Would this pc build be good enough to play games like Warframe, Fortnite, and Destiny 2. I'm pretty sure that everything is compatible but I am not completely sure. I plan on buying everything on amazon. I may have to buy the graphics card somewhere else because the price keeps changing and keeps going out of stock. This rig is a budget rig and is built to be under $700.

 

Here is the link to the build on pc part picker.

  1. Why are you getting a Z370 with a Pentium? Go i3 + less pricey mobo or go ryzen
  2. Try to squeze in an SSD if possible. Even 120GB will do.
  3. Don't think that PSU is that trustworthy. Take a look at the PSU tier list here on the forums, and fine something that's in tier 1-3, and matches your price point.

Want to know which mobo to get?

Spoiler

Choose whatever you need. Any more, you're wasting your money. Any less, and you don't get the features you need.

 

Only you know what you need to do with your computer, so nobody's really qualified to answer this question except for you.

Psu is not good at all, and you're buying a cpu with a mobo that's over 2.5x the price...

I was getting a z370 with a pentium because

1. Pentium's are cheap

2. It was on the support list for the mobo.

This looks like a good build, I personally would change the motherboard to not gigabyte, preferably ASUS, and change the SSD to a Samsung or intel one but that’s just my opinion, I do agree on the power supply, just make sure it has the 8/6 pin power you need.

 

you can do what you wish

Well what I can say I recommend is quad+ core is a must, 8GB ram minimum preferably 16GB, SSD/optain module is a must, and get a reliable power supply from like corsair

 

if you have questions I’m here as well as a lot of other people.

Oh and if you love RGB go with corsair and msi products as you can sync all the colors in the cooler ways

@ETHREAL1I have revised it.

Meets all of your suggestions except the 16GB ram.

What would you choose for a $700 budget gaming pc build, with a AMD processor?

Well this is what I would recommend but if your plans are for gaming I would recommend the intel build for the higher clocks.

You were paying $120 more for the mobo than you needed to though xD

I simply picked the Gigabyte board because it was the cheapest board with 4 RAM slots :D.

 

The SSD should be fine. MX500 is pretty much as good as an 850 evo but it's 30% cheaper.

That's quite expensive for an H310 board. I would try to get something with 4 RAM slots instead. Also, change the SSD to something like an MX500. It's only $10 more and gives you double the capacity, and you really don't need an NVMe SSD.

this is the most powerful machine that has been posted in this thread so far and for the money it's a good PC...it cost a little bit more but it's really worth it IMO.
