Is this good for under 800?

Ofbasecfin

So I bought a PC, cause else I would have none, but now I'm saving up to upgrade it, but my mobo is really old so I'll have to upgrade that aswell.

Already have the case and a other HDD, not sure if I can keep the PSU that's in this PC right now...

But would there be any bottlenecks, or would this just run like it should run?

The PSU in your list looks fine to me, not sure if it's your current PSU...

If the current PSU worked fine in your current PC, it will most likely be fine with an 1050ti.

 

Keep in mind that your desired motherboard is most likely "dead" when looking for an upgrade path. Have you considered Ryzen? With a decent AM4 mobo, you should be able to upgrade your CPU up till at least 2020.

Of course not, to begin with it is outdated platform already "dead", no need for a z270 going for a locked i5 this build is "bad", here made you a list still under 800$ with latest offering, the i5 8400 is miles a better CPU it has 2 extra faster cores on it and the motherboard gives you far better upgrade path ;)

Here's what i could put together. Added a new PSU to be safe with this config, but if your current one can handle the rig, feel free to use it

I game more than I do editing so that's why I went for Intel.

Yea, but I know Intel is better for gaming, and all I do is play games, and edit videos sometimes, but I'm no big YouTuber so I prefer getting better gameplay.

Imma go ahead and see if these are available in trusted stores, and I don't care about an SSD, cause really, I got nothing but time on my hands, don't need the quickest transfers or boot-ups.

AMD has a better upgrade path (considering your 7th gen Intel CPU), which will make your pc a better gaming pc for longer. (it's about the averages here) + a nice Ryzen system will probably be just as good as an intel CPU, with that GPU.

After a good upgrade I don't think I really will be upgrading though, not the richest person lol.

Plus, don't really like the games that come out these days.

Biggest game I might play is Ark, but I probably won't play that, so it'd be GTA V.

Soo...

Thanks to 

I got this: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/wvBTvV

PCPartPicker says it's 825 dollars, not sure how much it would cost me in euros.

But if the prices won't jump to over a 1000, not sure if that's gonna happen, might...

This'll probably be the best I can get around my budget right?
