Posted December 23, 2017 Hi, i'm new to this computer community and i have been researching parts. And i ending up buying a G4560 + MSI 1050TI build (https://pcpartpicker.com/list/nXhd4C) I was wondering what future upgrades will be needed or anything you would personally upgrade if this was your build.

Posted December 23, 2017 Well if this is your budget, and you still didnt order the parts, honestly, I would go to the AMD Ryzen platform since they promised to stay on the AM4 socket for at least 3 more years, and the B350 boards are only around $90. This gives you great future upgradeability. Dual core processors are simply not enough in my oppinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted December 23, 2017 G4560 just isnt enough... I'd get Ryzen 3 1200 and B350 mobo (other than MSI's B350M Gaming Pro, that sucks) SSD can make a huge improvement in system response. Even the cheaper SATA ones will do. At least 120GB. Do not use a cheap ass power supply (PSU) like this. Corsair VS are known to go pop and kill hardware. Currently you can get a CX450M for $27 and CX550M for $35. I'd get the higher wattage one so it can hold more graphics card upgrades. If you have to shave some cost on the build, get an RX 560-1024 edition (if you have a freesync monitor) or a gtx 1050 (if you dont). If you still have some money spare though get a 1060 3gb. It's 40% faster than the 1050ti but prices start at $180, only $20% more expensive than a 1050ti. Dont consider the 1060 6gb though, at $260 it's like being robbed for the extra 10% performance.
