue 1TB 7200rpm                             €54,85

PSU: Be Quiet! System Power 8 500W                    €52,90

Cpu cooler: Be Quiet! Pure Rock Slim                    €24,99

Total Price :                                                              €822,39,-

 

Im still thinking if I need a ssd, I thought a 120gb ssd isnt worth the price.

And a 240gb ssd costs €89,-.

I dont want to spend more than €830,-.

Kaby Lake CPU support 2400MHz RAM. Go for 1X8GB 2400MHz RAM

Aftermarket CPU cooler not necessary.

Get a better PSU if you can. The PSU you chose is not the worst but also not the best.

Get a 240/250/256GB SSD if you can afford.

I would suggest waiting for the R5 line up and getting something similar to this (prices are rough, may vary for where you are and the R5 price is the American price transferred to euros so probably will be incorrect)

 

list is here

yes it's over budget but not by much

what about the R5 line up, you could get a 6 core R5 in that budget

oh I anit saying that the R5 line up will be the best CPUs in the world (Same with the R7 line up) but I feel like the R7 line up you will be able to say something like this

 

No they are not as good as intels offerings, but they are cheaper than intels offerings and their performance is better than the offerings in that price range from intel. (Mainly in multi threaded loads)

 

Also gaming wise, I recon over the next few years games will be released and be optimised for AMD systems as well so they performance gap will become smaller over time, cause currently they are only optimised for intel systems as there was no point optimising it for AMD

Yeah they are great CPUs for streaming+gaming and workstations.

yea, so I think that this will be a good step as it might be a bit of future proofing, for the OP to extend into other things as well.

An Amd 1500x will be around the same prize.

a 1500X is a quad (4) core the 1600 is a hex (6) core so it will probably be worth paying slightly more for the extra 2 cores and 4 threads

It's  always better to pay a bit more xD. Im trying to stay under €1000 including a monitor, pc and windows. (Maybe some extra fans)

140 euros should be able to cover the monitor and windows easily enough

What? 

I going to buy a monitor for €120, and windows isn't that cheap

it depends where you get windows I believe there is places you can buy it for about $20 so about 20 euro, and I can get a windows from an old scrap PC off ebay for £10 so it's easily done within budget, so yea. don't panic to much about that

For sure you need a SSD, makes all the difference. Specially when you start having the OS with lots of software installed.

Can get rid of the Aftermarket cpu cooler, and get maybe a 500gb HDD instead of 1Tb, and the money saved, get a 240-250gb SSD.

Stock coolers will be fine for locked cpu's, you can't OC, so no real point for an aftermarket cpu cooler.

I only get 10% discount on windows products But I saw that I can buy it for $30 elsewhere. 

 

I do have another question, should I replace the Be Quiet psu with the corsair CX500? Its €10 more
