noob will this work?

[ACupOfSaltTV]

will this work? i want to upgrade my pre built $500 pc and i know little to nothing about computers. i spent the last few days researching and to my knowledge this should work. i have a gigabyte GA-78LMT-S2 motherboard. so will this work?

That FX will bottleneck the 1070 badly, would recommend upgrading to R5 first instead. 

[ACupOfSaltTV]

r5? is that ryzen 5? thats am4 i have a am3+ socket

[yathis]

Yeah them FX chips are fucking literal shit.

Just upgrade to Ryzen!

I know, thats why I am suggesting you upgrade to that or wait for R3. That FX will bottleneck it really badly, wont get more than 50-60 fps at 1080p in many games. 

[yathis]

Yeaaaaaaaa buy Ryzen

[Castdeath97]

Change to a B250 motherboard and get a R5 1400 or wait for R3 to come out. The FX CPUs should be reserved for museums not PCs.

So go 1500X Ryzen and wait for a good gpu

It'l work but I think for a first build this is pretty unbalanced. When your building a PC, you want to balance your components so you have a PC that's all around good. For example, take these builds as an example:

Expensive CPU + Bad GPU = crappy FPS ( no matter what CPU you use)
Expensive GPU + Bad CPU (What you've done) = crappy FPS

Good CPU, Good GPU and 20$ PSU + mobo = R.I.P PC in 6 months

 

The FX lineup is pretty bad... Ryzen has a +55% IPC improvement, meaning it does 55% more instructions for each clock the CPU does. That's a HUGE improvement, as well as way better power efficiency.

If I were you, i'd step down that 1070 to a basic 10606GB or RX580/RX480, step down that 3TB to a 1TB (unless you really need 3tb) and use the money you save to get a new motherboard and Ryzen CPU (The 1600 is a fantastic CPU).

like i said with the other guy i'm not rich this is for my 18 birthday and that in august so waiting isn't really an option

I am starting you off at a good CPU the 1500X, then cheaping out on everything else and left out the gpu.

Still got $140 left over. Maybe bump up the ram from 4GB to 8GB, and up the storage a bit too if needed.

 i should probably add that it's not primarily gaming i do video editing witch from what i read is better to have a better GPU than CPU. but i might step down on the 1070 and do a 1060. it's still a HUGE upgrade from my Radeon R7 200

What the fuck ?!

4 GB's of RAM m8 better put 8 GB @ 3200 MHz and 1400 instead of 1500X

RX 580 is really good GPU for 1080p gaming

[yathis]

No no, dont go 1400, go 1500X. Best to stick with a good cpu, can always match the ram to 8gb later on.

i currently have 8 gigs and i'm at 50% idle and 80-90% while gaming/recording/editing  and i do need a new GPU i cant record and game at 720p 60FPS let alone 1080p  

[yathis]

Ok then, step up a bit extra cash to add to the $140 left over, and buy AMD RX gpu

RX480

The 1060 will serve you very well. Even the 570 is a pretty big upgrade from that.
As for CPU and GPU, GPU is better for smoother photoshop, however if this was me, I'd get a CPU first. CPUs are the foundation on a PC and many people don't upgrade them for years as they don't need upgrading and tend to hold up pretty well (The 4790k for example still doesn't bottleneck much), so I think a fast Ryzen CPU would be a good investment for a strong base build.

my motherboard ram support  can only go up to 1600MHz as like the max for my motherboard

R5 1400 + 8 GB 3200 or 3000 MHz + RX 580 and bump you've got new editing rig. Sell your old FX.

Ryzen will destroy FX in video editing :

fast Ryzen CPU

I agree thats why I picked the 1500X, because of its faster clock speed.

[rn8686]

R5 1600 + 580 8GB (1060 6GB if you cant get it in stock), this will be better than your above list (Just add your own storage)

and way better IPC compared to FX
