Budget Build

[LegendFrosty]

So.....

1.Budget&Location

My budget would be around 650-700 euros.

As i live in Latvia i will be shipping my parts from Amazon.de

2.Aim

I hope to use this pc for gaming on high settings(Games such as fortnite, etc) and streaming,and ofc daily internet use.

3.Monitors

I Have a Curved 27 inch 60Hz Samsung monitor,but i hope to upgrade to a 120+Hz 4k monitor soon

4.Parts

I have been planning this for a while so i have made a list, if theer is anything better or you would reccomend something better i would love if you would tell me.

Here is a list of the parts (i checked the compatibility at pcpartpicker.com)

Case - Aerocool Cylon Case White
Cpu - Intel I5 8400
Gpu - Asus GTX 1050Ti or A used 1060 6gb (i cant decide which)
MoBo - Gigabyte H310 M S2H Lga1151
HDD - Toshiba 1TB 600Mbps sata III
Ram - Corsair Vengeance 8GB ddr4
PSU - Corsair VS550 (does buying a used one change anything?)
Cpu cooler - Be Quiet BK008
I plan on adding more fans as that case supports 7 of them
5.Peripherals

Can you suggest any cheap gaming microphones as my mic for Razer Kraken Pro headset is way too silent even if my microphone boost is at +20dB

 

Thank you for your help!

A Ryzen 5 1600 is likely a better value CPU

 

get an RX 570/580 at minimum.

 

Just buy a good case and you won't need to add extra fans.

 

Buy a USB microphone like a Samson GOMic if you want something like that, otherwise buy a mod mic.

But the mic on your headset might be fine, could just be you're currently using a low end board with poor onboard audio support.

There's a parts list anyways. PSU pricing sucks right now still.

Thanks for your advice but that would put me way off my budget as that gpu costs about 300 euro

The 570/580 are 40-60+% faster than the 1050ti, just live without a case for a while to get the better GPU, or maybe check used markets.

I wouldn't recommend getting a Corsair VS550 new or used. The value series from Corsair kinda sucks, and you want a reliable PSU in your build.

Look at this list before deciding on a PSU.

how do the 570/580 perform comparing to 1060 6gb?

im asking this because if i go with the cpu you suggested i can use use 50 euros for a better gpu

[AskTJ]

I would add an SSD.

They're all within the same tier and trade off being the top depending on the game, RX 580 being equal RX 570 being 10-15% behind that on average. But they're way faster than the 1050ti.

 

AMD mostly gets you free-sync in a future monitor upgrade, as G-sync adds a lot to the cost of most monitors.

If Ryzen 5 1600/2600 are cheaper than the i5 that's a pretty easy choice.

With AMD you have StoreMI, so you can just add in an SSD later without reinstalling windows for it's caching.

You want an ASrock Pro 4 or MSI Tomahawk B450 board if they're available.

Or an X470 Ultra Gaming if you find a higher budget

Is this MoBo compatible with Ryzen 5 2600

B350 boards may need a BIOS update to use the 2000 series CPUs.

And that board has no SoC VRM heatsink, though that's not as important for non APUs. The main VRM heatsink is pretty pathetic though.

The Pro4 is usually the best value board, the Tomahawk is a bit better, usually costs a bit more though

It has a decent stock cooler, always better to have a 120mm air cooler at some point though, but it'll be fine for now.
