Hey guys, so I'm going to be building my new pc in I'd like to say around a months time. Now, I'm Australian and I'm only 13 so money and prices aren't exactly the best but I've got a final build list put into a list. I'll leave an Partpicker list link below, but my budget is around $1000 and $1100 Which most of it I'll be supplying myself as I've been saving for the past year. But here are my specs. Let me know if you think it's good and worth what I'm paying! :) I'm also sacrificing an SSD, but I'm personally not too bothered as it would only be used for my boot drive and nothing else. I've used a 500GB HDD for the past 3 years and I can boot my system in about 7 seconds. Not an SSD either. And I'm not bothered if my PC is snappy fast or not. Also playing games such as, Overwatch, CSGO, The Forest, Minecraft and PUBG.

 

CPU: Amd Ryzen 5 1600.

 

GPU: Nvidia Geforce GTX 1050TI Gaming 1 Ed.

 

Mobo: ASRock AB350 Pro4 Atx.

 

Memory: Kingston HyperX Fury 2x4GB (8gb)

 

Storage: Seagate Barracuda 2TB.

 

Case: Corsair Spec-Alpha Atx Mid.

 

PSU: Corsair VS 350W Non Mod.

Very, very shitty PSU. 

You can probably fit a 1060 6gb in.

I'd try throwing in an SSD since you're paying like $1000.

Hey! 

1. Cpu and motherboard are a great choice!

2. I recommend getting high speed memory (3000 or more) as Ryzen can really benefit from it.

3. If you can get a 1060 6gb as it is much better than the 1050ti.

4. That PSU is really cheap and I wouldn't but it. IMO look for something from EVGA, Corsair or Seasonic (but not the very cheap stuff like the vs lineup). The PSU is very important and your entire system relies on it so don't skimp on it!

5. For storage get an SSD and a Hard drive if you can depending on how much money you have.

Happy building! :)

Ok guys, So i've taken all your feedback and put it into I think my final part list. Link below. Unfortunately I couldn't fit the 6GB 1060 as that blows the bank by 100, but instead opted for the 3gb, which from benchmarks does alot better than the 1050ti, I also went with the 3000 ram and squeezed in an SSD. I also got a better PSU, not the CXM semi, but also not the vs series (thank god lol) Heres the link: https://au.pcpartpicker.com/list/BhgqCy

 

Like I said THANKS SO MUCH!!
