I want to get build a pc that will last a while, and this will be my first actual gaming setup, so I will need the mouse, keyboard, and all that stuff.  I already have an hdmi cable, headphones, and two Seagate Barracuda 360 GB Hard Drives, so that's why I didn't include those two in my list.  Also the Windows 10 OEM will be from Kinguin, the power supply is suppose to be EVGA 650 BQ 80+ BRONZE 650W (but pc part picker didn't have it for some reason, and the blank space is the SteelSeries Qck Gaming Mouse Pad.  I am not sure if I should consider another ram option or to go with X370 for Ryzen for Ryzen 3/4.  Any suggestions?

I would go for cheaper RAM, a freesync monitor and rx 570, as well as a better psu instead.

I'm not seeing a lot of speed considering the cost.

course you would have to change almost everything to get it where it should be and I'm guessing your heart is set on the parts you've already selected.

What if I am good without freesync, am I able to keep the monitor and graphics cards on my list.  Also, why should I consider a lower wattage psu?

I would still at least switch the monitor for the one I listed because it's cheaper and higher refresh rate.

 

I don't understand why you don't want freesync though... It really does make games look way better.

Well I would like to get all my parts in one website, but what is there to gain with a freesync monitor?

Freesync and G-Sync, the Nvidia Sync-tech, syncronizes the refresh rate of the monitor with the framerate of the graphics card in real time. This eliminates tearing and leads to a very noticeable improvement in the gaming experience. This summer I switched from a 60Hz no sync monitor to a 100Hz G-Sync monitor and it's a difference like night and day. You should really go for it, if you have the chance. Maybe try it first at a friends place or at a store. Some stores selling the Free-, G-Sync monitors are having them in display with demo systems for a try out.

If you ask me, a lot.

 

https://www.anandtech.com/show/7582/nvidia-gsync-review

 

This article sums up what variable refresh rate tech (like freesync and gsync) do. Simply put, normally when gaming you're gonna get tearing whenever GPU frame rate is different from monitor refresh rate, aka most of the time (unless you turn down settings and put on an fps cap)

n1239910191-image001.jpg

 

For me, this is unbearable so I play with v sync on. V sync basically makes your gpu wait to display the frame until your monitor is refreshing, getting rid of tearing. However, instead you get stutter from the gpu waiting to display the frame.

 

Nvidia also has something called fast sync and amd has something called enhanced sync that can get rid of both tearing and stuttering, but only if your fps is above the monitor refresh rate. Whenever the fps goes below the refresh rate you'll get tearing and/or stuttering.

 

Freesync and g sync get rid of all these issues by making the monitor's refresh rate adapt to the GPU's framerate. This means you can run games at under the monitor refresh rate without any tearing or stuttering and really allows you to turn up settings without worrying about fps dipping. I can tell you from personal experience that it really is bad for either tearing or stutter to happen. Until I get a gpu and monitor that can sync up I can only play with settings low enough so that my fps is above 75 fps, otherwise I can't stand it.

Okay then, so I just plug an amd card to a freesync monitor and you have a perfect experience?

Not perfect of course, but it's a lot better than having stutter or tearing.

 

Worst case you may need to go into monitor settings to enable freesync and go into amd drivers to enable it. That's about the worst it can get.
