Need feedback for gaming/productivity PC

Here's my parts list:

CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 1600

GPU: EVGA GeForce GTX 750 Ti SC

Mobo: ASRock Fatal1ty AB350 Gaming K4

RAM: G.Skill Trident Z (2x 8GB, 3200MHz, CAS 16)

HDD: Western Digital Blue 2TB 5400rpm

Case: In Win 101 (Black/Red)

Fans: Ehhh... Some Corsair 120mm fans

PSU: EVGA 450 BT (80+ Bronze)

Keyboard: Redragon Kumara (Outemu Blue Switches)

Mouse: Logitech G303 Daedalus Apex OR G602 (I have both already)

 

So here's my dilemma: Should I stick with my 750Ti, get a 1050, a 1050Ti, or should I keep saving up money until we see Nvidia Volta's more budget-friendly options? Is there anything you would change, or is there an incompatibility that I should be cautious of?

Get the 1050ti...but what will you be playing?

Yes, I'm in the US, and my budget is somewhere around $600. I've already bought the less expensive components, like the keyboard, PSU, and mouse

Well, once I get this build done, I can use the money to get some games. I'm pretty sure I'll be playing GTA5, Fallout 4, PUBG, Battlefield 1, and Titanfall 2.

Would change that 750ti for a RX 560

1050Ti would warrant a much bigger upgrade.

 

I'd say 1050Ti.

I would go for a less powerful CPU (Ryzen 5 1400 perhaps) and upgrade the gpu instead.

You will want at least the 1050ti for those titles.

Also forgot to mention, you should get a better psu (corsair cx/m grey sticker and Seasonic S12ii/m12ii are good budget choices)

Is the RX560 that big of a jump though?

I've heard that there are some stuttering issues in games when using a Ryzen cpu with an Nvidia graphics card because of some sort of scheduler. Is this something I should worry about?

I would save for volta so you can get a better card or atleast prices for pascal will be much lower. only problem is you may have to wait up to a year. Also I am not sure what Productivty is for you but if your video editing Would reccomend wait for volt for sure due to HBM memeory and maybe try getting 32 gb of memory.

Ex frequent user here, still check in here occasionally. I stopped being a weeb in 2018 lol

 

For a reply please quote or  @Eduard the weeb me :D

 

Xayah Main in Lol, trying to learn Drums and guitar. Know how to film do photography, can do basic video editing

Yeah, but 32GB of good RAM would probably cost me around $300, and I might have to use 4 sticks to do that. However, Ryzen doesn't like to overclock with 4 dimms...

 

Edit: By "good", I mean high frequency and low-ish latency.

I said if you were video editing if not doesn't matter because you won't be rendering video. if you are looking purely gaming it depends how well you can wait and save because volta may take another year before its release but pascal cards will be cheaper and volta will probably be WAY faster.

You'll be fine with 16gb, better to spend on other parts . You can always add more ram later on. Unless you're doing stuff that actually uses more than 16gb.

I also noticed that you dont have an SSD in your build. Get one

It was right after the launch it had problems with ram like not reading it at it's rated speed or not detecting half the ram. But that has been mostly resolved other then defected cpus or mobos.

VIdeo editing other then that I'd stick with 16gbs of ram.

Well, I just got the new hard drive, and it was so much faster than my old raid 0 setup. :) Do you know of any cheap m.2 SSDs in the 120-256GB range?

 

(My old hard drives are turning 11 years old this year, it's a miracle they're still alive.)

NVME PCIE should be fine though...
