Is this a good budget gaming build?

[Adrean123561]

Hello, I recently started looking for a good budget gaming PC for about 400$. I don't really know much about computer building. 

I made this build and I was wondering if it would be good for games like Minecraft, Terraria, CSGO, Rocket league and many others. 

 

Here's the link: https://pcpartpicker.com/user/Adrean123561/saved/2zj4CJ

 

Thanks so much for any help!

You don't need Z270 or that cooler. 

 

The GPU doesn't have pricing data.

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/dgpG8K did some tweaks to it you could drop down to a 1050ti and go with a b250 mobo if you wanted to cut cost more.

Check it out you will get Best Performance on your Budget... But I will recommend you to change Graphics card if you can move your budget upto 425$

On top of what the others have said, I wouldn't expect stunning performance in Minecraft. Those other games will work great, but Minecraft is an extremely poorly optimized game. Your best bet would be making sure it runs on your GPU, otherwise it'll automatically use your integrated graphics.

This may be one of the worst recommendations in the history of the LTT forum. Congratulations.

Why you think that...

Now check this if you want in Intel and if you still say bad then probably I should leave LTT Forum...

Coolmax PSU.. do you want to have some guys house burn down?

 

There is a stock cooler, and it's probably better than that cooler. 

 

6100 is overpriced

There is no such thing as "GTX 1030" it is GT 1030 FYI

I think that's still a terrible part list. A CPU choice that makes no sense (G4560 is cheaper and better) A fire hazard PSU, a random cooler that doesn't make any sense, a specific low-profile GPU that doesn't make any sense to spend extra on, and an HDD choice that doesn't make any sense either, given its poor value for space.

[Adrean123561]

Will there be a big performance difference between these two?

Thanks for all help!

[Hiitchy]

The difference between both cards is 0.03 Mhz of a difference on the boost clock. To me, that's almost negligible so It'd be entirely up to you based on what you like.

[Colexd]

They're technically the same though just different brands of gpu, mobo, and the hard drive

[MVPernula]

Take the cheaper one and save $0.79, buy some bubblegum with the money you saved.

 

But I'd generally get 1x8GB RAM instead of 2x4, you have more space for future upgrades that way

You should get a 7200 rpm drive, the blue series from western digital is more recommended for gaming.

Ok so its time to leave...

No, it's time to improve. Lots of people here have extensive experience with component selection. Here are some resources to get you started.

 

Power Supply Tier List by my friends @STRMfrmXMN, @Energycore, and @Starelementpoke- 

JonnyGuru- best site for PSU reviews.
http://www.jonnyguru.com/
 

People who are really good at parts lists-

@deXxterlab97, @herman mcpootis, @Droidbot, @DocSwag, @nerdslayer1.

 

Best YouTube channels for performance analysis and detailed, extensive comparisons

Digital Foundry- https://www.youtube.com/user/DigitalFoundry

 

Hardware Unboxed- https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCI8iQa1hv7oV_Z8D35vVuSg

 

Try to look for comparitive videos rather than using bad sites like 'CPUboss' or 'GPUboss' that offer no real performance figures.
