Budget build tips, thoughts?

[Merkey]

Hi, I am making a budget build (under 530 euro) for my brother. He wants to play smoothly in 1080p, no editing or workload. Do you have any tips to improve it?

The total price is lower because some parts seem to not have prices in euros

I would suggest waiting for R3 because AMD manages the budget

Looks good but im not sure if there will be bottlenecking with the CPU and GPU (it shouldn't though). Also you will probably wanna buy windows if you don't already have it.

Much better GPU:

R3 will not fit the budget as the cheapest one is rumored at $110

Instead of that G4560 and that RX470, I would go with an i5 even from the sixth gen or maybe one already used because you could find some at really god prices and maybe a GTX1050ti.

How can you fit an i5 into a 530 Euros gaming build? A used CPU is okay, but OP may not prefer used parts.

 

Also, the RX 470/570 is way better than the 1050TI

Yes I would rather have slower cpu, good used parts are quite hard to find in my country

Thanks, isn't 620W PSU overkill for those parts though?

Yeah, but it's a tier 3 PSU so it's good enough and it will not kill your PC

The VS 350 could kill a PC? I have done a build with one and still no problems at all...

For low power builds, no problem.

It's a tier 6 PSU anyway, has bad build quality

 @STRMfrmXMN any thoughts?

5 euros over but:

Any PSU could kill a PC but the VS350 is a low-quality unit. I'd definitely not put it in a system that has a discrete GPU.

Ok thanks. Do you have any suggestions for good quality PSU, or what are generally features that indicate good quality PSU?

I have lots of suggestions but it depends on what your system requires and where you live. I can always recommend the Corsair CX550M or Seasonic S12 520W for the vast majority of systems without concern so I'd start there.
