Need help assembling gaming rig under 450

[jackar]

Hello,

I am looking for help assembling a pc rig that would push comfortable 60 frames at 1080 for the latest titles. 

I'm upgrading from older pc so things like hdd case and psu (400) and monitor are out and of budget.

 

Budget is 400€ or 450$. Id thought of at least 1060 6gb with either ryzen or maybe 6th gen i3 or i5 since cpu power isnt that necessary.

 

If you guys have experience or can recommend good value parts or which to avoid, how to split the cost, I would be very grateful.

If you can increase your budget, get the RX 470/RX 480

Really bad GPU and what makes you think he has a bad PSU?

I just picked a RX 480 by random.
I NEVER said that he has a bad PSU. If he wants to reuse the PSU, of course he can.

Hey, thanks for the replies. As stated, hdd and psu should stay from old rig.

What im looking for is to split the money between mobo, memory, cpu and gpu in such a way that gpu should be as powerful as it can without leaving it crippled by the rest. OC on cpu is not priority if it means more money can be put from mb to gpu.

Psu is 400watt 3rd party non modular one, if some money is necessary I can justify 500$/450€ that includes a basic psu.

 

This is what i managed to put together

Do you guys think that the cpu will be too low for cpu intensive games like bf or gta?

Picked a new PSU.

thank you. you guys basically share the G4560.

Concerning memory should I go with 1x8gb stick or 2x4gb for the dual channel? The diff is insignificant. Will the mobo support dual channel? I see you have linked H110 and B250. What are the difference between the chipsets? Is it possible to OC the cpu on any of these to push the extra performance?

When it comes to rx 480, is there a difference I should pay attention to other then clock speed? Which has has better potential for OC?

 

the psu i have is 400W from Blink, ill proly opt for a new one

2X4GB if the mobo has 4 RAM slots. Yes the mobo supports dual channel.
H110 needs BIOS update to work. B250 have M.2 slots.

You can't OC the G4560.
When choosing RX 480 you should go for the one that has a good cooling.

I personally recommend going with ryzen r5 1400 and rx 470 and then possibly upgrade to 580 or so. RX 470 is more than enough for 1080p, so if you can spend $500:

but if you don't want to, you still can save some money for future upgrade by buying rx 470.

and just showing: g4560 + rx 480 isn't very good for deus ex:

I'd get 1x8gb, saves you an extra slot for future upgrades.

B250 supports 2 extra ram slots and more PCI-e slots, but you shouldn't worry about it. h110 is enough.

no, both those chipsets and the CPU don't support overclocking.

don't get the reference model or gigabyte G1 gaming unless it's much cheaper, otherwise they're mostly the same.

ask the seller about the manufacture date, anything from November 2016 and later will support the g4560.

no. h110 boards from November 2016 and later should come with the kabylake bios, and it's already almost 6 months since the bios was released. and H110 boards also have m.2 slots.
