Upgrade old build

[Nick Doro]

 

1. Budget & Location

Location - Latvia (Europe)

Budget - about 600 EUR (little bit more than 700 USD)

2. Aim

Gaming - Fortnite , World of tanks , League of legends , GTA V. Fortnite running now only on very low graphics...

3. Monitors

Running 2 full-hd monitors and there is no plans to add more.

4. Peripherals

I don't need to purchase any additional peripherals such as keyboards , mice , monitors , software and ect.

5. Why are you upgrading?

So few weeks ago my GPU went crazy and died , so i saved that graphics card by putting it into the oven. But that's a temporary fix and my computer is getting old , last upgrade was few years ago, so i decided its time to upgrade.

 

Here is what i have now:

Case - Cooler master ATX Mid Tower Case

Board - Gigabyte - GA-EP45T-UD3LR ATX LGA775 Motherboard 

CPU - Intel core 2 quad 2.33 GHz (LGA775)

CPU Cooler - Cooler Master - RR-H101-22FK-RI 30.0 CFM Sleeve Bearing CPU Cooler

RAM - 2x4GB Kingston Fury Blue 1333Mhz DDR3

GPU - MSI - GeForce GTX 560 Ti 1GB Video Card (already baked)

PSU - Corsair 500W

Storage:

SSD - Samsung - 850 EVO-Series 250GB 2.5" Solid State Drive

HDD - Seagate - Barracuda 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive

 

Thinking about Ryzen , maybe ,  so i could add GPU later after mining crisis ...

Managed to scramble this together real quick.

Hey!

 

Okay so, you can reuse your case, ssd, hdd and probably psu it depends what kind of corsair psu it is. Is it cx-series?

Take a look at this:

No point in going for X ryzen, faster ram is better ram with minimal price difference.

the 1600x was all I could find on the website, but true. No need to go X for the ryzen.

 

I don't agree on the ram considering the 1600 only supports up to DDR4-2666.

Other than GTA 5, these games will do well with that Q8200 CPU. If it's just a bit too slow, overclock it. P45 chipset mobo can easily push 3GHz on a core 2 quad, more if the chip's quality is good and the cooler is strong (yours is too weak for more than 3.33GHz). Better hold on to it since GPU prices are high, which should take priority for a gaming rig.

 

What is the model name of the PSU?

 

How much do these GPU cost:

gtx 1060 3gb?

gtx 1060 6gb?

rx570 4gb?

rx580 8gb?

rx580 4gb?

Memory overclocking is supported on B350 motherboards

you could copy my current build, its great for those games. all well above 120fps all on ultra. gives you lots of ram and has plenty of slots for your screen needs

 

Ryzen 5 1400
Asus GTX 1060 3GB Dual Fan OC

16GB HyperX Red DDR4 RAM

AB350M PRO-4 MOBO

650W PSU

 

Parts came at around $1050 (live in aus), bought gpu during the crisis so the price should drop to around $975 (which is around your price point in australian dollars). also keep in mind that i bought a case and extra fans for my pc, which you might not need.

Wouldn't wanna risk a 1060 with 3gb though. You'd be left upgrading it in the near future.

Time to get a new one then. Green labeled CX arent that great of a power supply.

 

Tier 3 or above are good

[Nick Doro]

GPU GTX series prices aint that bad in my country 

gtx 1060 6gb about 300 Euro

gtx 1060 3gb about 250 Euro

gtx 1050 4gb about 200 Euro

rx580/570 gets too expensive here

Ryzen 5 1600 3.2Ghz 6-cores - 150 Euro

Kingstone Hyprex fury DDR4 2400Mhz 1x8gb - 90 Euro (would add another stick latter)

Motherboard ASRock - AB350 Pro4 ATX AM4 then? - 85 Euro

PSU - Cooler master VSM 550W? or 650W? - 90/110 Euro

 

Sounds good?

 

little bit over 400 Euro in total + GPU then , this could work for me

Actually, not true. It depends on your mb. Indeed it supports 2666 but not up to.

550W is more than enough for this build. Here are just some suggestions. Nice mb which supports I think that up to 3200 mhz rams, so if you can get atleast 3000 mhz rams would be great (you can oc later). Also dual channel memory tends to be better so I would go with 2x4 gb if you want that little bit more power, You can later upgrade it to 16 gb as the board has 4 ram slots.
