I was wondering if this part list was good for around a ~1k USD pc. I plan to run off integrated graphics for now and buy a GPU when prices lower.

looks good, i would personally go for 16gb of ram tho but otherwise for the time being all good

[orbitalbuzzsaw]

No it is not

Price breakdown by merchant: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/8VWxgw/by_merchant/

CPU: AMD - Ryzen 5 2600 3.4GHz 6-Core Processor  ($189.99 @ Amazon) - The 2600 matches the 8600K in gaming and destroys it in productivity, plus it includes an overclocking-ready cooler
Motherboard: Asus - STRIX B350-F GAMING ATX AM4 Motherboard  ($111.99 @ SuperBiiz) - I can say from personal experience that this board can handle a 1600 at 3.9GhZ. Good board
Memory: G.Skill - Ripjaws V Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR4-3200 Memory  ($159.99 @ Newegg Business) - 8GB really isn't enough anymore, 16GB is pretty much a requirement above $800
Storage: Samsung - 860 Evo 250GB 2.5" Solid State Drive  ($77.99 @ Amazon) - 860 Evo.
Storage: Seagate - Barracuda 2TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive  ($56.89 @ OutletPC) - Ah yes the fabled SeaGate Barracuda. From experience this is a reliable drive
Video Card: PNY - GeForce GTX 1060 6GB 6GB Video Card  ($295.99 @ Walmart) - 1060 should handle gaming at 1080p till next gen GPUs come out in Q4 (fingers crossed)
Case: Fractal Design - Meshify C TG ATX Mid Tower Case  ($88.69 @ Newegg) - The best case on the market aside from the Define R6
Power Supply: EVGA - 650W 80+ Gold Certified Semi-Modular ATX Power Supply  ($59.99 @ B&H) - Well reviewed Gold rated modular 650W unit from EVGA on the cheap.
Total: $1041.52

wait linus follows you wtf how did that happen

 

EDIT : Looking at your profile it looks like you can reuse the PSU and hard drive so forget that lol

Nicely made list, it's a solid build, close to what I have in my PC.

[AskTJ]

The Hyper 212 on Coffee Lake will only let you run it at stock speeds because it will get so hot. If you are wanting to overclock, buy an 240MM AIO, like the H110i. If you don't want to overclock, buy an i5 8400 and with the saved money, a better GPU.

 

But for $800, and no GPU, it's not really worth it. Your getting only single channel memory, and no GPU.

 

@orbitalbuzzsaw made a good build with Ryzen, that costs just over $1000, but has a well performing GPU in it.

I beg to differ. I ran my 8600K at 4.7GHz and under full load it maxed at 69C. Others will have different results though, I probably got lucky.

I do run my 8600K now at 4.4GHz and temps rarely go above 45C, it's not so bad.

What's wrong with the build I put together (besides the lack of a GPU atm)? Also, this is a build for a friend so nothing will be reused.

Probably just luck. Not everyone can have it though.

Which one? I have seen 1060 6GB going for $300 new.

Probably a 1070, depending on the pricing in a few months.

Also, I got a single stick of 8GB to allow for 16GB in the future if it's necessary, but I doubt it will be.

1 : 8GB of RAM isn't really enough anymore

2 : Ryzen 5 matches the Core i5 at a lower price not to mention the free overclocking ready cooler that comes with the CPU

3 : PSU you have is not great

Idk if I'm gonna sound ignorant right now but when I made my first PC I didn't really see anybody choose AMD unless they were making a relatively budget build. Is this not the case anymore? Because your build is only about $30 cheaper if I change the PSU to the one you selected and subtract the cost of the 1060. Also, the single 8GB stick allows me to go back for another stick if I really need it.

8GB is enough for some, it's just 16GB is the standard.

the 1070-1080ti cards are already at or very close to MSRP, the mining craze is over.

But they'll probably decrease when the next gen GPUS drop

[rukspuks]

if you just want to use igpu, buy a 2400G. Then replace it with a GPU + 1600/2600.
