PC build

[Bezolek]

Hello! In the near future I plan to buy a new computer, because my laptop stops cooperate with me.
I'm a graphic designer, I work a lot with Adobe also I play a lot of video games like:
>Borderlands2
>Dota2
>Skyrim
>Left4Dead2
Do you have any suggestions with a good price? I do not have a specific budget.
But I think it woudl be something like 750$/1000$/1500$.

All of those games are non-current and not demanding, You could get away with anything

 

If you want to do it cheap, I think a Ryzen 5 1600 (6 core for your adobe work)

8-16GB of ram

(insert random mobo)

and a GTX 1060 or 1050ti would do the trick, and could play much more demanding games

and an SSD for boot drive and to install your adobe programs on

 

 

Just my opinion though

A decent CPU cooler is included with the CPU

May throw in a cablemod RGB strip to get the +300 FPS

Could you give me some cheaper builds ?

It is under 1500 considering you get a decent IPS monitor and peripherals.

You could get 550W PSU and save a buck

He doesn't need a 1070 to play LFD2 and skyrim, Unless hes playing at like 8k or something

Replace the 1070 to something more reasonable, like a 1060 and get a cheaper PSU (500W-600w will be more than fine)

You could easily drop like $30-40 on lower clocked ram, and or get 8gb for around $80

Yeah, but the mid range is too overpriced it is better to have a more powerful card so it lasts longer.

He can get 1440P screen with 1070

Overwatch isn't uber demanding, Don't need a 1070 for that

 

Would help if you included the resulution of your current monitor or the one you plan to buy

Why a 1500X instead of a 1600?

Why an overpriced CPU cooler?

Why a Tomahawk?

Why such slow, overpriced RAM?

Why a WD SSD?

Why a black series HDD?

Why such an overpriced PSU?

1080p is enought for me I think.

Everything

It is trash

Just like all other MSI AM4s

[Bezolek]

And also, could you guys give me some good monitors 1080p 60hz ?

Get at least 100Hz, IPS for content creation

Honestly, for VRM stuff, it really doesn't matter what you use, because the voltage you need on Ryzen for OC isn't even that high. All you really need for AM4 is BIOS support, and Tomahawk is certainly well updated for BIOS. IDK why you are circlejerking on every single thread to not buy it...

It's fine for 4 cores, but you can get boards with better VRMs for the same price or cheaper. Anything above, and the VRMs will run very hot. Their higher end boards use the same crappy VRMs as the mid range ones. Why settle for mediocre, when you can get better for less?

You cannot evem imagine how the VRMs are bad until you compare the spec sheets to ones of mosfets used on different mobos.

The VRMs will go over 100 with overclocked R7. I know what i am talking about, i have experience with Tomahawk BIOS.

Also, i am sure you learned it in school.

Voltage is not the main issue.

Current is.

Not very, but could touch 80 degree range with fully overclocked  1600. 1700 is obviously a fire hazard

Note that there is 550w bronze psu in same price, but this one gold rated & better, though you can save more if go with corsair cx450 & that is decent as well. for buying monitor try to research a little bit before as color accuracy will be important for you. Choose something Ips but avoid glossy panel as light or sunlight reflect on them so would not be great for work.
