Thoughts on this build?

These following components are subject to change: GPU, SSD, HDD, Case, PSU, Case Fans.

GPU: Latest from AMD (Unless there's a G-Sync PLS monitor that wont break the bank.)

SSD/HDD: Whatever's got the best bang for my $.

Case: If there's a better option than the Define Mini C, then I'll probably go for it.

PSU: If there's a better option, I'll take it. (Minimum 80+ Gold/Fully Modular)

Case Fans: Max. level of noise is 20DB.

 

Budget is whatever. So long as it makes sense. Hence me getting a brand new 3570 for 150$ (CAD). There hasn't been any groundbreaking improvements in years, & I don't really need that much computing power right now. Just what's necessary for 1080p at 60FPS at absolute highest settings.

 

NOTE: This list only contains the MSRP prices. In other words, that's the worst case scenario. All prices are in CAD... As for the items I bought, I typed in the FULL price (Shipping, Item in question, taxes etc.)

The GPU is extremely overpriced, you'd better either wait or find a different seller. It is not worth THAT much.

The SSD from Crucial, same story. It's freaking overpriced. I got my 512GB 850 PRO for 160€ months ago, and it's 230€ right now. (IT, so +22% just of taxes).

Case: What do you mean by "better"? Features or personal like?

PSU: I do have a EVGA SUPERNOVA P2 1000W, actually had that for several years now and it is just fantastic. But, it doesn't change much between gold and platinum, you could spare some bucks on that too.

Fans: Search for review rather than the dB manifacturer says, you can set any fan to silent mode from the bios.

 

EDIT: Wait, are those CAD or USD?

CASE: By better, I mean more for my money. Basically something that's cheaper.

PSU : What about SeaSonic X Series? But the curent one is good In mY opinion

Case : If you want roomy case Fractal Design Define S is the option

Graphics Card : That is good, but i have seen other card (RX 480) that is $260 new, it is XFX GTR 8GB for complete name

 

overall it is quite good! Or should i say fabulous?

I want a GPU from Sapphire because of it's looks & cooling capabilities. As for the 480, well, a lot of them are constantly out of stock... Besides, I'll probably end up with AMD's new lineup of GPU's...

As for the PSU, the X series have gold on it, & yeah, I know the PSU is hidden, but in the future, if I upgrade to a windowed case, I do NOT want that gold. The SuperNOVA is much more color neutral.

GPU: Polaris cards are overpriced due to miners. If you want something new, an nvidia 1060 6gb will do it (1050ti is hard pushed to do 1080p ultra settings 60fps) If you don't mind used then Nvidia 970, AMD 285 or 380 or 380X.

 

Storage: I cant find info on your purchased "Samsung 830" since google replaced everything with the S8 phone (Samsung must have paid Google to do so). If it's an SSD then I think a new 1TB WD Blue or anything new and cheapest will do. If it's an HDD, then I think you should buy the cheapest HDD for apps, games, whatever you want to store and cheap 128GB SSD as boot drive. If you are after speed, then maybe a large SSD makes sense? I'll digress since I think that's waste of money, but there are people doing it.

 

PSU: I'd pick the EVGA Supernova G2 550W because it's cheaper and satisfies your requirements

 

CPU cooler: Dont really see the point on using an aftermarket cooler for an locked i5, but that's up to you.

I'll be using an SSD for boot drive, & an HDD of 2TB. Probably a BarraCuda...

PSU, I do agree, however, I want to insure that I'm safe for future upgrades. I want lots of flexibility.

Just checked, the 550W G2 costs $111 and 650W G2 costs $120. I'd change my idea to the 650W one.

Ok then i guess it is officially a fabulous pc gaming
