Give me a good gaming PC build for under 300

[SupaKomputa]

That apu is around 30fps, a 1050ti can get you 60fps minimum.

If you can afford a 580, you won't be building a $300 cpu.

but Ryzen APU to 1050ti isn't enough of a bump in performance to justify that cost.

@Daniel644 8gb 580? how long should he wait? Mining are not going down any soon. That's the most sought after gpu.

Building a gaming pc is shit right now. And now miners getting 1060 because lacking better gpu.

and SFX is gonna cost you MORE money, by decent I mean an 8GB RX580 or a 1070, if you want GOOD gaming thats the range you wanna be in once prices return to normal. and still I rather spend 5-10 bucks more on a 80+ Bronze 450 watt then a unknown brand 300 watt or less that may explode, you don't skimp on your PSU, if it goes it can take out EVERYTHING else in the computer.

 

yes, it's a Ryzen and APU thing Paul even gives an Asterisk in his build video to mention it

Rofl it has to do with the fact the ryzen cores use to sit in pairs separated by a memory cache and Ram speed directly affects these cores communicating with eachother (Infinity fabric). While with Intel they all sit together, so ram doesn't have as much of an impact.

you can get really cheap mobo at microcenter ($30) with their deals. I would recommend a 2200g.

Thanks to all of you!!!

Making a build with those ryzen apus is pretty pointlessless...i built one ryzen Apu system fr my son...nd i ended up putting a GTX 970 in it.

Games struggle to run with it's igpu.

So instead of building new system...do this???

Search on eBay nd get one used i7 prebuilt rig...2nd/3rd/4th den i7 prebuilts go around fr about $150-250

Pair it with a $100 used gpu like a GTX 770/960/660ti nd u'll HV a better gaming rig

I'd rather see him get a single 8gb stick for more upgradeability.

per what I mentioned already, Gamers Nexus has done some testing, the difference between single stick and 2 stick of the same RAM is HUGE, like nearly DOUBLE the FPS

 

 

[KarathKasun]

Used e3-1220 ($40-$50)

Used H61 board or new Chinese H61 board ($30-$40)

8gb DDR3 1333 ($50-$80)

Used GTX 750 Ti ($60-$70)

1tb HDD ($50 or less if used/refurb)

400w PSU ($20)

garbage case from local thrift shop.

 

Total price ~$300.

 

Plays PUBG at 40-60FPS @ 1080p/100% resolution scale with low settings/max view distance.

Can play ARK with medium preset @ 1080p.

 

The prebuilts are a bad idea.  Most come with a 250w PSU and are half height (cant use a standard GPU).
