Help with first custom PC build

[Niichts]

1. Budget & Location

My budget is around 600€. Cannot really go higher than that.

 

2. Aim

This build id going to be used mainly for some gaming (not AAA) but also for programming and game development (mainly Unity).

 

3. Monitors

The only monitor I plan on running is a LG 25UM58-P UltraWide Monitor (2560x1080 - 75Hz)

 

4. Peripherals

I have all the peripherals already acquired.

 

5. Why are you upgrading?

Mainly upgrading 'cause I've been using my current pc since 2012 (Pentium E6300, 3GB DDR2, GeForce 210, blah blah) and it's time for an upgrade 'cause it only now has started to show difficulty in doing my day to day tasks.

 

Here is the build I am currently thinking of, let me know if there's something I need/should change.

 

CPU: AMD Ryzen 3 1300X

Motherboard: Gigabyte AX370M-DS3H

Cooler: Low-Profile AMD Wraith Stealth Cooler (Comes with the CPU)

RAM: Kingston HyperX Fury Black (2 x 3GB) DDR4-2133 CAS14 Memory

Storage: 500GB HDD (In use on my current PC)

GPU: Gigabyte RX470 G1 Gaming 4GB

PSU: 500W (In use on my current PC)

 

I needed to know if this is a good combinations of parts for my PC (since it's my first time building one). Any help would be apreciated!

Thanks!

Ill get some text advice aswell

 

• Get a ASRock AB350 PRO4 motherboard
• Get an GTX 1060 or a RX 580 4GB depending on which is cheapest
• Get 2x4GB of 3000/3200 mhz RAM.
• Get a R5 1400 or an 1600 depending on what fits your budget.
• If you want more storage get an 1TB HDD WD blue or an 250 GB Crucial MX500

Thanks for answering!

 

Unfortunately where I live (Portugal) the build you suggested is way over-budget, 711€.

And I really don't have a lot more room in terms of budget unfortunately.

 

Looking at your text advice:

- I'm going to change the mobo for the one you suggested since it's only 4€ in difference;

- The RX580 starts at 300€ which kills my budget, so my question is, would a 1060 3GB perform better then the RX 470 4GB?

- Does the increase in RAM speed really change a lot in terms of perfomance? (I know it does but in this particular case)

- The change to a Ryzen 5 1400 is also probaly happening since it's only 8€ more.

- Storage for now is not a problem.

srry for late response. the 3GB is better in terms of performance. you do loose out on freesync which your monitor has. 

 

you really want to go with higher speed RAM, and also 8 GB of it since you are on a budget
