Input on budget build

[RaynScarlett]

Hi guys I wanted to get an opinion on this hypothetical build. Hopefully this link will work lol.https://pcpartpicker.com/user/Hemingwaysimonp/saved/

old cpu and gpu

 

get a 1050 and a g4560 instead

That's a pretty bad build for only $600.  I'd change it around if I were you.  For $600, you should easily be able to fit at least an RX 570 in there, and I wouldn't go with the FM2+ platform now, not with Ryzen and Kaby Lake out.

for $600, that is pretty bad.

Here's a build that'd beat the shit out of that.  

It comes with Ryzen 5 and the RX 570.  Sure, only 8GB of RAM right now, but you can always upgrade later, comes with a TB HDD, and you get a fully modular PSU.

Old garbage architecture and a 1050.. 

 

For the same money you can barely fit a good AM4 build.

if you need to get a pc for that budget, try this and get OS from reddit for $20-30.

why the NEX? performance is very mediocre.

I was throwing together something real quick, it was the first option, lol.  All in all, I'd would pick something different if I put actual effort into the parts list.

A320 (no OC!) and trash B350 boards (+200Mhz OC max, probably) are the only boards in the similar price range.

seasonic G is around $50 after rebates, could have tried that.

[RaynScarlett]

Wow. Ok. Guys calm down.i haven't built a PC in 4 years. Thank you for the suggestions really but I'm not trying to start an all out war on what I didn't know. I was trying to use my knowledge from 4 years ago for this

[BluJay614]

For AMD (unless you don't mind waiting for Ryzen 3, which would give you alot more breathing room at this price!

For the price of that PSU might as well get a better one like EVGA B3.

For 4 years ago the build I submitted wasn't all that bad

Ok, I don't know what crawled up your ass and died, but fuck off if you are going to just sit here and be a dick.

So maybe y'all can calm down and just inform me or my lack of current knowledge and not insult me build?

what @Droidbot and @herman mcpootis did was pretty much good to go

Being fair, I wasn't insulting your build, I was being honest.  I only attempted to show you what would probably be better for your money. (granted I'd probably go with the Seasonic PSU @herman mcpootis mentioned)...

 

[RaynScarlett]

So I'll use that as a base. Sorry. Back then techsyndacate was still a thing and put out build videos every year and Linus doesn't really do that as much for budget builds
