Suggestion toward this this new low end gaming rig

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/kHWBRG

All games will be 1080p 60fps target games that I am after

Crysis 3

Player unknown battle grounds

Pay day 2

Sniper elite 3

Metro last light

Newest Metro due out

Final fantasy series

 

titles of this vintage are the period and similar games are what I am after

get a better GPU, look for an used gtx 970 or 980

Noice! I'd get a dual fan car though, as it'll let you OC better and run cooler. Wish I'd known this when I got my 1050 Ti. 

[3rrant]

I'd totally go with a Ryzen R5 1600 and Hyper 212 EVO combo to compensate for the cost, liquid cooling is a overkill. 

I'd suggest you also to go for a 2400-2666Mhz RAM if you can save a decent amount of bucks, since not all Ryzen can actually support high frequencies well (My 1700 can't handle 2400+ whatever).

Finally, you should really upgrade to a 570/580 4/8GB or 1060 6GB to be more confident with futureproofing

Forgot to Mention Price point trying to go under $800

Different PSU, that one is a firebomb.

Crysis 3 requires an i7+ for 1080p60. Just sayin'.

I know 1060 price is inflated, but it's still better than a 1050 Ti. Ryzen 5 1600 features a good stock cooler, no need for an aftermarket one imo.

You are overspending on your CPU cooler there.... don't bother getting one. Get an R5 1600, use the stock cooler, and take the money saved to put towards something else in your build, like your GPU.

 

get this motherbaord instead, more features (such as USB C) and better audio (probably won't notice the difference, but better is better) and in my opinion its better looking, not to mention cheaper if you use the rebate: https://pcpartpicker.com/product/XZCrxr/msi-b350m-mortar-micro-atx-am4-motherboard-b50m-mortar

Also comes in white (mortar arctic) although Its more expensive so i don't know if it would be worth the cost.

 

this memory is cheaper, faster, and comes with white LED's which don't require tackey cables and poor implementation to work: https://pcpartpicker.com/product/tBH48d/team-t-force-night-hawk-32gb-2-x-16gb-ddr4-3200-memory-thwd416g3200hc16cdc01

You could also get some tried and true tested TridentZ in a blck/wht aesthetic which should also go great with your case: https://pcpartpicker.com/product/4n648d/gskill-tridentz-series-16gb-2-x-8gb-ddr4-3200-memory-f4-3200c16d-16gtzkw

 

use the rest of your money to get a better GPU if you can, although that may be difficult with current market prices being so inflated in that range due to low stock... perhaps consult the used market and look for something like a 970/980, maybe if a 980ti if you're lucky. You could always wait until prices come back down, but there is no way to know when that might be.

The 1050ti is kinda like the the 970

[SPARTAN VI]

GeIL EVO X? I'm pretty sure that's the RGB RAM that doesn't power its LEDs from the socket and needs a motherboard header. If so, yuck. (Edit) Yep, you can see it in their marketing materials here:

 

 

You could easily drop down to 1x8GB DIMM to swing more at your GPU budget. In the future you can simply drop another $80 or so on a matching 8GB DIMM. But a GPU upgrade wouldn't be so easy/cheap.

nope, the gtx 970 is closer to a gtx 1060.

except that the 1050ti is a noticeably weaker card.

The 1060 6gb is about 3 fps lower than the 980

Essentially my goal is to built the best rig rig all new parts or parts I already own for under $800USD

this is my current part ownership

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/bwDkZ8

btw new case is a must and liquid cool is because I hate noise

no, a OC gtx 970 can match a stock gtx 980 FYI

The old cooler would work accept cooler master is not updating the bracket for am4 I asked them as I like the cooler as it is quiet at even full blast

[emilyadella]

so anyone want to spec me a $800 rig based on the above

[emilyadella]

My rethink on this as a $800 rig
