New budget build for gaming

[baloonis]

Greetings. I am planning a new PC build. Link: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/wtThr7

(I'll be adding a Samsung Evo SSD from my previous PC)

 

My budget is 500 euro and I am in Greece. This budget is strict and cannot be exceeded.

 

The PC will be used for gaming, e.g. Rocket League, platform games like Ori and the Blind Forest and Shiftlings or Little Nightmares, simulators like Euro Truck Simulator, possibly some ARPG like Grim Dawn, adventures such as Walking Dead, etc. Nothing too heavy. I want to be able to play at 1080p and 60 fps at medium settings at least.

 

I'll be using a single 1080p LG 22MP57VQ monitor that I have already and I don't plan to move to more monitors in the future.

 

I do not need to purchase keyboards/mice/external cd/dvd reader since I have them already too, but I will need to buy an Xbox controller.

 

I will need an OS, preferably Windows 10.

 

PCPartpicker gives a warning of incompatibility:

• Some Intel H110 chipset motherboards may need a BIOS update prior to using Kaby Lake-S CPUs. Upgrading the BIOS may require a different CPU that is supported by older BIOS revisions.

How do I overcome it?

 

Any other advise about the build is welcome. Thank you!

get a b250 motherboard

get windows 10 from kinguin/g2a

see if seasonic s12ii is chaeper or not

get a 1x8 ram not 2x4 so you can add more later

You've got one problem. You'll need a Sky Lake CPU to do an update for it to work with Kaby Lake. Unless the manufactures do send their motherboards with new BIOS.

The Grey CX are better now from their green counterpart.

Motherboard only has 2 ram slots...

what does green cs has to do with seasonic s12ii

i suggest him 1x8 ram so why does it matter that his board has 2 ram slots?

1. You said look at the SeasSonic. Which means changing out the current PSU. There are different models. Green and Grey CX PSUs. 
2. nevermind I thought you mean 4 dimm slots. My bad.

I'm wondering why you use US PCPP since you live at Greece
Here's my suggested build using Euros as currency:

1. Asus H110-K has electrolytic capacitors which may have shorter lifespan. I changed it to a Gigabyte one which has all solid caps. Make sure it has an updated BIOS.
2. Changed GPU to RX 570, provides more performance than 1050TI
3. Get cheap Windows from Kinguin.

I used US PCPP to show the parts because I know this is the format preferred in here. Also I do not know how else to present the components to reflect my country. Any advice is welcome  Also, thank you for the build, it looks very nice.

 

Also, will I be getting a legitimate Windows key form Kinguin? The price difference is quite big.

That's a good question about the Windows key. It's kind of unclear, but I wouldn't expect any support from Microsoft if anything goes wrong. The keys do work, according to everyone I've spoken with about it, but their sourcing is a little questionable. My recommendation would be to build the PC, put a gaming distro of Linux on it (not ideal, but a good temporary measure) then buy a full, non-shady version of windows when your budget allows for it. 

 

Best of luck with the build! 

 

EDIT: I advise that you get a motherboard with the B250 chipset, rather than H110. Having to buy a Skylake chip just to do a BIOS update would be pretty annoying. Gigabyte has a few decent options in your price range, though I'm unsure of their availability in your area. You'd need to do some research.
