First budget build

I wanted to build my first gaming rig. There are so many choices from what to chose and I’m really confused. I wanted to go with a ryzen 3 1200 and overclock it and put a gtx 1050 or 1050 ti. Then I thought that a g4560 would be cheaper and perform as good. 

My budget is 400€ for the computer (max 500€) and around 200€ for a monitor, keyboard and mouse. 

I live in Estonia so everything slightly over msrp is a really good deal. I don’t know if it will change anything but I will order my parts from https://www.arvutitark.ee

Sorry for my spelling and grammar mistakes but English isn’t my main language. 

I hope that somebody who knows will help me. 

 

If I'm not wrong, Estonia is a EU country so you should be able to buy from everywhere in Europe, amazon included, without taxes?

 

As a general rule focus on getting a decent GPU like the 1050Ti, which allows a good experience at 1080p, and 8GB of memory to be sure to be running Windows and any game smoothly.

Get a 450-550W power supply, a case of your choice (Better if it has USB3.0 support) and eventually a DVD reader/writer if you really need it. You will need an HDD, try to go for a SATA3 1TB hard drive (7200RPM/32-64MB cache if possible).

 

Then with your remaining budget... the R3 much likely isn't an option anymore. It performs better than the G4560 for sure, but Intel in this case is the king of budget performance so grab that CPU and a cheap motherboard to go along with it.

Thanks for the reply. A friend of me said that buying from amazon isn’t a good idea and my father said that I should never buy tech from amazon so I wouldn’t go for buying parts from amazon.

Could you please suggest a budget friendly monitor at 1080p?

It's hard to suggest a product from a site I can barely understand.

Why do you say it's a bad idea? Basically everyone in the world buys from Amazon, and for a good reason (prices, service, 30 days full cash-back without questions ..).

 

For the monitor, in the 99-129€ price range search for a 1920x1080 with 60Hz monitor, TN panel with 1ms of grey-to-grey response time. Preferably with HDMI input, or DVI. Size from 23,8 to 27" are great choices.

 

VA/IPS/PLS panels have much better colors, better view angles and an overall better quality. A good response time for those are 4-6ms.
