Gaming & Light Content Creation

[Legendaryk4]

Hello, as the title suggests I all planning on building a new rig specifically for gaming and some light content creation. For those wondering it's just capturing game footage and editing in Sony Vegas. I already purchased the gpu and power supply but I decided to throw it in to show the whole thing. Let me know what you think. Don't want to spend more than what is there.

The next link is what I currently have. I built it a little over 5 years ago. The only difference I couldn't find the correct power supply so I put the closest thing. I have a seasonic M12II 620w bronze. How much would be a reasonable asking price? I need to find the new build.

Thanks for all the help!

I'd recommend this build, transferring the M12II from your old build, and buying a cheaper, lower wattage PSU for your old build.

Also, you don't have any storage here.

 

EDIT: Just realized you already have the GPU and PSU.

one sec... fixing the build.

If you can, move up to the R5 1600. Should be just as good if not better for games, but definitely a significant step up for content creation. Also, I would go with a Noctua or Cryorig H7 air cooler for a little more power.

 

*optional* i would go with 3000mhz ram

 

Rest looks great though!

This includes storage, which your original build didn't.

also, I bumped you up to a better (and cheaper) motherboard, and a better CPU. you don't need a 212 Evo, since the stock cooler is enough.

Thank you. I currently have a 1TB 7200 rpm hdd and a 512GB SSD. Only reason I added the 212 EVO was because I do overclocking. If I get enough money for my current setup and other items I'm selling I will get a corsair all in one cooler.

Get a ryzen 5 1600, it doesn't need an aftermarket cooler as it comes with the wraith stealth cooler with the CPU and when it comes to multithreaded/multi core performance, the R5 1600 will benefit content creation as well as gaming.

use the stock cooler of 1600 & you can do slight overclock with it til you get corsair aio. as you already have gpu, psu, storage. I like this board better, it has wonderful vrm, bios & ram support.

The 212 Evo isn't really much better than the stock cooler, and you can OC on the stock cooler to about 3.8Ghz. if you want, you can get a beefier cooler for like $50 that could give you up to 4Ghz, but it's really not worth it to get a low end/midrange aftermarket cooler.

True.

However, it comes with the Wraith Spire, which is the thicker, much better stock cooler.

the Wraith stealth comes with Ryzen 3 CPUs (and the 1400), and is much smaller and comparable to an intel stock cooler.

True, the wraith stealth that comes with R3 CPU's and the R5 1400 are much smaller than its intel counterparts and generally perform much better when it comes to overclocking ryzen. If you overclock an intel CPU with its included stock cooler, you wont get far.

What would you guys say my current rig is worth? Would rather sell it as a whole. I don't have the boxes for any of it anymore.

A better mobo. The recommended Prime B350 Plus is good.
