Is the PC only for gaming? What resolution you're going to game at?

 

Make sure the mobo BIOS is updated

Get 16GB RAM

Get a better PSU

 

If possible, get 6700K/7700K, a decent aftermarket cooler and Z170/Z270 mobo for better gaming performance

1. Where do you live?
2. What's your budget?
3. What's your purpose?
4. On what resolution do you want to game?

He's helping me to build a pc,

its gonna be mainly for gaming probably for streaming as well on twitch

when im not using the pc for gaming it will run GNS3 Lab 

the specs posted is 8GB Ram x2 Sticks (cost pref - 16GB stick is more expensive)

 

1 question - what does mobo means ? just so i can understand your suggestion 

[keenhydra]

For those games I think you could get away with a i7 6700 instead of a 7700. If you don't plan on overclocking it you don't have to get a k version.

 

8GB of ddr4 ram is sufficient but rather have 16GB, should be good to go

 

Also, for a power supply I would rather take a 650W just to be safe.

If you want streaming then better get Ryzen 7 CPU

 

Mobo means motherboard

Mobo means motherboard, the central component in your PC

Ryzen cpu? is it legit? never heard about them before (haven't been updated for the last 8 years)

Edit:

 

sorry i had no idea thats the series by AMD.

tho never had any experience with AMD isn't intel better?

[genexis_x]

Since Israel doesn't have PCPP, I'll list down the parts:

1. AMD Ryzen 7 1700

2. Any B350 mobo

3. Any 16GB high speed RAM (3000 or above, lower speed also fine if you know how to OC)

4. Any 1TB/2TB HDD

5. Any good SSD, this may help you to choose a good SSD:

6. Any GTX 1070 except reference cards (founders edition, blower style design)

7. Any case you like

8. Any decent PSU like Corsair CX-M grey and Seasonic S12II. Get any tier 1-3 PSU from here:

This is way over budget

No problem, I'll make some changes:

1. Ryzen 5 1600 CPU

2. RX 480/580 8GB or GTX 1060 6GB

3. Get low speed RAM and OC it

Edit: 4. HDD and SSD not necessary since you already have them

Edited May 17, 2017 by ZM Fong

[Roy Azami]

i got kingston SSD + WD HDD from my old pc should be fine i believe

does OC on ram is a must? or 2400GHZ can cut it ?

any special cooling (not a standard fan) for the CPU is needed?

[keenhydra]

Ryzen7 is great for streaming, it's just a bit expensive compared to what you selected.

 

I'm not sure how ryzen 5 does with streaming but I suppose a 6 core 12 thread processor would do fine. And they also ship with stock coolers, so no extra money going to an aftermarket cooler.

 

Try watching some videos about it on YouTube to learn what does what and what you actually need. Helped me a lot

1. Fine

2. Yeah Ryzen CPUs benefit from high speed RAM, it's advisable to OC it

3. The stock cooler is pretty decent. Aftermarket cooler not necessary

Looks good

Ryzen 5 1600 also not a bad choice, and it's cheaper

SSD not that good but that's fine

the difference between ryzen 5 1600 and the 7 1700 is about 100$ i think it worth the effort 

[genexis_x]

@Roy Azami are there any cheaper GTX 1070 in your country?
