New Gaming Pc build

[Lock It]

Hey everyone, Ive been learning about computer hardware for a while now so I have a pretty good Idea of what I want/need I just need a opinion on some stuff...
 

So what im thinking on building is something arround 900 euros:

Cpu- R5 1500x / i5 7500 ( leaning more and more towards the red team atm)

 

Gpu-1060 3gb VRAM ( well 6gb are simply not worth, as no game uses it and I dont think ill be 
                                    playing alot of AAA titiles, maybe 1 or 2 but still)

 

Coller-If I go with AMD ill try out the stock one, ive seen overclocking it with the stock cooler (fan at max speed, which I dont mind the noice rly) at 60 ich degrees , which isnt bad at all. ( arround 3.8Ghz)/ intel maybe TX3 or hyper 212 evo

 

Ram- havent decided yet rly, but its in the 8gb world, and as ryzen uses the higher F , arround 2800Mzh maybe?

 

Case- NXZT s340 elite( I give alot of **** to asthetics)

 

PSU- Corsair VS550W (will it handle it all? main question here)

 

Motherboard- Asus Prime B350 Plus

 

HDD- 1TB blue WD

 

SSD- Samsung 850 Evo 250 gb

 

Thats it I guess, Ill mostly use it for gaming, but I want to start streaming a bit and rendering videos for youtube etc ( thats why im leaning a bit more towards the red team )
Thanks all, cheers for Portuga!

Keep in mind that the 6GB version has more VRAM and more CUDA cores. (GTX 1060 3GB: 1152 CUDA cores, GTX 1060 6GB: 1280 CUDA cores)

Don't get this PSU, it's a low quality one. Get a Corsair CXM (with gray label) or a Seasonic S12 II. But 550W will be enough.

[zzzzzzzhhh]

I highly recommend going for the Ryzen CPU, getting the MasterBox 5 instead of the S340, 6gb GTX 1060 model is worth it to make it more 'future-proof', trust me.

[LienusLateTips]

Get RX580 or 1060 6GB. It's worth it.

 

Also change PSU to either grey CXM, EVGA B3 or Seasonic M12II.

[GDRRiley]

grab the 1500 (nonX) better psu, make sure to read the continuity guidelines, you put this in the wrong section and welcome to the forum

I think if he really wants to have the S340 Elite, he should buy it. But the Ryzen 5 1600 is an awesome CPU. I ordered one today.

Getting a RX 580 for a reasonable price is almost impossible in some countries.

Go for 16 gb of ram

And get the Rm550x for the power supply they are better

No, the S340 is way overrated.

Here In portugal a RX 580 4gb goes arround the same price as the Gtx 1060 3gb, and as for now most games are still using DX 11 + shadowplay ;), not putting in question the quality of the rx 580 but the most bang for the buck I belive to be the 1060

Are you sure that those RX 580s are in stock?

I know the 6gb are future proof the prob is that im on a budget and the upgrade its 50 euros more ;), ( got to love taxes here ) , I would have to cut those 50 somewhere I would want to ..., still thx alot for your opinion ill take it in consideration.

Yup but if you can see the numbers run the comparisons RX 580- https://www.pcdiga.com/graficas-amd/motor-gráfico-(gpu)/radeon-rx-580

1060 - https://www.pcdiga.com/graficas-nvidia/motor-gráfico-(gpu)/geforce-gtx-1060

Its probably the cheapest portuguese tech shop, if you dont feel confortable openning those dont, but by any means give it a look.

Again the same problem, tight budget 30 euros more , worth it? Sure, can I do it? probably not ;(

But the the question is if you really want to get such an expensive case.

 

And if you only want to game on your system spending more money on your GPU is more important then spending more money on your CPU. I would suggest you update your original post and change the PSU to the Seasonic S12 II or the Corsair CXM (gray label).

 

Don't get the i5 and use the stock cooler AMD provides. Maybe you could get the R5 1400 and overclock it so you have more money to spend on your GPU but I don't know much about the R5 1400 so it would be nice if someone else could tell you if this is a good idea or not. But keep in mind that the R5 1400 comes with a smaller cooler then the R5 1500X and R5 1600.

Yep its called the wraith stealth and from what ive heard isnt that great compared to the spire, in terms of PSU sure Ill check those out and start seeing their prices, about the gpu as I said before for me there is really 2 options the 3gb or 6gb , which I had alot of doubts soo like any other enthusiast I went to youtube! But seriously now "Tech deals" has a really in deph( arround 20m guide) about the 1060 alone, which he ends up saying "the deal " is the 3gb as no game requires more than that now, and probably wont in the next few years. Check it out if you have time , a really interesting video for sure!

The 2 PSUs I mentioned (Seasonic S12 II and Corsair CXM with gray label) are cheap but high quality PSUs. Personally I wouldn't get anything cheaper/worse then those. And don't get me wrong, these PSUs are both good. But the Corsair VS series is bad. Don't get one of those.

Do you think the CX 500W will get the job done, bare in mind im planning to overclock a bit the CPU, also the Seasonic S12 II 520W is an option both on the 60-70 euros price range

You could buy the cheapest case you could get so you can spend more money on other components and you can buy the case you want later when you have more money @Lock It.
