Potential New build

[Jacka5597]

Hi, ripped these two builds of the PC subreddit, and would like opinions. I know more than the average person when it comes to PC'S and parts but i am by no means an expert, i get the second will be better due to the parts than the first but i was also wondering how long these would last before requiring upgrading. I don't have many games for the PC and im mainly considering getting one for Bethesda games, as i currently play on ps4 but the modding community is obviously much better on pc. So it would need to run fallout 4 and skyrim, as well as fallout new vegas i would say are the more demanding games i currently have.

 

The first is this,

Not so good PSU for both builds

Get RX 470/570/480/580 at a lower price

 

Add a SSD, add 8GB more RAM if budget allows

[RadiatingLight]

Generally, it's better to spend more on the GPU than the CPU. so the build with the 1060 would in theory be better.

however, it's the 3GB version, so it sucks. what you should do is replace the 1060 3GB with an RX 480 4GB or an RX 470.

 

your two parts lists are in different currencies. what's your budget and in what currency

[Jacka5597]

cheers, ssd might have to wait for now, so another 8gb of ram, and a rx graphics and reccomendations on psu?

 

[Jacka5597]

yeah just noticed that im in the UK so £ and max budget would be 600 but thats squeezing the barrel, the second list comes to £568 so deffo swap for rx card

RX 480 / 580 / 470 / 570 graphics.

Anything over tier 3/4ish on the PSU tier list linked in my sig

I'd say that an SSD might be more important than 8GB of RAM. 8GB is enough for basically anything. no game bottleneck. an SSD won't improve game performance either, but it will make your new system feel a lot more responsive.

in regards to your ealier comment. yeah just noticed that im in the UK so £ and max budget would be 600 but thats squeezing the barrel, the second list comes to £568 so deffo swap for RX card which would last longer, i imagine its the 500 series as theyv'e only just released haven't they? thanks for the psu recomendations ill shall check them out in a bit as just about to head out and deffo get an ssd instead of more RAM

$10 over budget, but if you remove the SSD or change to a cheaper 128GB SSD, you can easily be under budget.

you could also remove the SSD and go for 16GB of RAM.

i think a better idea would be to go for a 1600 instead of an ssd

Fair enough. that's a possible upgrade path, but a 1400 is more than enough for a 570.

you could get rid of the SSD and get an RX 480/580, and 8 more GB of RAM for a more complete experience.
