New build idea

[Azazel166]

I was looking at building a new 2066 rig and I was wondering what people think a good "budget" entry is for 2066.

I'm looking at an i5 7640x 4gb ram a 1tb hard drive an mis x299 raider motherboard. I already have a 1070 for the build.

You either know nothing about builds or you're trolling.

 

What's the point of this build with that budget? Really.

Why would you ever want to buy a Kaby Lake-X CPU, let alone the i5-7640X? Not to mention you have no SSD, a mediocre PSU and a measly 4GB of memory.

 

The words "budget" and "X299" shouldn't exist in the same sentence. Be smart and get a R5 1600 + B350 motherboard.

X299 is not worth it unless you are buying a 10 core.

 

Personally I would do this

Intel Are so stupid for Releasing an i5 on the x299 platform. So stupid of them. Don't buy the system. Get a Ryzen system.
