Posted June 19, 2017 I have been recently working on planning my first pc build. The pc's are designed to be an entry gaming rig with a budget of 760 pounds. I have included the pcpartpicker links below. I have left two designs below. They are fairly similar and I would like to know which one would preform best theoretically. Any advice would be much appreciated on where I can improve the designs.

Posted June 19, 2017 Get the Corsair CXM (gray label). But make sure that you get a motherboard with a B350 chipset so you can overclock. And the RX 580 probably isn't in stock. -+-+- This is a reminder to clean the dust filters of your PC! -+-+- Main PC: Ryzen 5 1600 3.8GHz - RX 570 4GB - 2x8GB DDR4 - ASUS Prime X370-Pro - Shadow Rock 2 - Define S - Seasonic Prime Gold 650W 500GB NVME SSD - 1TB SATA SSD - 1TB HDD - Windows 10 Pro Dorm PC: i5 4590 - GTX 960 4GB - 2x4GB DDR3 - ASUS H81M2 - Dark Rock 3 - Define R3 - 250GB SATA SSD - Seasonic S12 430W - Windows 10 Pro - Linux Mint NAS: Pentium G4400 - 4GB DDR4 - Fujitsu Esprimo P556 - 250GB SATA SSD - 2 x 4TB NAS HDD - 12V PSU - OpenMediaVault Laptop: Dell Latitude E6520 - i5 2430M - 2x4GB DDR3 - 250GB SATA SSD - Windows 10 Pro - Linux Mint Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted June 19, 2017 Pretty similar performance, but I would go with the first one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted June 19, 2017 I'd go for something more like this: https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/ZqnRxY Reasoning: 1600 vs 1500x: 2 extra cores for ~20 pounds motherboard: need that B350 chipset for overclocking ram: 2 4gb cards is double the bandwidth of 1 8gb card and the trident z is known to overclock well when combined with ryzen. This is also 3200mhz ram instead of the 2400mhz you had. Unfortunately that means dropping to a 1060 3gb to stay in budget, but if you can find a 480 or 580 in stock for msrp, grab it. Edit: Alternatively you could drop the ssd like in your second build option to upgrade the gpu and get an ssd down the road. Build: Intel S2600gz, 2x E5-2670, EVGA SC 1070, Zotac 1060 6GB mini, 48GB Micron 1333mhz ECC DDR3, 2x Intel DPS-750XB 750 watt PSU https://pcpartpicker.com/user/elerek/saved/3T7D4D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
