Minimum system for AAA gaming

[Jahid Hasan]

I know linus go big, but bro can I build a system for 1080p decent gaming ..... like 50-60fps ..... please help me build as the pc will only for gaming ...... I was thinking of GTX 150ti and a core i3 / Ryzen 3 / Pentium but still have no Idea how will it stec up with win 10 os

It all depend on the settings of the game and how easy it is to run it. 

 

Generally you want something along i5, GTX 1060, 8GB RAM, at least 1TB HDD, and up

Win 10 isnt an issue, affect of it compared to others like Win 7 is small.

 

Ryzen 3 1200/2200G (whichever is cheaper) + B350 mobo + 8GB 2133 RAM + GTX 1050 + 250gb storage space should be able to get you through all games, with low settings.

not low high settings at 1080p but not max on graphics details ....

for this do I really need GTX 1060 or 1050ti would do ....

1060 at least, 1050ti is if you want to play older aaa titles like far cry 4 and so on, but it will probably struggle in the future games.

high settings? 1060 mandatory. 1050ti wont do it on some new ones.

Faster memory = faster performance

This is the case at least in the case of APU's.

This is because the APU uses memory from the ram

The faster the ram...the faster is ur performance..

Also it is recommended to use ram in dual channel in caseof these ryzen APUs.

They gain a lot of performance increase in dual channel as compared to single channel..

But I listed a gtx 1050 in there... Only recommend 2200g because that's sometimes cheaper, if not the same price as 1200.

 

High frequency memory helps Ryzen CPU performance as well, but OP is asking the CHEAPEST build. Ryzen doesnt need high frequency RAM to make AAA games run with playable fps

Watch this once...

Ryzen CPUs might not need faster memory....but ryzen APUs need faster memory fr performing better

The thing is, I'm not recommending him to use APU as an APU, but a CPU. Ryzen 3 2200g is just a Ryzen 3 1200 with higher clocks and 4MB cache when you dont use the iGPU. Vega 8 is at best only as good as a 1030, which wont play all AAA games smoothly.

2200g is marginally faster than 1200 though..

Higher default clock, that's it. With B350 mobo both 1200 and 2200g reach the same clock speed range of 3.9GHz to 4GHz

If OC to 4ghz....2200g still beats the 1200??

 

https://youtu.be/gO2DuLdYmrU

 

 

Also 1200 runs hot when OC so high

So I would suggest to go with 2200g

Within margin of error. Difference has to be higher than 5% to be considered 'different'.

What do u think personally...??

2200g has higher clock nd iGPu

While 1200 has more l3 cache

 

That iGPu will be helpful if ur GPU fails..

 

Also....2200g just costs $4 more....

[Jahid Hasan]

gyes I have manages to get a 

 

Intel Core i7 3820 CPU

GTX 1060 3GB GPU

Asus H61M-K Mobo

Adata 8GB 1600Gz Ram

 

is that enough for 1080p heigh details gaming...

At the same time can I steam 1080p 60hz on twitch ...

I know that but what I found is that i7 3rd gen system is $100 cheaper then ryzen3 1200 / i3 8100 system

 

if i7 3rd gen system is not bottleneck by cpu on just playing at max details then I will dedicate another cpu for steaming

3820 uses X79 mobo with LGA 2011 socket ONLY. That could ruin your plan.

Bangladesh .... you watch Cricket, right ?

 

Talk to a retailer and he inform's me about the system ..... 

CPU is about = $120

MOBO is about = $50

All New

 

So I thought if the system is capable of playing AAA title on high settings with GTX 1060 or max with GTX 1070

 

the I can have my old i5 1st gen cpu for steam encoding

 

I am just not seore if that will work
