Help with PC Build!

[SergeantBlake23]

Hi, i`d like to know what`s the best PC Build.

 

Budget - $1500 (CAD).

 

Website/Webstore - Amazon or Newegg.

 

Thanks!

With absolutely nothing else to go on (like use-case) I recommend a chromebook.

 

If that doesn't do it for you, maybe tell us what you plan to do with said rig.

It depends what you're looking for and what your going to use it for. Can you be more specific?

Do you need a complete set-up or do your have components that you'll be reusing (if so, what)?

[SergeantBlake23]

a complete set of new components.

You should consider some used parts to get a beast system

[SergeantBlake23]

1080p

1080p

GPU : 1050 or RX 560

CPU : core i3 8th gen or ryzen 3 1200

Ram : 8 gigs should be fine

Do you have a Build where i don`t have to upgrade my pc for the next 5-7 years but still play AAA games of those years?

Okay il list some hardware and you can check different prices at your local store

CPU: ryzen 7 has a good life time span only because the 7th intel core i5 and i7 would be put away from intel 8th gen so waiting to get a 8th gen core i7 can last you 

GPU: 1070 or 1080 are good with a long life span currently with the new architecture

 

RAM : unless you doing more than just gaming on your system I dont see how AAA Games can use more than 16gigs

 

Get a Mobo and PSU with 5 year warranties 

 

The standard for 2017 run ssd and hdd

You don't need a 1070/80 for 1080p gaming at standard refresh rates (60-70hz)

i5 is DOA

16GB is a good place to be.

If you can spend a bit more this is good. If not get a Ryzen 5 1600+B350 motherboard.

in 4-6 years you'll have amassed enough money to replace the GPU when it's insufficient. The CPU will be good for a long time.

Ryzen has points over skylake but wait for coffee lake 

Plus your gpu will need upgrades if you plan on doing 4k Gaming on 3 monitors i still dont see how a 1080 can be insufficient in 6 years time

Truth is technology is rapidly improving soo your hardware can be outdated BUT I dont see games having that huge of an improvement since 8gigs was enough for many years now

the landscape for components will be different if you build in 2018.
