AMD Ryzen New Build!

[Guest]

This is a build i might look at purchasing in the future. Does it look functional for mid tier gaming?

Mid tier? More like high-end!

 

You can get R5 1600 more than enough.  

[Electronics Wizardy]

why the 1800x? Id personally get a 1600x for gaming, about the same perforamnce in games.

 

Id get a gtx 1070 or 1060 instead of a 580. Its hard to get a 580 for the msrp now and most are out of stock.

no, get a 1700 instead of an 1800x (theyre literally the same other than a few hundred mhz, and that can be overclocked away) and get another 580 for crossfire
Edit: i also recommend the g602 for your mouse. unless you play at dpis over 2500, itll be better

Yeah, Unless you mind waiting a week or 2 amd seems to have been hogged by cryptominers for the moment. Also, If your going for gaming get a 1600/1600x. You can o/c it just a bit and it will perform on par if not better than an 1800x for what you want

[Mooshi]

In no instance is a 1800x a good idea. Either get the 1700 which is the same thing since Ryzen caps around 4ghz or the cheaper 1600.

 

For pure gaming, there is no benefit with the 8core chips.

There are use cases for the 1800X, but that's more professional work that can get the use out of the Boost clock.  Most people don't OC their CPUs.  For most consumers? Go for the 1700 (or 1700X if you get a combo deal for cheaper).

 

As for the build, looks fine, but I don't have experience with the specific peripherals chosen.  Thus I can't comment if they're good or bad.

 

Graphics card, however, could very well be an issue.  When are you planning to buy?  If you can wait until the end of July for RX Vega information, it might be worth it.  (Plus, well, you might actually get a 580, as they're stupidly hard to get right now.)

520w cant sup your system especially when your graphic card at load

fckin g900 mouse is too expensive for me lol rather choose roccat pure kone military or newer pure kone

maybe the reason he chose 1800x because shitty mobo he's getting limited OC

if his mobo can support an 1800x, it can support an overclocked 1700.
and yeah, his psu is pretty bad

A seasonic M12ii is not bad at all. it's pretty decent, albeit old.

What are you talking about? 520W is more than enough for an RX 580.

Since when is RX 580 high end?

 

OP - No, that's pretty bad. 1800x is pointless. Motherboard is a bit meh for an R7 CPU. Don't use a wireless adapter, use home plugs if entirely necessary. Don't pay $100 for your OS. You can easily get a GTX 1070 or 1080 in to a $1500 system, so if this is just for gaming, it's horrible value.

 

So, answer a couple of questions for us;

is this just for gaming? If not, what else will you use it for?

What games will you be playing?

What monitor are you using?

Um, why i7? Why poorer quality case and PSU? Why cheap CPU cooler? Especially when the H7 is so close in price, and a good bit better, or you could save like $10 and get a Cryorig M9i or the Slim version of the Be Quiet Pure Rock and have similar temps with either.

an i7 is still the best cpu for gaming only. note what i said on that post:

that PSU is an EVGA B2. explain to me how it's supposed to be poorer quality than the M12ii.  the pure rock isn't far behind the H7, only 1-2 degrees worse.

one had a 4960x and the other had a 5960x and neither went past 400w under load.

because it has sub par soldering. The M12ii is a better quality unit, granted slightly, but still. It's also cheaper.

m'kay, but the H7 is still better. You also seemed to completely ignore this part;

"or you could save like $10 and get a Cryorig M9i or the Slim version of the Be Quiet Pure Rock and have similar temps with either."

actually, you can save money by getting a 1700 and overclock it.

The 1800x is literally the only high end component in the system.

I know.  1800x is waste, in my opinion.

"high-end" is a term that is subjective, i would classify the rx580 to be lower highend. 

low end rx460/560 

mid tier- rx470/570 

lower high end- rx480/580 

high-end- anything 1070 or higher.
