[Oddyseus]

Hello,

 

 

I am currently living in Taiwan and I would like to build a mid-range gaming PC.

 

This is what I have as a first draft:

Any comments and suggestions are appreciated. Especially ways to reduce the price without compromising too much performance

Made some small edits. Cheaper better fitting board for the CPU, cheaper faster RAM and a better GPU:

same but different CPU and RAM. also different MOBO

I have deliberated between AMD and Intel CPUs.

 

According to articles online they don't really have too much of a difference when gaming, just that sometimes AMD CPUs can have slightly better price/performance.

Instead of using PCPP, use http://www.coolpc.com.tw/evaluate.php

 

It is the store with the cheapest prices in Taiwan. I have looked many times and it is better than stores in GH3C and 24h PCHome.

Yes, I can see that you recommend an AMD R5 260 instead of intel i3 8400

I have made another build, an option if I want to save money for other things.
