Cheap gaming build

[UnbounDxKilleR]

Hi All,

 

I am planning to build a cheap gaming rig from scratch so will need peripherals too. But I am struggling as I usually only build high end rigs with the best you can buy at the time so finding it hard to get a good balance of cheap but reasonably powerful to play Source engine games and basic use. Garrys Mod and CSGO.

 

Could anyone help? I was thinking of the 1030 GTX for the GPU and for the case a Corsair Red Carbide SPEC 04 but I am simply stuck on what CPU and therefore what mobo to get, power supply was guessing around a 430W maybe a 500W and peripherals I don't even know what to get when cheap, but ideally gaming style if possible.

 

All help appreciated.

 

Not sure exactly of price range for this all yet so ideas will help me get a rough range. Sorry.

Ryzen 3 2200G will do. The 1030 is so weak as a graphics card, use either a used 750ti or dont use a graphics card at all. 2400G is also viable, though I dont think it's fast enough to justify the price.

Well the 2400g is faster than the 1030 for a 169, while a 1030 alone costs around a 100, plus a r5 1500x for a 150, in total 250 for less graphical performance.

So the 2400g is definately the best choice for gaming.

So I could get a PSU around 450 for that then, what ideas for peripherals obviously 1080p at this point but finding cheaper stuff can sometimes mean it breaks easily etc?

A cheap 1080p ips monitor, then something from these round ups:
