Building a $900 PC

[django_keyes]

Hey guys,

 

I am building a $900 dollar HTPC, and I was wondering what processor to go with. Here is my build as follows:

 

Fractal Design Node 202 with PSU

Cyborg C7 Air Cooler

EVGA 1050ti Mini SSC

A 1tb 2.5 inch Seagate hard drive

8GB 2400mhz Dominator Platinum

 

I was thinking about Ryzen, but I don't know if a 7500-7600 is better. I don't need to overclock.

 

Thanks and have a good day!

Ryzen would be better, could wait for R3 if you want to save.

Ok, I just don't need the extra cores, and the 7600 is great. Thanks!

could change a few things to fit the case but why not a build like this since your budget is 900.

Yea, this is for my dad, thanks dude!
