Hello, I am looking for help on a low Gaming Budget Setup to continue gaming on some not so much demanding games. My currency is USD and the budget for the whole setup is $1400 and below (you can include setups that go over $100 dollars if you need to or believe it would just help, but preferably builds that don’t exceed the budget by a large margin would be better suited) 

 

-Uses

*Heavy Gaming sessions on CS:GO, LoL, Fortnite, GTA 5(Hoping to run the less demanding games at max settings and GTA 5 at high settings)

*WebBrowsing

*Light Schoolwork( Once every blue moon when I need to write an Essay/Research

 

-What I’m looking for specifically in terms of help

*Cheaper build/setup recommendations or Helping me tweak the current setup I have linked below to reach a budget goal of $1400 and below( I’ve decided from the other posts that I’ve made and build recommendations that I’ve received that the $1500-$1700 budget was a bit overkill considering the games I will be playing)

*Something that will last (easily upgrade at a later date)

*No significant frame drops or bottlenecking( trying to get the best experience)

*peripherals Headset, Keyboard, mouse Including a monitor(144Hz or more)

*OS also needed

*Overclockable

Ask me below if you have any concerns with what I have listed and please thank you! any help is appreciated, as I really hope to order these parts and begin my build to end the summer

for windows, you can just buy a key off of kinguin for like $20:

 

yeah it's a little over $1400, but I recommend these parts (the peripherals mostly) because I have used them and can attest to their quality.

 

And yeah, the ssd is only 480gb, but it will probably take you quite a few games to use all that space, and you can always just buy an hdd for it whenever.

 

The ryzen platform is superior for upgrading, which Is one of the reasons I went for an x470 board, apart from the possibility of needing a bios update if you get a b350. In 2019 AMD will have chips as fast or faster for gaming than intel, and you will be able to drop them right in without having to worry about buying a new motherboard, like you would for intel. though the 2600x will last you for a few years before you ever notice any falling behind in games.

Ok, but personally I’ve decided as posted in the thread that I was looking for a budget PC, because it would be overkill to run the games I want on a i7 8700k or i5 8600k on such a higher end gaming pc which would most likely never see a AAA title like tomb raider be played on it. Also if you’ve given me advice you’re not in inclined to keep giving advice.

Budget buikd? Okay... I tossed this list together for someone with a constrained budget earlier and it should be near to the definition of that.

Just open that up and put in your desired peripherals and you should be ok. Might want to increase the DDR4 to 16GB in 2x8GB, but... yeah. Generally if you go to a website with a friendly helpful and savvy community and keep asking them to effectively work for free for you eventually they become a little frustrated with you. Not sure if you'd thought of it that way yet, but that really appears to be what is occurring.
