Need advice on a build.

[MrRemnant]

My friend wants a mid-low range gaming pc and wants to use Nvidia and Intel. Is this build good? I cant increase the budget any higher than this. https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/bNpfxG

RX 580 = GTX 1060

GTX 1060 > GTX 1050 Ti

Try for a 1060 and possibly an i7

Depends on the games he/she want to play. You could look into going for an I3, and a 1060 instead.

But would recommend an AMD CPU at the pricepoint, cheaper cpu and motherboard. AMD has better overclocking potensial at that price point, and the intel mobo chosen isn't overclockable.

You should be able have to pull off a 1060

I would go for a Ryzen at this pricepoint, Intel is just not going to get you far, unless your friend REALLY wants Intel. Also, where is the SSD? It doesn't matter if its a cheap build, an SSD is a MUST

He hasn't a bigger Budget, so 1060 and i7 isn't possible together

Its a bad idea to purposly limit yourself to the more expensive of the 2 manufacturers available on CPU and GPU when you on such a low end budget.

 

At this price point a AMD CPU really is the best option imo, this will allow you to get a stronger GPU and in the end have a much better gaming experience.

For example. Asuming £600 budget
