building a pc

[spenfur]

I'm building a new rig with a budget of $800 us. i want to use a ryzen 5 CPU and this is what I've come up with I'm looking for advice and any builds that are similar in performance(or better). https://pcpartpicker.com/user/Spenfur/saved/Gg8wP6

[QuantumBit]

Any reason why ryzen? Also get a kinguin key for windows for around $30

[spenfur]

why ryzen is because im after more of a multi purpose build

 

[Damascus]

One change that I strongly recommend is getting a 1600 instead and using its stock cooler.

[spenfur]

I'm just glad that 1050 ti was replaced with an rx 480. That choice had me chin scratching.

1050Ti is a shit chip for PCs without auxillary power connectors. Because who wouldn't put in $20-40 more and get yourself a superior card by every means

why is that the 1060 is better

I disagree. I watch lots of benchmarks too. You'll notice, quite often, the power draw on the 480 is low, while the stock 1060's are often overclocked. Also, they tend to avoid games like Resident Evil 7 and such where the rx470 can edge out the 1050. Vulkan enabled games are NEVER (well almost never) tested with it. 9x out of 10 they will disable options that the 1060 struggles with that the 480 handles fine.

 

Is the 480 leaps and bounds better? No, they still trade blows, it's just now the 480 is connecting with solid left hooks while the 1060 is landing a stiff jab.

 

It's tough to find nuetral sites, as most seem to be run by fan boyz of one or the other, but in nuetral sites, the 480 normally edges out the 1060 about 60% of the time, and when it loses (except in GTA V) the margin is normally smaller.

Very good resource.

I've yet to be convinced that AMD is better for multi-purpose machines.

my preference is AMD  because i use a lot of cores and threads for school work. trying to use only 2 cores for the past two years has more then killed my pc
