First Build (looking for advices)

[Deux Alpha]

Hello guys,

 

Here's the project for my first PC build ever!! What do you think? (mainly for gaming and some college work like CAD)

https://es.pcpartpicker.com/user/Alpharp/saved/M22ccf

Also, I'm thinking on buying the CPU and the GPU around next Black Friday/Christmas. Should I save a bit more and go for a GTX 1060? And should I wait for next gen Ryzen or stay with the R5 2600?

 

TIA

I think you should save some money on your mobo + buy a better GPU especially for gaming. also some money on ram and add a HDD

I would wait my man. New gen of cards is here in a week. 1060 has been steadily dropping the past few months, and with the 20 series coming. It's sure to drop more, maybe not a lot more, but it will more than likely go down. the 1060 is a lot better than the 1050 so definitely wait out.

 

As for the cpu, I'm not too sure. I don't dabble much with AMD. Thankfully there are tons of articles out there that you can use to compare price, value, performance.

 

Goodluck!

1.You could get a lower wattage PSU. (550 watts is enough)

2.Definitely a cheaper motherboard. (B450 chipset)

3.With the money you saved get yourself a 4GB RX 580 instead of the 1050ti.

I know it's soon, but can't find anything related to the 7nm next gen

thats months away, likely q1 or q2 of 2019 for ryzen desktop chips.

@DVA I think is talking about GPUs but those don't apply at this price point.

 

Get a cheap mobo, better GPU

I already have all components except CPU and the GPU. I'm planning on upgrading down the line.

return the motherboard. a B450 board will do just fine and give you the budget for a RX580 4GB

The B450 mobos I saw on that store were only 20€ cheaper than that X470... (It is the cheapest store in my country and the mobo was on sale)

At this point you should just be buying an R3 2200G as it will give you a functional PC that can play games

 

Then add in a GPU later, an RX 580 is a better choice than the 1060 due to free-sync savings whenever you upgrade your display.

 

Upgrade to a Ryzen 3000 CPU next year, the R3 2200G will be fine for 60hz gaming.

Usually a bad idea to buy your PC in parts.

I'd rather wait until April if I were to buy a 3000 Ryzen, honestly

Why wouldn't you spend $100 to have a perfectly functional PC for months? Don't even have to replace the CPU when you add in a GPU, would let you save up for a Ryzen 3000 8 core CPU, or by that time R7 2700s may be cheap as well. Just buy the R3 chip for now.

I already have a working laptop. The purpose of the desktop wold be for me to have a solid, more powerful, updatable build so I can work and game once I'm home at the end of the day.
