Was that a prebuild, or did you build it yourself?

R5, 6Gb 1060 or 580. SSD also would have been good.

Well, you could have gotten a Ryzen 5 1500X, which would defitnely perform better and more "future proof". Secondly, the GTX 1060 3GB has it's issues. Mostly because of it's VRAM limitation. 3GB will not be enough for future games. If you habe the money, get the 1060 6GB.

Power supply is rather terrible quality and you should've got a R5 processor over that locked i5.

yeah i was flipflopping between ryzen and kabylake but i didnt have any plan on overclocking anytime soon. so went with the 7500. and im also concerned about the vram. hope i can play well with it for atleast 2-3 years(i dont mind cranking down the settings a little)

really? the power supply was the only part i didnt think hard about. my bad

I think you wasted most of that muney on that cpu as they all said ryzen much batter! Could have gotten a r5 1600 or smthing... intel a bit too expensive. Unless da G4560

It's a common mistake. People tend to cheap out on the power supply.

I agree, the power supply very important.... I got a shitty one and it broke my gpu luckily it was just a gtx1050 and had warranty.

Not a bad build. it will game like a champ.

however, you could have gotten more value for money, and like others have said, that PSU isn't ideal by a long shot.

 

If you are planning to add an SSD in later, I'd highly recommend you partition your 1TB HDD into an 800GB section, and a 200GB section. this will make moving to an SSD WAY easier, since if you install windows on the 200GB partition, then your drive will not be too big for the SSD, and you'll have no problems with migration.

i would have recommended something like this rather than the build you picked.
