'Official PCMR' Rig: (customized by Controller Chaos)
The total comes out to $2390 retail price without the graphics card. Depending on the price you use, the full total comes in right around $3100. That's around £2375, 2660€, $3880CAD, and $3920AUS. As /u/ridewiththerockers points out, actual retail prices around the world will vary.
Rules state the contest closes at: "August 9th at 12:00 AM PST or such other date/time as Corsair may announce." Winner will be sent an email on August 19th (RemindMe! August 20 for a reminder).
Edit: don't forget to upvote the guy above me. I didn't compile the list - I just did some quick Googling on the existing list. Good luck everyone! e^2: Fixed GTX link thanks to /u/yoshirimitsu, added Controller Chaos link thanks to /u/bloodstainer.
R5. Pretty close to the i5 in gaming but smashes it in productivity.
Edit: Eh fuck it, full comparison.
i5 7600k - $210. Doesn't come with a stock cooler, can commonly reach overclocks of 4.7-4.8 GHz, 4 Cores / 4 Threads.

Here is a brief comparison between them while OC'd to 3.9 and 4.5
Here is another comparison, this time at 4.0 and 5.0 respectively
Here is a third comparison. 3.8 and 4.7
Draw your own conclusions.
Productivity is a no brainer. 6 Cores and 12 Threads for $210, triple the threads of the 7600k. I'm not sure where to get specific benchmarks for these types of applications, do your own research on that. Anything that takes advantage of lots of cores will do better on the 1600, as far as I'm aware.

At the lower price point - 1400 @ $160 vs i5-7400 @ $185 / i3-7100 @ $160
...No comparison. Intel loses the clock speed advantage while AMD retains the core advantage. There is absolutely no point getting an Intel CPU that isn't the i5-7600k or i7-7700k

So the case is WAY expensive, but options with internal passive cooling hardware aren't exactly frequent, and the build quality is great. The Motherboard did pose a little trouble, since it came with an ancient bios... But I kinda knew that might happen. I have another PC with an 1800x, so I just borrowed it for a bit to do the bios update.
With the build complete, stress testing using intelburntest on extreme does get it a little hotter than I like - quickly rises into the 60's and by the time it really plateaus it's in the low 80s. Admittedly, that's sustained stress, so probably not a concern, but I felt a little better after underclocking to 3.4 and pulling the voltage back to 1.18 max using the pstate OC options. After that, it now never breaks mid-60s under stress, and cinebench score dropped from 880 to 818 - acceptable for the particular use case. I also tested heat buildup in the 3dmark paraglider stress test, and video underclocking wasn't necessary. Underclocking will also likely help with the power limitations --- Although in both stress tests, power was a non-issue, the PSU is just 120w. One side note about psu selection: There are a lot of picoPSUs out there, but almost all of them NEED 12v from the brick, and just directly pass that 12v input to the 12 rail. That's a good solution, but 19v high-current bricks are a LOT less expensive than the 12v equivalents. Especially when you consider the possibility of replacing a brick, I think it's a better solution to get the slightly more expensive picoPSU that accepts higher input voltages (12-24 all OK). Plus, that means the 12v rail is likely better regulated than raw output from a brick.
The PC is my wife's - She just changed jobs, and her computer resides in our bedroom. She uses it for some Android development, accessing her work vm, general purpose pc (browsing, bills, you know), skype, and some light gaming. The old one was a basic build with inexpensive PSU, so when it was on it was crazy loud. Now?
Utter. Dead. Silence :) Also a LOT less space occupied. Total cost was just under $700. Case was of course a huge part of that expense.
Edit to add: forgot to mention, had a MyDigitalSSD 240g m.2 drive in hand already, so that's the drive in use here.
Agreed. As long as the parts are compatible, which we can help with, assembling a pc is the way to go. This budget is difficult, though. Ideally you’d budget $250 (210€?)just for the graphics card. You really want a GTX1060. The graphics card is everything in a gaming computer. You won’t have much budget left; that means bare minimums on everything else.
This build is an excellent place to start:
PCGamer.com cheapest gaming computer build
Intel Pentium G4560
GeForce GTX 1060 3GB
ASRock B250M Pro4
Crucial 8GB (2x4GB) DDR4-2133
Crucial MX300 275GB
EVGA 450W 80+ Bronze PSU
Don’t forget a copy of Windows 10, a decent mouse, keyboard, monitor, and headphones or speakers.
Also I’ll suggest you reuse an old 7200rpm SATA hard drive (250gb+)if you have one in an old PC. This isn’t ideal, but it will help control costs and while it will make the game load slower than the Crucial MX300 listed above, it wont really affect gameplay.

Figured I'd post this more to show what a joke Tom's Hardware has become.
They conveniently ignored the a Ryzen 1600 which does just as well as the 1600X when both are overclocked, but for $219 and it comes with a very competent cooler.
The 7600K doesn't come with a cooler for the price point Tom's has them listed for, with a cooler, the 7600K will cost you around $269. $269 is uncomfortably close to what we see 1700's go for on buildapcsales.

Currently the same price on Amazon, if you have a preference.

Horribly overpriced. For just $20 more you can get a quad-core i5-7500. If you're not gonna overclock you make up the price difference by the fact the 7500 comes with a stock cooler while the 7350K does not. If you're running something single-threaded (which nowadays pretty much no programs are) the 7500 will run at 3.8GHz which is only a 5% difference to 4.2. Meanwhile, in anything multi-threaded it'll crush the 7350K. If you do overclock you can get the i5-6500 and a Z170 board and do a BCLK OC. Even then, an i5-7500 will be faster in 95% of games and all multi-threaded applications vs a 5GHz 7350K.
EDIT:
Also, he mentions the i5-7400 in the video. Unless you really need to save $10 the i5-7500 seems better as it comes at a base clock of 3.4GHz vs 3.0.

You can pick this up on Amazon for $62 with free shipping right now - few dollars more, but isn't it worth it to avoid antonline?
Likewise, they don't list it in their Amazon entries either:
I'd go with the Ryzen 1600 honestly. It's only $30 more, with 50% more cores and 50% more threads.

> yet you are comparing 1600 with 7600k
I don't understand the confusion here. You stated i5s are much better, I provided a comparison stating otherwise.
>why buy expensive ryzen platform
Ryzen 5 1600 is $219, i5 7600K is $229. Not sure if you're intentionally trolling at this point or just really out of the loop.
>what is the source of your benchmarks?
Ryzen 5 and i5 7600K benchmarks aren't exactly a mystery. Here's one from Paul's Hardware giving similar performance to the ones I linked.
239.99 on amazon
I check r/buildapcsales before posting this and it looks like this sale comes every so often. figured i would let ya'll know it was back if you were indeed in the market for this processor.

CPU/GPU Combo, AMD APU Ryzen 2400g - $160.
16GB RAM, TridentZ RGB. - $165. It's important not to skimp on cheap RAM, the APU needs fast dual channel ram to be able to process the graphics as it shares memory lanes with the system memory, as all APUs do. You could go with 8GB and be fine though, just buy a 2x4GB kit for dual channel support and you'll save $80. Try to clock the RAM to at least 3200MHZ in the BIOS to get the most out of the APU or buy ram that comes at that speed.
240GB SSD. -$40. I prefer a smaller capacity but fast and cheap SSD over a larger hard drive, keep in mind the case only holds one 2.5" drive and one extra if you buy a hard drive caddy for the optical drive slot in the case.
Motherboard, has WIFI and Bluetooth built in. - $110. Solid board, decent VRM, great reviews. If you build in my small case, you gotta get an ITX size motherboard, nothing else will fit.
10.1" Monitor. - $110. See this comment for my thoughts on this one. It's the best price to performance portable USB powered monitor I could find. Don't buy the 7" one, it has half the resolution.
The In-Win ITX PC case. - $70. Comes with a 150w power supply, but does not have a GPU slot, hence the AMD APU. Very small, 3 x 8.9 x 7.6 inches.
Not particularly a good deal. 9600K goes for $229.99 on Amazon right now.
This is potentially cheaper on [Amazon] (https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B01NCE8T92/ref=olp_product_details?_encoding=UTF8&me=) (sold by memory house) if you consider shipping costs.
1600x - Also on sale for 289.74 which is lowest I've seen.
Okay well I did the math anyways;
1600x scores ~1368 in multithreading and costs 231 euros. Which give it a score of 5.9 from your chart.
The 1600 gets ~1258 in mulithreading and costs 199 euros, getting a score of 6.32.
This was done assuming amazon.de prices include VAT, but if they don't and you need to add 19% on top, you still get 5.31 for the 1600 and 4.98 for the 1600x putting them both above 1700 anyways.
On Amazon it's $238 https://www.amazon.com/Intel-i5-8600K-Processor-Unlocked-BX80684i58600K/dp/B0759FKH8K/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1524875448&sr=8-3&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_FMwebp_QL65&keywords=i5+8600k&dpPl=1&dpID=51sSl9xb6zL&ref=plSrch

I'm more on the "70 bucks is not worth it, the 2200g is just too good " side of the fence, and i'm glad that the prices here in germany are reflecting that. I think 50% more for SMT is totally justified.
2200g 96€
2400g 149€
Those chips are amazing.
This sale!
Now on the performance side. AMD promised they will keep the AM4 platform for 4 years, so there should be an upgrade path in the future. The CPU is soldered so you don't have to worry about thermal paste degradation, and it performs pretty much the same as Skylake-X which just came out, costs the double, is more power hungry, and overheats easily.
its $310 on amazon and $300 at MC you might want to reconsider pricing

Ever heard of saving your money? $40 is quite a bit and adds up quickly if it's a recurring amount.
For $40 though, it's more of being able to upgrade parts that you might get. an i5-7500 vs an i5-7600k is a $40 difference.
Upgrading from a regular cpu fan to watercooling is <$40.
Although mining has ruined the prices, upgrading from a gtx 1050 to a 1050ti is <$40
8GB of ram is just over $40.
Please be specific , what's the budget ? What's existing Mobo you are using ? Do you want to upgrade Mobo too?

For someone just starting out I think the first, best thing you can do is head on over to https://pcpartpicker.com/list/.
It's a system builder that lists parts, allows you to search through products and price out a virtual build before you start buying.
One good thing is that is check for compatibility between the different parts you choose so you don't run into any trouble. Like if you start off by picking an AMD processor when you go to search for a motherboard it will only list AMD boards (instead of Intel boards) and only boards that work with that chip.
So it's a great resource for first time builders to start getting a better understanding of the parts they need.
As far as MicroCenter it's hands downs the best place to go to buy your CPU & motherboard because of the combo deal. Check their website for some of the other parts you need because they might also offer a discount with those, for things such as SSDs, GPUs, and ram.
But I would also look around (for parts other than your CPU & mobo) on sites like Amazon and Newegg to try and find the best price for your chosen parts.
WARNING: Never buy a monitor from Newegg. Their return policy is garbage, you need to have something like 8 dead pixels for them to do a return. For other items though you can sometimes find good deals.
Also start browsing around on /r/buildapcsales. You'll see some deals but also be sure to read the comments. You'll get on the ground insight from users as to what the good products and the good companies are. I knew nothing about building PCs when I started and I learned almost everything passively just by browsing that sub every day while I looked for deals on parts I needed.
Right now $1500-$2000 can get you a very beefy machine, but there are a lot of choices you're going to have to make as far as what type of machine you want to build.
And I think the first question needs to be do you want to prioritize performance or aesthetics. Now that might sound silly but building your first PC is going to open Pandora's box and once you join the community and start seeing other people's builds there's a good chance you'll find yourself dreaming of having your own glass box with pretty lights one day.
Check out /r/battlestations to see what I'm taking about. You'll see some gorgeous machines there.
Now building a nice looking machine doesn't mean you'll be running a piece of under powered crap, it just means that, staying within a budget, sometimes you'll shave a little off the top in terms of overall performance for something that might make you smile when you look at it. Like spending a bit extra on some 3200Mhz RGB ram modules over some 3600Mhz non RGB sticks. One is faster and cheaper, one is a bit slower and much prettier.
Aesthetics are very important to some people, so ask yourself if you care about that. If you don't that works too! You can put the extra money towards more performance and shove all your shit into a windowless black box that you never have to see.
After that you're going to need to figure out which type of CPU you want, Intel or AMD. The chasm of competition and fanboy-ism that separates these two is as wide as Mac vs PC. Here Intel is Mac and AMD is PC. Intel is the powerful, fancy, over priced company with very good products and some very shitty anti-consumer practices. AMD is the cheeky underdog upstart that does a lot of things better and for much cheaper but also can be plagued with issues.
For someone just starting out I would suggest buying the entry level CPU for the current generation of chips. For Intel I think that would be the i5 9600k (don't quote me on that, I know less about Intel than AMD) and for AMD I would suggest looking at the Ryzen 5 3600x. I'm suggesting the slightly more expensive version of their base model because it comes with a better stock cooler and it's slightly faster right out of the box without having to manually tune it which might be difficult for a beginner.
Now there are more powerful, more expensive CPUs you can buy that have more CPU cores, but mostly these don't really benefit gaming all that much. You're usually much better off spending extra money on on your GPU since that is what is going to power your games.
For GPUs it's a very similar story of competition, except here it's AMD (yes they make GPUs too) vs NVidia. Same story though with NVidia playing the part of Mac. These are a little harder to blindly recommend without knowing more about your build (like what type of monitor you want) but I'll give you three safe options.
Now comes the question of monitors. I did another right up all about monitors that breaks down the basics. It should give you a solid base of understanding a show you the relation between your monitor and you GPU, basically you don't want to spend a whole lot on a fancy monitor that can display a game at 144 FPS if you buy a less expensive GPU that can only run the game at 80 FPS. You also need to decide on size, smaller screens with lower resolution will need less powerful GPUs to get good FPS, larger screens and higher resolutions need something more powerful. Once you start to know more about what you want you can find the sweet spot balance between your monitor and you GPU.
Gonna end there cause I'm sure that's a lot to take in.
Feel to to PM with any questions and enjoy your first build!
> more emphasis on the i5/R5 and i7/R7 lineup
Which is where Intel has yet to significantly cut their prices to make their i3s, i5s and lower-end i7s worth buying. From a previous comment I made:
--------------------------------------------------------------------
i5-8400: https://www.newegg.com/core-i5-8th-gen-intel-core-i5-8400/p/N82E16819117824
> $222
Ryzen 2600: https://www.newegg.com/amd-ryzen-5-2600/p/N82E16819113496
> $134.99
And a direct comparison review: https://www.techspot.com/review/1627-core-i5-8400-vs-ryzen-5-2600/
1080p: 145 FPS average overall for the i5, 133 FPS average overall for the 2600 stock, and 150 FPS average overall for the 2600 OC'ed. 1440p has smaller FPS differences.
1440p: Much smaller FPS difference
A more direct price comparison of the 2600: https://www.newegg.com/intel-core-i3-9th-gen-core-i3-9100/p/N82E16819118022
> i3-9100, 4C/4T
> $129.99
https://www.newegg.com/intel-core-i3-6th-gen-core-i3-6100/p/2MN-0004-00002
> i3-6100, 2C/4T
> $129.99
Is it worth paying nearly double for the i5 over the 2600 when that money could go into the GPU, SSD, RAM, or better CPU cooler to get the higher OC? The 4C/4T i3s are only worth buying if you're only playing games that only scale up to 1-2 cores.
For the 3600: https://www.techspot.com/review/1871-amd-ryzen-3600/
> Direct competition for the R5 3600 should come from Intel's Core i5-9600 which is listed at $213, but we don’t have that part on hand and it doesn’t appear to be on sale either, so the more expensive 9600K will have to do. It costs $255 and doesn’t include a box cooler, so it's not the exact match we were going for, but it will be interesting to see how they stack in terms of raw power.
> The Ryzen 5 3600 comes out significantly more affordable at just $1.53 per frame as it delivers a similar level of performance, but costs almost $100 less. This makes the R5 3600 better value than the 2600X at its current $195 asking price, though it is 18% more costly than the vanilla R5 2600. Even so given the efficiency improvement and the absolutely monstrous uplift in productivity performance, we feel it’s going to be easy to justify the small price premium.
> The Intel Core i5 was a little faster in a few of the games tested, but the R5 3600 was miles faster where you’ll notice it. So this one's pretty cut and dry unless Intel decides to cut pricing heavily.
11 days after the review, the price of the i5 9600 only dropped by $7:
https://www.amazon.com/Intel-i5-9600K-Desktop-Processor-Unlocked/dp/B07HHLX1R8
I could have brought up other CPU reviews, bu there are only a handful that do direct performance/price comparisons against specific mid-range CPUs. If someone found some i3/i5 and low-end i7 models that beat out similar performance tier AMD CPUs, then this subreddit needs to know for anyone that is building a new low or mid-range system. I don't want anyone to end up recreating my friend's situation of how he ended up with an i3-7350K (purchased in 2018 after the i3-8350K launched).
For some reason it didn’t show up on my PC when searching for it, only on mobile, link for anyone interested: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07HHLX1R8
Its suggesting my upgrade include 64gb of memory. Very cool concept, needs work.

If your not going to be gaming that much I'd recommend spending more on your processor than your video card. I would recommend a Intel Core i5-3570K(it's a 3.4ghz but easily overclocked to 3.8ghz without a problem) I've been running that lately in Ableton, and running like 10 instances of Kontakt and even more massive/sylenth1 it hasn't gone over 15% CPU usage. Are you going to be gaming? Or just using it for FL Studio? Also what sort of price range are we looking at?
A g3258 can overclock to i3 performance. The average overclock seems to be 4ghz-4.5ghz. It matches the i7 in single thread performance when overclocked. I saw a cpu/motherboard combo on here for about $100 lol. Or the CPU is available for under $60 right now.

If I were you, I'd go for this
Alrighty then. Let's do this.
You said he is saying in the video the pc manages to crawl 30 fps on GTA V on Ultra Settings, which is, let me tell you, fucking unplayable over time. Anything below 60 fps imo is pure cancer to play with over a long term especially when it comes to a fps which is heavily relying on a good fps count (60+). I really advise you to inform yourself a little with the overall shananigans that are happening inside and outside of your pc. It crucial knowledge that you can use to make good decisions.
Starting on FPS (Frames / Second)
Generally you want over 60fps so you can actually play the game. Play? Yes, first person shooters are UNPLAYABLE without constant 60 fps, I've been playing shooters for ~7 years now, so I roundabout know what I am talking about here. The first graphics intense shooter I played was Battlefield: BadCompany 2 on about 25 fps average on a crappy Toshiba laptop (don't buy toshiba laptops, please don't). Let me tell you, it's a pain in the ass and you don't want to endure the same as me back then.
Deconstructing the Part List
The fact that I don't see an "i" in the processors name combined with a "budget gaming pc" gives me slight creeps. When you're building a pc you want to play on, and you're building one with a Intel-based processor, please make sure you're using atleast a i3 or i5. Anything below that won't make you happy over a long run. Speaking from experience.
These are absolutely fine for the price and honestly probably the absolute best choice you can make when building a budget pc.
THE ONLY ISSUE I HAVE WITH THESE IN THIS BUILD IS THAT YOU CAN'T UNLEASH THEIR FULL POWER. If you ask why, the reason for that is simple. The processor in the amazon link states in the description:
>2 Channel DDR3-1333 memory support
Excuse me, what? Supports 1333Mhz? Your Memory is supposed to be run on 1666Mhz. This is quite a cut in efficiency memory wise, and at this point this build seems like total bs to me. It's like I tell you to go running, but you have to take a backpack filled with stones with you at all times.
Someone please take a set of jumper cables and hit me with them, again this motherboard locks your RAM (memory) speed to 1333Mhz. As a rule of thumb stay away from motherboards pricetagged below 80 bucks, most of these are serious trash. The amazon description is filled with, you guessed right, nothing. Not one technical spec except "TOTALLY FAST USB3" and 1333Mhz RAM speed. Wow.
Let me tell you something, seagate hard drives are fine imo, but not for todays standards. I'd really advise you to get a SSD, which are way faster. Your Windows will boot within seconds (I am serious, mine boots in about 6) and so will your games.
If you just want to store files, HDDs are the way to go because they are so cheap. But when you install and boot your Operating System on a HDD, you will sit minutes to get to the boot screen and booting takes half a eternity and that surely doesnt get better over time.
At this point I just want to point out that this piece of s*** just used "Amazon's goes great together" algorithm and pretty much nothing else.
Seems reasonable, its a small card, but price/performance seems adequate here. It's always hard to pick on specific niche graphics cards because they all perform somewhat different. Don't expect super hard ultra graphics with this one, but imaginably most games should run on it acceptably at middle settings.
Well, what can I say here. It's a MicroATX case (thats a form factor for cases reaching from miniATX to ATX). So do me one favor if you decide to do your build in one of these, please make sure you have enough space and air around your pc, it will need it. Everything is very tight-packed in a MicroATX case, because theres literally no space whatsoever. This makes it hard for air to transport the heat out, which can drastically decrease your pc's performance over hours of playing.
Yes, no, I don't really know here. My rule of thumb again is to buy only beQuiet psus because they have serious quality behind the price. Don't get me wrong EVGA is a really ok manufacturer, but I wouldn't set my 2k$ rig on the risk of being fried because the power supply has a bad day. I mean technically I can give you a yes to use it in a budget build, but a definite no if you want to build something of higher quality. ~40 bucks +- just doesn't suit my sense of a magical box that is in charge to keep your parts intact for years. Use it, but be aware of that.
Conclusion
Please do not build this PC, I am sure LinusTechTips builds are way stabler and better thought through for their price tags. I really do not recommend TechSource for pc builds, his videos look very view generating and zero effort to me. His entire "benchmark" video for the pc is a dubstep compilation for games, where it would be sad if they'd perform any worse then shown. Like seriously, Heroes of the Storm? Blade and Soul? these are not really graphic intese games and have not really stable grounds to be benchmarked with. Same with csgo. I have easy 300fps+ in cs, but you can probably run csgo on a toaster if you know how.
On a side note, the GTA V gameplay looks so smooth because it was filmed by an external camera which smoothes the frames to 30 fps. This is quite a dirty trick. He could've used the actual footage he took with fraps (the thingy that records your screen) and shows you the fps in the top left corner), but he did this on purpose because he knows the results are drastically different when you see the raw footage instead.
This took me a bit, so If you find it helpful please give it a upvote.**
If you have any questions regarding anything, please, just ask. Doesn't cost you anything and I won't blame you either.
Tagging /u/effoxs, /u/SheepRoll, /u/Marrked, /u/morepandas, /u/tooDank_dot_js.
If the peeps over at /r/buildapc or /r/buildmeapc decide to take it on this build I'd be glad if you could link them to this comment so they don't have to redo this.
Just a heads up, it's the same price on Amazon and it's Prime Eligible so free 2-day shipping for Amazon Prime members.
i3 6100 - 9.3k
8GB DDR4 RAM - 3k
H110 Mobo - 5k
Antec BP 450PS - 2.5k
Deepcool Micro ATX cabinet 2.5k(Dont get a mid tower, they arent worth it unless you are getting an ATX motherboard)

That's about 26.3k without a GPU and a monitor, you could up to an i5 for a little extra but its worth the money if you want longetivity.

and lets toss the v4 in there...
http://www.cpubenchmark.net/cpu.php?cpu=Intel+Xeon+E5-2680+v4+%40+2.40GHz
If you notice, it has a higher TDW, 120 vs 95, oh. It's also $1800, vs $500.
If AMD's Threadripper is under $1300, it will be golden, since we can assume pretty good scaling, with more cores.
Thread ripper could easily hit 28000 there. which beats the record.
And with 44 PCI-e lanes, it could easily take out a duel socket system, and run a shit ton of PCI-e devices nativly alone.
If the leaks are anything to go by (and the numbers were either surprisingly close or totally accurate for the top 3 CPUs in the stack), aren't the 4c/8t CPUs going to have even lower clocks and power draw? I don't remember seeing any rumour for them pushing even 4GHz, but it could all be complete garbage for all I know, since it makes sense to be able to have higher clocks with less cores like Intel does.
Edit: Oh yeah, check this description out: https://www.amazon.com/AMD-YD180XBCAEWOF-Ryzen-1800X-Processor/dp/B06W9JXK4G/ref=zg_bs_229189_1?_encoding=UTF8&amp;psc=1&amp;refRID=02EPSEQGTTNHK09PX19Z "Push the envelope with 8 processor cores, 16 threads, and the highest clock rates you can get on the advanced Socket AM4 platform."

What's your cute little chart tracking? Average FPS? If so, that's a shit stat that doesn't matter as much as the low-1% and low-5%...which is worlds-worse in modern games with AMD CPUs.
> but is double the price, that $250 would take you from a 1070 to 1080

For a mere $65 more the Ryzen 5 2600 is a much better choice as far as performance and future proofing go. It would pair quite nicely with any GPU, and won't bottleneck pretty much anything (unless you get something ridiculous like a Titan V, perhaps). As for a motherboard, I've always went with ASUS. The ASUS Prime B350-Plus would be my choice for your price range.
you can actually order it right now with a trick.

just add it to cart and order it lol.
Ryzen 2200G or 2400G
(https://www.amazon.com/AMD-Ryzen-Processor-Radeon-Graphics/dp/B079D8FD28)
That's what you would want to go for if you dont want to spend a ton on a GPU
Amazon has it for $250, Newegg has it for 255, add a cooler and it's close to 50% more. (the 3600 is $200 on both, and comes with a stock cooler.)

the 3600x seems to be way cheaper and very close to the same performance.. i see no reason to buy a 9700k in 2019 at its current price.
found a working link for the3800xokay it only works if i go to CachedView.com, put in this:

Amazon.ca has it listed at the same price now as well, $489.99 and free one day prime shipping where available. Can use ebates/gcr to bring it down a little more if you want to squeeze out the savings.
You can say in a review as many things about a HDD than about any other tech product: did the installation work well/was easy or not? were the screws and cable included or not? does the hard drive make noise when writing? is it fast when writing? is it fast when reading? etc.
It's the same for a CPU. But CPUs don't have such high 1 Star % : https://www.amazon.fr/Intel-Skylake-Processeur-i3-6100-BX80662I36100/product-reviews/B015VPX2EO/
I probably spent hours reading reviews about HDD (both 3,5" and external USB hard drives 2,5") and I confirm there is a strange bias, that I don't notice on other online shops.
Maybe it's linked to the fact, it's not Amazon who sell them, but third parties that might sell "seconds".

CPU- So the Pentium G4560 is a dual core however it has 4 threads so it acts like a 4 core. It should last you quite a while as it's good for even gaming. Here's the CPU on Amazon since it doesn't show up on PcPartPicker for some reason: https://www.amazon.com/Intel-BX80677G4560-Pentium-Desktop-Processors/dp/B01NCE8T92/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1496550581&amp;sr=1-1&amp;keywords=g4560
Motherboard- Sort of a barebones one, should have all the I/O you'd need including USB 3.1 and Type C. Here's more about the mobo: https://www.msi.com/Motherboard/B250M-PRO-VDH.html#productFeature-section.
Memory- 8 gigs should be more than enough, I doubt you will ever need more but there is always an option to upgrade to 16 gigs.
Storage- 240 gigs of SSD storage should be enough for any Office apps plus more and than a 1 TB HDD should cover any mass storage.
Case- Cheapest case on PcPartPicker, it's nothing fancy but it'll get the job done. Comes with one 120 mm fan and a 80 mm fan so that's nice.
PSU- 430w is more than enough for this build and should cover some upgrades.
Monitor/Keyboard/Mouse- All seem like decent ones from reviews. Just your standard 1080p monitor and then the keyboard and mouse should do it's job just fine.
Edit: Whoops forgot the monitor keyboard and mouse. Just redid the entire post, sorry about that if you read through it already.
Same in UK, it varies greatly depending on the product but as an example:
i5 US vs i5 UK
$219 vs $262 (£161)
Adds up when buying a new PC.
I like the second list you have, the $518.89 one. I have a good monitor already, so that saves me a bit. I have a few quick questions because it's been so long since I've build a computer that I'm no longer really able to tell how this will work.
This looks like a good buy to me but I'd be very grateful if you can give me a quick idea of how it will actually perform - this is "all greek to me," as the saying goes :(
edit: formatting
List is missing price for the 3570k, it's listed ~360USD (new) ~170$ used, on Amazon. Though it was only ~250$ when it came ~4 years ago.
And the Motherboard is looks like to be one of the better ones, 100$+.
So total is near 1000$
One hell of a find.
The i5 4670k is on sale for $209.99 atm, and it is insanely fast. In games AND multi threaded applications it is superb. It will also overclock well, if you ever get into that. I would buy it quick before it goes back to $239.99. If you do purchase it, make sure your motherboard socket is LGA 1150.
http://www.amazon.com/Intel-i5-4670K-Quad-Core-Desktop-Processor/dp/B00CO8TBOW/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1394841252&amp;sr=8-1&amp;keywords=i5+4670k
That's not true. The i3 series has nearly the same performance per thread as a quad core i5. Even the Intel Pentium G3258 which is basically an i3 without hyperthreading, should crush SC2.
Eurogamer has been running games on a budget PC with i3 4130 and gtx 750 and has been getting equal or better performance than consoles on most games. Since SC2 doesn't utilize more than 2 cores, a dual core should be more than enough. Just make sure that the dual core has a decent clock speed and is preferably not AMD.
See, actually, that is not true. First off, towers are things that look cool, not actually enhance your performance. Also, 30fps is the same on all platforms - sickening.
And to actually answer OP's question, Yes, it is possible to get a rig that will run most games on high to ultra settings @ 1080p @ 60fps for ~500 USD.
Now, the following rig is direct copy and paste from /r/pcmasterrace, an entire subreddit dedicated to PC gaming and having fun. This is one of the best builds I have seen for $500, and if you want, PM me or post on /r/pcmasterrace and they can help customize it more. Enjoy!.

Augmentations
Is there a specific reason for not buying a 1700 and overclocking it instead? Im actually not sure why 1800x prices are rising when sales for the chip or fairly low due to 1700 hitting basically the same clock speed.
Anyways, looks like Amazon and shopRBC have the 1800x at $594 and $599
https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B06W9JXK4G/?tag=pcp0f-20
http://www.shoprbc.com/ca/shop/product_details.php?pid=23773978
That’s not from AMD, again, 3rd party seller. Also, that same seller is selling the chip solo for $164
Nobody talking about Ryzen 7 1700X at 339.99$ ? Same price as 1700. Also come with Quake Champions.
https://www.amazon.ca/AMD-Ryzen-1700X-Processor-YD170XBCAEWOF/dp/B06X3W9NGG/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1511539506&amp;sr=8-2&amp;keywords=ryzen+7
1700x
Razer Naga
H100i v2
Fixed all the links now..
This (1500x) is their best quadcore with full 2CCX's worth of 16MB L3 cache https://www.amazon.com/AMD-Processor-Wraith-Cooler-YD150XBBAEBOX/dp/B06XKVNRSM/r
But I'm sure the hexacore 1600 is their best midrange CPU (and best value at under $220). It's basically a higher end CPU at midrange price.
https://www.amazon.com/AMD-Processor-Wraith-Cooler-YD1600BBAEBOX/dp/B06XNRQHG4/
Whether the Ryzen 5 1600x qualifies as mid range or high end might depend on your income figure. I'd consider it either. $270 at Amazon right now.
https://www.amazon.com/AMD-Ryzen-1600X-Processor-YD160XBCAEWOF/dp/B06XKWT7GD
You could also get a few more cores with a Ryzen 3 1200 (UK) on Amazon, although you would also have to buy a GPU but you could easily be able to get 60 fps at 1080p with a decent card.
Wat. You can literally get an 8600k for less on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Intel-i5-8600K-Desktop-Processor-unlocked/dp/B0759FKH8K
It is, I didn't realize the EU had it so bad. I just did some research.
I looked at price history for the i5-8600k In the US, UK, and FR on Amazon.
USA (minimal price increase over lowest (still lower than launch)
https://camelcamelcamel.com/Intel-i5-8600K-Desktop-Processor-unlocked/product/B0759FKH8K?context=search
UK(prices slightly over launch, but much more expensive than the USA)
https://uk.camelcamelcamel.com/Intel-BX80684I58600K-Core-i5-8600K-Processor/product/B0759FKH8K
FR(prices slightly over launch, but much more expensive than the USA)
https://fr.camelcamelcamel.com/Intel-i5-8600K-3-6GHz-Smart-processeur/product/B0759FKH8K
Kind of interesting. Sorry that buying sucks over there... You might check the used market in the USA. Ebay USA. Plenty of people ship internationally.

Seront sûrement vendus :
Le gouvernement taïwanais a ordonné à toutes les entreprises de l'île qui vendent à l'équipementier chinois de télécommunications ZTE de suspendre les expéditions jusqu'à ce qu'elles obtiennent une approbation. Cela concerne le fabricant de processeurs MediaTek qui a arrêté de vendre à ZTE.
Cette nouvelle arrive une semaine après que les Etats-Unis aient interdit aux compagnies américaines de vendre des composants à ZTE pendant sept ans, après que la firme chinoise ait échoué à un accord avec les Etats-Unis.

$349 on Amazon too. Prime eligible.
Good find!
Indeed, Ryzen 1700X is $220 at Amazon.
Ryzen 7 1700 on sale $290 (base price $330)
Ryzen 7 1700x on sale $325 (base price $400)
Intel 7700k on sale $309 (base price $350)
30% is huge misinformation, these are way more similarly priced than people like to admit. 30% would put the Intel at over 400 dollars on sale. The AMD bias is ridiculous as of late.
For another $30 you can also get the 1700k on Amazon. I'm trying to find a good reason not to pull the trigger. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06X3W9NGG/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&amp;psc=1
Wow they are expensive for the other chips.
E.g. £150 for a B Grade 1600x -
NEW they are £129 at Amazon - https://www.amazon.co.uk/AMD-Ryzen-1600X-Desktop-CPU/dp/B06XKWT7GD/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1540450045&amp;sr=8-1&amp;keywords=1600x
Ryzen 1's are falling faster than SSD's at the moment.
If you can stretch for it, the Ryzen 1600x is currently $150, and has twice the multi-core speed. This would future proof you much better. Keep an eye on those deals!
CPU - £180 https://smile.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B06XKWT7GD/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&amp;psc=1
Motherboard - £118 https://smile.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B06WWR533P/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&amp;psc=1
RAM - £143 https://smile.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B06XZT894R/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&amp;psc=1
GFX card - £197 https://smile.amazon.co.uk/Gigabyte-Nvidia-1060-GDDR5-Black/dp/B01KHWOAR4/ref=sr_1_3?s=computers&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1542721941&amp;sr=1-3&amp;keywords=1060
Case - up to you, ensure that it can take full size boards though (most do)
Monitor - Amazon Warehouse will get you one for about 150
Keyboard and mouse - keyboards are fairly standard, for a mouse try and get one with some extra buttons but don't go mental.
you can go up and down based on what you actually want though, for example if you spend extra on the gfx card that is SLI or Crossfire compatible you can buy the same card later when it drops in price and you are able to slot it in too, so you've boosted your graphics without having to pull everything apart again.
no point in suggesting a PSU right now as it all depends on what power is needed by components
If you have any questions PM me
Here's an Amazon link to the Ryzen 1200: https://smile.amazon.com/AMD-Desktop-Processor-Stealth-YD1200BBAEBOX/dp/B0741DN383/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=ryzen+1200&amp;qid=1569103625&amp;s=gateway&amp;sr=8-1
Mega ripoff, probably spam. This CPU normally retails for $95 on Newegg and Amazon. Reported.
Edit: currently $101 ships from and sold by Amazon, for example. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0741DN383/
lol @ XBone. Sounds like the name of a villain in a 90s action movie.
Here's the deal. You can go the console route, and that's fine. But you're going to spend a lot more money in the long run.
You buy a PS4, an xbox one, a switch, whatever. Call it $400. OK. Cool. You buy games for it. $40, $30, $50. Sweet. Controllers. $50 $50 $50... Shit it's getting expensive. New games come out. Why the fuck are they $60 a piece? Holy shit. You wait a while. Jesus they only went down to $55? FFFFFFUUUUUU I wanna playyyyyyy.... Why aren't there more games and cheaper games? Granted, you do have the nice option to buy classic games on PSN and for Switch. Ugh.....fine, I'll shell out for Overwatch. Fine. I'll shell out for Destiny 2. Fuuuuck that was like $120. What....what the fuck is this? PS5? Nintendo Switch2?
ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME?
BUT. Let me play out that scenario for you on a PC.

Total cost: $570 US, or roughly what you'd spend on your console and a few controllers.
BUT, now you have the entire library of all the computer games ever made at your disposal. Not to mention that, but you've got emulators to play all those classics that you could have bought on the PSN/Switch.
And instead of paying $60 every time a new game comes out, you look at what came out about 6 months ago. You put it on your steam wishlist. You get an email someday soon that says "an item on your wishlist is on sale."
Oh holy shit. Doom is $16. Holy fuck, it's the steam summer sale. Games are 75% off, 80% off....they're basically giving them away.
Then you sign up for Humble Bundle.
Holy shit. You can get Alien Isolation for $5.
These are 5 star games we're talking here. Not to mention you get like 10 no names to go with it. Hell, you're probably going to spend hours playing some of those.
Pretty soon you've got 100+ games that you may have spent a few hundred dollars on. Things are great, but you decide hey, I would LIKE to have a little more FPS on these. So you order yourself a new GT 1080, and sell your 1050 on ebay making back about $50. Later on down the line you decide to upgrade the processory, maybe add a stick of ram later. Now you got a stew goin. But you don't have to, that rig will play almost anything (though possibly on lower visual settings)
PC is just more budget friendly in my opinion. You never have to just throw the whole thing away and get a new one. You can always replace components and upgrade things individually. There's never new platforms to learn, get used to. You can always use your same old controller, and you can always play your old games. In my view, buying consoles is basically throwing away money because you have to buy so much hardware EVERY TIME they decide to release a new console.
There's give and take to it. I just like the stability and deep discounts I get from Steam, GOG, and Humble Bundle. I wouldn't even game if it wasn't this cheap.

the Athlon 860K from AMD gets a lot of love for the budget conscious.
> Also, in my last post a kind individual recommended me the rx 480
For your resolution and the games you mentioned the RX 480 is more powerful than needed. The GTX 950 would be just fine.
For the i3, I'd go with the i3-6100. The H110 boards are not really more expensive, and DDR4 ram is cheap. Or do you have more than 8GB?
For the GPU, you have four options:
In your case the R7 370 should be fine:

ALL OF'EM = $329 (the graphics card has a mail-in-rebate $20)
Are we good? Haha!
It would've been much cheaper if you consider the "used" parts and going with the ex-generation parts (Mobo+Cpu). Heck, X1 and PS4's parts are kinda old, ya know.
Mobo - Biostar Motherboard TB250-BTC
CPU - Intel 3.70 GHz Core i3-6100
Risers - Mailiya 6-Pack PCIe Dual Chip PCI-E 16x to 1x Powered Riser Adapter Card w/ 60cm USB 3.0 Extension Cable & 6 Pin PCI-E to SATA Power Cable
PSU - Corsair AXi Series, AX1200i
On the motherboard, you can fiddle with all the BIOS settings regarding mining, etc. I got hung up because I chose "6 cards" for mining. It did a weird POST screen and wouldn't boot. I put it on "More than 6" and it works fine (even though I only have 6).
On the Power Supply, you can just get any PSUs or any 1200W. I did notice it was pulling just over 1000W the other night but I didn't check which algorithm it was doing. There is another Corsair 1200W for $50 less than mine. I don't know the difference, but it wasn't available when I ordered, so I just threw down for $300.
Good luck! Let me know if you run into trouble and I'll look at my settings or whatever.
The i5 7600k is already going for ~280EUR which is ~$300, so if I get SMT with that for ~300EUR / ~$320, it wouldn't be the end of the world.
But I guess Intel might also adjust pricing, based on AMD. So we might get cheaper Intel CPUs which would be nice.
Also roughly same price on Amazon
update to i5-7500
Since this build is on such a strict budget, I would do one thing. I would use unactivated windows but use the money saved to get a better processor such as i5 7500. This would add about 40 dollars to the price, but would be worth it.
Edit: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01MZZJ1P0
i5-7500?

http://cpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/Intel-Pentium-G4620-vs-Intel-Core-i5-7500/3895vs3648
Edit: wrong benchmark
TL;DR: Currently have i3-6100. Looking at i5-6500 and i5-7500. Would like an upgrade recommendation so I can run games like Tarkov and PubG.
I'm very sad to say, I built this rig in late 2016, and I still feel like I don't know what the hell I'm doing. I got by with a lot of help from redditors and Youtube videos so I have no idea what's good and what isn't.
Currently, I have an i3-6100. I skimped on some parts due to being on a budget. In addition to upgrading my RAM by 8GB (Currently have 8GB) I'm hoping to upgrade my CPU. I also have an EVGA GTX 950 in there.
If it matters This is my motherboard
So what I'm looking for is an LGA 1151 slot, right?
Here is the first option
Here is the second option
What confuses me, is the second one is one generation newer than the first one, right? Why are they the same price? I'm also told if I go above a certain gen I'd have to upgrade my BIOS? I'd like to avoid that if possible. I've also read that in reality, an i5 is plenty sufficient for games, and i7 isn't worth the extra money unless you're video editing/rendering, etc. Lastly, the stock cooler that comes with the cpu should suffice, yes? I don't care about overclocking.
I'm looking to smoothly run Tarkov, Hunt Showdown, PubG, things like that. I don't care about 4k or 1440p or anything really. Ideally I'd like to at least keep it to 60fps though. Smooth gameplay is primarily what I'm after.
I'm also open to AMD and such if there's a comparable option that's more cost-effective, the intel i-series was just a bit easier for me to tell the difference between the different tiers (3, 5, 7)
I know it's a bit verbose, so thank you for reading.
Hmm? It is on Newegg and Amazon...?
https://www.amazon.com/Intel-BX80677G4560-Pentium-Desktop-Processors/dp/B01NCE8T92
You can get the 4560 for ~30$ cheaper. (this is not available on pc part picker) https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B01NCE8T92/?tag=pcp0f-20
No need for CPU cooler unless you want the "cool looking" factor.
Get 2 stick ram for dual channel, and you can get 2133Mhz for cheaper.
Get Pci-e wifi card, they usually work better.
Also no graphic card, that'll make gaming tricky - depending on what game of course.

You're severely overestimating the CPU usage of these tasks. GamersNexus did a great explanation here.
First google result is $364 shipped, it's really not that big of a difference. The 9th gens are coming down in price fairly quickly throwing off some of these value comparisons because the Intel chips are older and no longer having shortages.

2970WX: Microcenter ($800) vs Amazon ($915)
(this list is not exhastive but rather is to give an idea of prices across the entire price range)
And Microcenter lets you save a farther $30 when bundling with a motherboard.
Specs for those who don't read imgur descriptions..
There you go. Nice work Rayne_Storm.
Edit: If you can't get the Microcenter deal on the i5-3570k, Amazon has it for $214.99 right now.
From what I have seen, there isnt much of a price difference. I would go Haswell since it's current gen. My 2 cents.
i5 3570K Ivy Bridge
i5 4670K Haswell
Save the money? They're within 20 dollars if you get a 3570k
3570k
8350
And that's the K version, the normal version is even cheaper and still better.
That build has excellent bones. It'll take to upgrading very well. I would want to upgrade both the CPU and GPU at the same time though.
You can get an i5 3570k used for $155 (maybe less if you shop around on /r/hardwareswap /craigslist/ebay etc.): https://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B007SZ0E1K/ref=dp_olp_used?ie=UTF8&amp;condition=used
Then the sky's the limit on the GPU. The recently released RX 480 would be a massive improvement over your $650 and costs ~$240. You could go cheaper though. Even a GTX 950 would be a major step up from the 650. Kinda depends on your goals.
It's on sale on Amazon right now! (So in case you haven't bought it yet)
http://www.amazon.com/Intel-i5-4670K-Quad-Core-Desktop-Processor/dp/B00CO8TBOW
Just theorycrafting, but if you are looking to get an i5, you may be able to price match Amazon to Staples. This would reduce the price to Amazon's listing ($233.67). Use the Visa Checkout option and you should be able to get the i5-4670k for $183.67 + tax.
I'm not 100% as I'm not sure if I fully understand Staples' price match policy.
The 3570k was a great processor, but the new one is out and it costs just as much, so there is no real reason to get the one you linked.
Why'd you choose socket 2011? You can get the same gaming performance out of socket 1150 for a LOT cheaper. I'm not sure what is available to be shipped to norway, but I'm fairly certain you can get socket 1150 parts shipped out to you.
For instance, this processor matched with this motherboard will give you excellent basis for a solid gaming rig.
Furthermore, you can up the graphics with the money saved to a GTX 670 or a GTX 760 and get the graphics power to play any game on high (for the most part).
also, that powersuply brand isn't exactly amazing. I'd go for something by seasonic, like this or something by thermaltake like this
For a gaming rig, unless you're planning on running virtual machines off of it or use programs that utilize a LOT of memory space (photoshop, autocad, 3dmax), 8GB of ram is plenty. You don't need 16gb. Nothing can utilize that much running games and basic OS functions.
For the most part, unless you're a SERIOUS audiophile, there is no need for a dedicated sound card, considering the board I linked to, and most other z87/h87 boards come with onboard sound cards that can handle up to 7.1 surround on their own.
If 1150 socket components aren't available to you in Norway, then you can look for 1155 components, IE an i5-3570k with a nice z77 based motherboard.
Let me know if you have those options available to you out there. A lot of money can be saved by switching to a less-robust cpu/motherboard platform.
edit After a bit of trial and error, I've discovered it's rather difficult to get things shipped to Norway. is there a norway-based amazon website you can use? or what?
The deal is neither goor nor bad: it also costs $179 on amazon - no cupon needed.
Since you're doing an upgrade and your cpu budget is $200, you might as well buy a cpu with a higher ipc like the i5-6500.
Not really. It appears amazon has it on sale as well.
Newegg is $25 more. There have been price drops to $199 in the past.

So, no. The normal prices is not $199 according to the amazon price history. It seems to be more about $225. However, it has been down to $188. So, not the best deal but still 25 bucks off.
http://camelcamelcamel.com/Intel-i5-4690-Processor-Cache-BX80646I54690/product/B00JST2QEW
For only 5 more dollars you can get the 4690 from Amazon for 199
EDIT: Also, you seem to be cutting it mighty close there with the PSU. NVidia recommends a minimum of 500W. I'd suggest going with this for $10 more if you're married to the idea of 80+ Gold or this for $5 less but a downgrade to 80+ Bronze (extra watts never hurt anybody)
Amazon, they ship to AU.

What I'm wondering is why you're using a Sandy CPU on an Ivy motherboard. If you're prepared to go for the Ivy route, why not get the new Ivy i5-3570k?
You can also get a Gigabyte-made bundle of the Ivy i5 and the board you have on the list.
True. Infact they are at the same price at Amazon right now (3570k and 4670k)
Don't worry about it if its too much of a hassle, here is one quad core that would fit right into your build
http://www.amazon.com/Intel-Core-i5-3570K-Quad-Core-Processor/dp/B007SZ0E1K/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1368492238&amp;sr=8-1&amp;keywords=Intel+Core+i5
You can get the 3570K from amazon for 209 here
>So Amazon shouldn't be able to store your IP along with the searches (unless this info is incorrect, and it could well be).
See the eff statement linked above. While Canonical does act as a middleman, its still possible for amazon to track users (at least the initial version that was analyzed, though I've seen no evidence to say that this has been fixed). You search locally, data is sent to Canonical. Canonical asks Amazon for a new search query each time, and Amazon replies to Canonical with say 20 relevant ads. Canonical sends back to you as URLs to amazon.com to include in unity, and these images can work identically to web bugs. The key point is the product images are fetched from amazon's servers from your IP address right after you searched for the term. Amazon could easily give a unique combination of ads or add a useless query parameter to the image fetches or just have 100 symlinks to each image and ensure every search term gets a unique fingerprint collection of image links. And before you think this is getting paranoid, amazon does this sort of tracking all the time.
If I copy a URL:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B007SZ0E1K/ref=s0_aaaaa_aa_a000_a0_a0?pf_rd_m=AAAAAAAAA0AAA&amp;pf_rd_s=center-2&amp;pf_rd_r=0A00AAAA00AA00AAA00A&amp;pf_rd_t=000&amp;pf_rd_p=0000000000&amp;pf_rd_i=000000
the only part that's relevant to get to the product is
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B007SZ0E1K . The rest is to track how I got to that link (and I tried to anonymize the rest by changing everything to A and 0).
Its a trivial task for amazon to correlate your search query to your IP address and to advertise to you best (e.g., correlate with your amazon account) they will likely do that (and this assumes amazon never received the IP address in the first place which is not clear).
Furthermore, the legal notice allows third parties (amazon) to store your IP and search query.
I classify any adware that monitors you as a subset of spyware. Wouldn't call it malicious or illegal or malware, and agree its relatively easy to uninstall.
> Ha, well of course I don't NEED 120fps. Just trying to get the most of out of my monitor.
Fair enough. That's why I made sure I out the emoticon in there. :)
> I was basing my info from AnandTech[1] - it is showing a solid 10fps difference between the two cards. Seems like in the end I'll have to decide if that is worth the ~$200 difference.
My problem with relying on such articles, even form a legitimate source such as Anandtech, is that every system is different. A measly 10FPS difference is well within the margin for error when you consider you'll have a different system entirely, even with some components in common.
As an example, here's my system specs (Amazon links if you want deeper specs, not that I think it matters here):
*16GB DDR3-1600 RAM (more than 8 because I use VMs)
I have 2 of this kit
Now, that's a reasonably decent system but it's aged somewhat. Most folks wouldn't think it'd run things perfectly because they've been taught by the masses and by the parts manufacturers that you need new kit to stay in the sweet spot, performance-wise. In reality, though, I am pulling a solid 60FPS in FarCry 4 at the highest possible "Ultra" settings and a resolution of 1920x1200.
I don't need an SLI rig, or even a 700 series card to do so. All I do is keep my system well clear of crapware and don't screw with Windows settings. It's a default install of Windows 8.1 upgraded over the top of an old Windows 7 install that was upgraded over an older yet Vista install. According to conventional wisdom, this should be an unstable system yet it isn't.
Anyhow, that needn't mean you shouldn't get what you want, only that you needn't be at the highest possible end of things to have solid performance. The real key, based on my decades of experience supporting Windows professionally, including in depth training by actual Windows developers while at MSFT, is simple. It's to a) leave Windows well enough alone to do what it needs to do and b) to keep things that cause issues long term (installing and uninstalling of programs to test, for example) on a separate system entirely. Rather than an actual "break box" as I used to have, I now use VMs instead.

You can get the 4670k (unlocked) processor for $5 more on Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00CO8TBOW/?tag=pcpapi-20
CPU : If you're doing just light video editing, i5-4670k might be a better, cheaper choice. If heavy VE, go with i7
The rest seems fine to me.
Get this CPU instead, better and on sale for the same price http://www.amazon.com/Intel-Graphics-BX80646I74770-Generation-Technology/dp/B00CO8TBOW
Save yourself some money perhaps?
i7 4770k is what I was referring to. However, it's pretty expensive, which is why I also suggested the i5 4670k. Both of these are based on the new Haswell architecture for Intel so they'll output a lot of power. As for GPUs, it seems the new GTX 750 TI could do a great job. It's relatively inexpensive and has a lot of horsepower for only $150. I'm not big on mobos, so I'm not going to be much help there.

This would last you a good while.
This is the same thing, but with more cores for programs that are better optimized for them.

You have a socket 1155 motherboard, so pretty much "any" socket 1155 Core i5 will fit.
That processor will not fit :( It's a socket 1150 processor, so it's not compatible with your motherboard.

The reason you want an i5 even if you never hit the threshold is well, best bang for the buck like Coogle said.
You could always go AMD, with like an 8350 or 6300.
If I were you, I'd get the i5, as it can do massive Reason projects and another thing or two as well.

The cheaper Core i5-4460 is another option. A bit slower for $10 less.
I personally have an i5-4460. Maybe even a little cheaper. Also a bit more juice.
i5 4460 is $185 on Amazon and should fit the bill.

Comes in a little over 1k, but I included keyboard, mouse, monitor, speakers, etc. Things you may already have, or have extras of. Mini-ITX check, SSD, check, Windows 10, check (they come in USBs now so no need optical drive). Modular PSU so you can actually fit all your parts in easily. GPU should be able to handle most games satisfactorily. CPU should handle most tasks well. GLHF
If you're not OCing this one Intel Core i5-4690 Processor - BX80646I54690 by Intel http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00JST2QEW/ref=cm_sw_r_udp_awd_4-i0tb0WMMR6V, if you are then get the unlocked version and a CM 212 Evo
Getting a 120GB SSD drive is gonna make you have to micro manage it or not get to use it for much. If all you want is faster boot times a Hybrid does the job. If you want to put games, do video encoding or any other HDD taxing resources your gonna want a larger SSD so you can actually put a fair amount on it.
I don't know if you can get amazon down there but this is what I use: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00AZMLIDQ which is pretty much the same price and honestly better in every way. I can't remember which CPU you had and since you deleted it I can't read it but I recommend Intel Core i5-4690 @ 3.50GHz if your going for the best CPU per value, I believe yours listed at like $229 so this should be in the ballpark. If you're curious you can use this site to check its price to performance ratio (The i5 I listed is the best value/performance i5 in the 4XXX line of them) https://www.cpubenchmark.net/cpu_value_available.html
As far I know the 4690 is runs faster and cooler, and you can get it for a cheaper price than the 4670. Good thing you're ordering soon, because there's a sale on the 4690 at newegg til the 13th for $15 off, which makes it $210.
EDIT: Here's a link to newegg. It's currently the same price at amazon as well.

This should work.
[Intel G3258 4 Pentium 3.20 GHz] (https://www.amazon.com/Intel-G3258-Pentium-Processor-BX80646G3258/dp/B00KPRWAZQ?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=xtremegaminer-20) , I wouldnt really go with AMD processors, Prob this motherboard but there might be something else someone will mention, wait for the rx 460, uhh and just get ripjaws ram, with the money saved should be enough to get 460
edit: Saw its not for gaming, the 99$ rx 460 should be fine
g3258 for 55 shipped
If you were to go with Intel you would have to consider overclocking at this budget!
If you're very inclined to purchase an Intel build and you're willing to Overclock I recommend you get the Intel G3258.
That CPU is a beast and will blaze through anything you throw at it for such a low price.
Now, if you're not comfortable overclocking then don't sweat it and get the AMD one.
I suggest this as well as a motherboard that works with it.
Since R9 270 serves well for gaming, for that budget you can nail an G3258 plus an H81-B85-H97 motherboard, FX-4100 is a pretty "old" chip and may be an slightly bottleneck.
At most, you can get:
GPU
Green Side: EVGA GTX 960 starting at $200 dls may be an 25-35% faster than your current GPU.
Red Side: R9 280X Vapor X Same story, but performs a little better than the GTX 960.
CPU
]Blue side:] One of the best performers is the G3258 it's a Haswell unlocked chip, you can get this little monster up to 4,2 ghz easily with the proper cooling, also to note you need a new motherboard for this chip, ANY ASUS branded board (H81, B85, H97, Z97) is able to overclock unlocked mutiplier chips since last year i think, it from $69-89
one of the best price-performance chip, don't get fooled by the "Pentium name".
Red Side: FX-6300, a bit "old" but also one of the best price/performance chips, it doesn't even bottlenecks a top tier card. And you won't need to change you Motherboard.
So: ($69 G3258 - $55 ASUS H81-M ) If you go Intel side, so you'll left $174 for the gpu
and for the red side FX-6300 and spare $198 for gpu
You may be better off buying a new intel CPU that takes DDR3 and a motherboard.
&#x200B;
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00KPRWAZQ/?tag=hubacct9792-20
&#x200B;
this CPU is $65 - you will need to dig up the right size intel motherboard but everything else should transfer over. Newegg has some LGA 1150 mobos for $100 but i'll bet ebay is full of them, maybe even some pulls that come with a processor attached.
&#x200B;
the amd cpu is similarly priced, but it's not going to be a major upgrade. neither is an older intel, but it's 2 years newer and should perform faster in gaming.
&#x200B;
anything beyond this and you'll need DDR4 RAM too.
OK, so the price is for Prime members only? What's the problem here? You pay for Prime, you get discounts on things, that's how Prime works. Here are a fuckload more that aren't for Prime members:

AMD Athlon X4 860K Quad-Core 3.7GHz is £57 @amazon, just sayin'. This is the go-to CPU I use on budget builds. Boost clock is 4ghz!
EDIT:
here's my PCMR The Next-Gen Crusher - UK spec @£215.
Depending on your motherboard, you can upgrade to an A10 APU or an Athlon x4, which is an A10 without the integrated GPU portion.
A10-7850K: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00H7Z7YMI
Athlon 860K: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00MU00IOQ
Resubmitted to satisfy rule 5.
> 860k
Do you mean this one? As for £65 I could pick that up quite happily if it helps. To be honest, I don't know what I'm going to stick with. The motherboard and CPU are the things I know need an upgrade and that's the plan. In the perfect world I would then upgrade the CPU after Zen comes out. And yeah, I have a Noctua cooler ready to go so.
Is there a reason why you asked about the FM2+? Is there something to look out for?

Yup your right.
Without knowing your CPU/memory and or financial budget it is hard to say. But you probably want something off this list.
https://pcpartpicker.com/products/motherboard/?compatible_with=ttQRsY#sort=a8&amp;s=14
Personally I would just sell the whole HP desktop on Ebay as some old person will probably buy it for a couple three hundred. Then you can just add that money to the ~$100 you would have spend on a mobo. So you are at about $300-400...add a couple cnotes and you should be able to build a decent rig around that 1050.

or go get a pcmasterrace build kabylake builds (I think the mobo prices are still too high)

i3 6100 would give the best performance for gaming i believe, but it's also right at the top of your budget.

For the performance you want, that's honestly overkill. If your son wants an explanation, please tell him that the games that he plays (Minecraft, League of Legends, Neopets, World of Warcraft) are not that graphics intensive and do not require such a highly-priced PC. Even if you did play graphics-intensive games, you can get the performance you're looking for, for much, much less.
You could put together a killer computer for about $800 or even less.
For starters, you do not need an i7. An i5, or even an i3 will do just fine for those games. Also, you do not need that CPU cooler and just use the stock one since it doesn't seem like you're planning to overclock the CPU.
32 GB of RAM is overkill for any game, regardless of what you're playing. You can get by with just 8GB of RAM, or 16GB just to be safe.
Also, you should probably wait for the GTX 1080 to drop if you're really set on getting it. It's currently way over MSRP due to the lack of stock. If you want to cut the costs a bit, and you want to future-proof the PC, you should try something like the GTX 970 or the new RX 480 after the price drops, and it will play those games perfectly fine.
As for the PSU, it looks like it costs a bit much, but it's good nonetheless. If you don't want to change that, it looks just fine to me.
The motherboard looks pretty good for the price, and the SSD and HDD are just fine as well.
Hope that helps!
EDIT: Sorry for editing the post so much, I realized that I left out a lot that I should've said.
Hey mate, I would highly recommend the Core i3 6100 over the 8350. You may need to buy a new board, but it's definitely faster.
Your PSU might not be enough for a crossfired Rx 480.
I would prioritize the monitor over the ram and rx 480.
psu is absolute garbage
also it was written by someone
>DDR5
who thinks DDR5 exists, which is not a good sign. And if the retailer wrote that then that's really pretty dumb of them.
And the motherboard is on the extreme low end even for an AMD AM3+ board, I can't see the FX 6300 not throttling.
I wouldn't buy that system in a million years.
And you have no case.
https://www.amazon.es/Corsair-CX-CX450M-alimentaci%C3%B3n-certificaci%C3%B3n/dp/B019NWTCEA
This is a far more suitable PSU (ignore all wattages, this has just as much output as that "600W" thing you posted and is a million billion times better in every other way).
https://www.amazon.es/Intel-BX80662I36100-INTEL-I3-6100-2X3-7GHZ/dp/B015VPX2EO
I would get an i3 instead of the 6300
https://www.amazon.es/Intel-H110M-S2H-GA-H110M-S2H-Placa-base/dp/B01649KMZS/r
And DDR4 ram
https://www.amazon.es/Ballistix-Tactical-Memoria-PC4-21300-288-Pin/dp/B013SMKJSO
And for the GPU, an RX 480 or 470 (can't read that language, not sure if it says not in stock or what)
https://www.amazon.es/Sapphire-Radeon-480-Nitro-GDDR5/dp/B01IQS6QE6
Hard drive is fine but you need a case as well.

In case you TL;DR:
AMD is better bang for your buck. Intel is better for cutting-edge. Cutting edge is only relevant to $1500 procs, therefore anything Intel makes that's below AMDs top processor at the time, is basically overpriced.
Basically, the main differences between AMD and Intel are as follows:
AMD:
Cheaper than Intel in basically every facet
Uses 1 physical core per thread (irrelevant unless you're getting a very expensive CPU)
Intel:
Take your example build:
Proc - $117 - No heat sink or water cooling. 2 core, 4 threads
https://www.amazon.com/Intel-i3-6100-Cache-Processor-BX80662I36100/dp/B015VPX2EO
Board $76 - Not a lot to say about the board unless there's something about it you specifically want or like, if it works and supports all the cards and such you'll be needing, a board is a board.
https://www.amazon.com/MSI-Gaming-Skylake-Motherboard-H110M/dp/B01B4U47E4
That's $193, and you get:
Building a cheapo AMD rig:
Proc - $105 - 8 core/8 thread @4.2 GHz - Comes with heat sink and pre-applied thermal paste in my experience.
https://www.amazon.com/AMD-8-Core-FX-8300-Processor-FD8300WMHKBOX/dp/B00TR8YL4W/ref=sr_1_1?s=pc&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1481881649&amp;sr=1-1&amp;keywords=amd+fx+8300
Mobo - $57 - Same as last mobo, if it does what you need it to as per what you're looking for, and fits your case, a mobo is a mobo. Cheapo one for sure.
https://www.amazon.com/Gigabyte-DDR3-Micro-Motherboard-GA-78LMT-USB3/dp/B009FC3YJ8/ref=sr_1_2?s=pc&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1481880866&amp;sr=1-2&amp;keywords=am3%2B+motherboard
That's $162, and you get:
DDR3 ram is also cheaper, which is another thing to think about and price out. AMD doesn't support DDR4 yet, thus using DDR3 still, that intel board requires DDR4. Expect to pay more.
So, in these examples, you can see that you get a lot more for a lot less pretty easy with AMD. I currently have an AMD rig with the FX 8350 in it, which is basically a more stable 8300 with a base speed of 4GHZ instead of 3.3, both can reach 4.2GHz.
I personally rock the 970 Aura by Asus (mobo). It's been great to me, and has some LEDs on it for the extra lookers!
A lot of people have biases towards either product, but my bias for AMD is just because of rational, why pay more for less? I haven't noticed any differences in problem rates with Intel vs AMD, either, it's not like they just make cheap garbage parts ;)
i3 6100
How about this:
https://www.amazon.com/Intel-i3-6100-Cache-Processor-BX80662I36100/dp/B015VPX2EO/ref=sr_1_1?s=pc&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1480139667&amp;sr=1-1&amp;keywords=intel+i3

less than 200 usd...
Just a point to note, the 6100 is slightly cheaper (£105 with another tenner off if you use that code) and has fantastic overclocking
What motherboard do you have? If you have an overclockable one, the i5 7600k is $259 CAD with free shipping from Amazon.ca
You won't be able to change to Ryzen because that requires a socket change as well.
The i5-7600K is currently $45 off, putting it at same price as the Ryzen 5 1600. However, factor in sales tax because Newegg may not charge it for your location while Amazon will (as it is for me). https://www.amazon.com/Intel-i5-7600K-Desktop-Processors-BX80677I57600K/dp/B01MRRPPQS/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1510408494&amp;sr=1-1&amp;keywords=i5+7600k&amp;dpID=411CaHHS7aL&amp;preST=_SY300_QL70_&amp;dpSrc=srch
The i5-7600K has +20% effective speed. The only downside is 2 less cores and 1/3 the number of threads (4). Those specs only really matter when you do things like programming, graphical design, and video production, though. Or if you want to stream. In summary:

The CPU I'm planning on buying
Amazon currently has the 7600k in stock.
And the 7700K
Corsair Vengeance RAM is good, and yes, you'll need to upgrade.

You don't need a whole lot.
4 gb of ram would actually be enough but I'd generally recommend getting 8 as it's not expensive.
A GTX 670 is good enough as well, I ran the game just fine on a 555. So long as it keeps working, may as well run it down until you're set for a full on upgrade to a 1050ti or something.
Your main issue is your processor.
Supreme Commander is more processor heavy than most games (of it's time). You'd probably want something with a clockspeed of at least 3.0Ghz.
I'd recommend the Intel i5-7600k as it's a fairly cheap CPU you won't need to upgrade for a decent while, even if you want to run some better stuff on it.
Just make sure whichever motherboard you get is compatible with the CPU, there's one on the store page linked that you could use with it.
I also don't know what cooling solutions you have, but make sure they're sufficient as you wouldn't want to damage your system.

700watt PSU is completely overkill.
550400-450 will do the trick, and maybe find a Gold 80+ instead of bronze. Why not go with a 7500 intead? It's exactly the same [price after conversion of 201 USD = 263 CAD] (https://www.amazon.com/Intel-BX80677I57500-Core-Desktop-Processors/dp/B01MZZJ1P0/ref=sr_1_1?s=pc&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1484579607&amp;sr=1-1&amp;keywords=i5+7500)Edit: Why not go with a B250 motherboard instead?

S340 Elite Matte Black is my case. I wanted to do H440 because it matches my green look, (my favorite colour) but it was sold out. Might have been discontinued.
I am using a MSI Z170A board with 8gb Ram (will get more, didn't feel like spending so much yet)

Using my old evo 212 cooler until I get that cooler you have for your build.
Your blueprint blows my computer out of the water but mine does the job.
and two 1 TB drive I had from my old build (I don't normally store so much stuff. I uninstall games I stop playing)
I'd like the opinion of my peers here:
I'm upgrading the CPU cooler from the stock cooler so I can take advantage of my i5-7500K (I can't find the K anywhere, but I'm 99% sure it is) and actually overclock the thing so I can actually get 60fps on Assassin's Creed Odyssey. I only get about 45-60fps in that game. I've never overclocked before, so that will be a journey in it of itself.
It's between the Hyper 212 Evo and the be quiet! Dark Rock 4. I have them both up in tabs and am trying to decide. I imagine they run comparably, but the Dark Rock 4 matches my mostly black with some white build better. The Dark Rock 4 is also the recommended cooler by Tom's Hardware, which I like to use as a resource.
I also looked at the Cooler Master MasterAir MA410M but that might be too much RGB for me. Only RGB thing in my build is on my motherboard and it's just like a pulsating red light.
A true first world problem deciding if an all-black cooler is worth an extra $50. But what do you think?
Also, here's the build otherwise:

Edit: I'm second guessing if I can even overclock this CPU. I swear the GeForce Experience thing told me my CPU was an i5-7500K, but those don't seem to exist and the amazon page doesn't tell me if I can overclock. I need to go home and get in front of it and double check.

thank you!
Well, my issue is that he's taking Amazon links which may not always be the lowest price. When actually putting effort to save money by looking at other retailers
Furthermore some of the choices make no logical sense if you were to only shop from Amazon and were deciding what hardware to get.
For example the 7400 makes no logical sense as a 7500 can be had for slightly cheaper.
7400
https://www.amazon.com/Intel-BX80677I57500-Core-Desktop-Processors/dp/B01MZZJ1P0/ref=sr_1_cc_1?s=aps&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1491782463&amp;sr=1-1-catcorr&amp;keywords=7400
7500
https://www.amazon.com/Intel-BX80677I57500-Core-Desktop-Processors/dp/B01MZZJ1P0/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1491783332&amp;sr=8-1&amp;keywords=7500+cpu
Now just imagine how much we could potentially get superior hardware for cheaper if we actually used other retailers.
Also in my mind that mouse and keyboard gives absolutely no value to me. You couldn't pay me to use them. So likely most people who would buy this and are serious about gaming or simply quality products would likely have to buy a mouse and keyboard all over again.
Lastly unless Thermaltake has made progress I was unaware of with their PSUs (feel free to chime in if anyone here is willing to correct me) I wouldn't ever use them for a PSU option.
edit changed the links from me directly going to Amazon and not through his links as I have the feeling he is hiding referals in all of them without informing of such. Anyone with that forehead is not trustworthy.
edit 2 Seems like he also advertises G2A and another similar site so clearly I was right about my judgement about him. I don't even trust him that this wasn't a advertised video at this point.
Consider buying your parts off Amazon - with shipping to Australia is was still cheaper than my local stores.
The Kaby Lake i5-7500 is $3 more expensive than the Skylake i5-6500 so I've ordered a Kaby Lake CPU instead.
Kaby Lake: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01MZZJ1P0/ref=oh_aui_i_sh_post_o0_img?ie=UTF8&amp;psc=1
Skylake: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B010T6CWI2/ref=oh_aui_i_sh_post_o1_img?ie=UTF8&amp;psc=1
If you don't want to overclock and still want a solid quad core and motherboard, you could probably save some money and scale down a bit.
I would recommend at slightly cheaper 7500: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01MZZJ1P0/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1493079388&amp;sr=8-1&amp;pi=AC_SX236_SY340_QL65&amp;keywords=intel+i5+cpu+7th+gen&amp;dpPl=1&amp;dpID=51XrkNI7q%2BL&amp;ref=plSrch
It's a very similar CPU for 30 less and comes with the only CPU cooler you'd need and will also allow your 1070 to stretch its legs.
I'd also change the motherboard to a cheaper:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01N4LCX2D/ref=pd_aw_sim_147_3?ie=UTF8&amp;psc=1&amp;refRID=9AKNKZ6TPFCK4CAMX5G1&amp;dpPl=1&amp;dpID=81TTTSvch5L
No need to spend twice as much on the one you picked that has the same features and only looks a little better.
Can't find a g4560 in any online stores; saw this and a tear rolled down my cheek...
https://www.amazon.ca/INTEL-PENTIUM-Processor-FC-LGA14C-Retail/dp/B01NCE8T92/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1487458497&amp;sr=8-1&amp;keywords=g4560
No. It costs ₹18k on amazon.
e: shorter link
e2: It is cheaper now. ₹5900.
So there's a few things with this.
Firstly, you're not going to be able to get a great gaming PC for $400. You'll be able to play stuff with it but don't come into this expecting super max graphics ;)
As far as your PC parts go, so long as you feel your HDD is OK, that's the only thing to keep for a new build. That being said, if you're currently using it as the main OS drive for your current PC, consider doing a clean OS install onto the drive when you build the new one, assuming you have any important things backed up etc. first.
CPU: Intel G4560 ($70)
GPU: RX 460 ($90)
Motherboard: ASRock B250M Pro4 ($74)
RAM: 8GB DDR4 ($55)
PSU: [Seasonic S12II 520W](https://www.amazon.com/Seasonic-S12II-520-BRONZE-SS-520GB /dp/B00390P1NO/) ($45)
Case: HAF 912 ($60)
Total Cost: $394
Just using mostly Amazon and Newegg for you. Keep an eye on pricing, I've quoted full prices yet these parts do have rebates on from time to time, which could save you more money :)
So my main choices for the parts was based like this. Firstly, you're not going to get a better CPU without spending another $50 onto the i3 7100. Because of the choice in CPU, the RX 460 is the best performance for the price. You could spend more onto a more powerful GPU but you're not going to see the benefit with that CPU. Motherboard is a modern board for the current Intel chipset, so you should be comfortably able to get upgrades for this for a good number of years to come. As part of that, I've given you a single 8GB stick of DDR4, leaving you plenty of free slots on the board to upgrade your RAM in the future. DO NOT USE YOUR OLD RAM. The PSU is powerful enough to be able to handle bigger CPU and GPU's if you want to do bigger upgrades to those in the future and the HAF 912 case gives you plenty of flexibility for size and design internally to cover that too.
All told, that's about as good as you're going to be able to do for $400.
First suggested upgrades would be to spend around $50 on a SSD to use as an OS boot drive to make the system a little bit more snappy. Next upgrade would be for a more powerful CPU some point down the line, followed by GPU.
> pentium g4560
Are you talking about this one: https://www.amazon.com/Intel-BX80677G4560-Pentium-Desktop-Processors/dp/B01NCE8T92/
Seems very cheap. Can you run other games at 1080p Ultra as well? With good (>60fps) as well?
Depends on what kind of settings you want for your games - Low, medium, high, ultra? Your current build will play most games on medium.
If you're tight on budget help yourself out with an Intel Pentium. Saves you ~$50. Use that extra cash to buy an SSD in lieu of an IHD (if storage isn't a primary concern) and possibly an additional 8GB RAM. Do your research but that should add a nice kick to your build without spending extra cash. Also, you'll have a more up to date system with the SSD and external HD are cheap. :P

I would change the gtx 750ti for a 1050 if I was in your shoes. Maybe you could also change that i3 to a cheaper pentium, you won't even need a cooler the stock one will serve you for a while > https://www.amazon.it/Intel-Pentium-Kaby-Lake-G4560/dp/B01NCE8T92/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1521975310&amp;sr=8-1&amp;keywords=intel+pentium+g4560+3.5ghz
If you do this changes you could afford an ssd for the operative system and maybe a 1050ti if you are not restricted by the budget.
NP. But look at the price tag here.

Is this g processor worth 11k? Hell no. But this is Amazon and this processor is not available anywhere else. This is why I changed my initially chosen g processor to i3. Now I admit I could have gone for Ryzen processor or i5, but I got lazy as the OP is not giving details.
All my local shops are selling it at 100$+ and on Amazon.in it is now 200$
For the us market it is going for 82$ on Amazon. Com
and is listed for 78$ on newegg(but is out of stock there)

Not sure where you are getting your information from, but that is the whole point of the X series SKUs. They are binned higher and feature XFR for auto-overclocking. The non-X SKUs are still unlocked multipliers but do NOT have the Extended Frequency Range auto-overclocking feature that the X SKUs DO.
Here's a few sources, including a couple that were in attendance at today's event.
https://www.kitguru.net/components/cpu/luke-hill/kitguru-amd-event-ryzen-7-cpus-set-to-hit-intel-pricing-hard/
"That ‘X’ prefix denotes support for eXtended Frequency Range (XFR) which allows a number of the CPU’s cores to operate at up to 1 multiplier bin higher if thermal and power threshold budgets are not saturated"
"Ryzen 7 1700 – 8 cores, 16 threads, 3.0GHz base speed, 3.7GHz boost speed, no XFR support, 65W TDP, $329 USD, £319.99 OCUK price."
Techreport, who was also in attendance at the event today and went home with review samples lists these specs as part of what was announced at the event.
https://techreport.com/news/31471/amd-eight-core-16-thread-chips-lead-the-ryzen-charge
Model | Cores | Threads | Base Clock | Boost Clock | XFR | TDP | Price
------|---|----|----|----|----|----|----
Ryzen 1800X | 8 | 16 | 3.6GHz | 4.0GHz | Yes | 95W | $499
Ryzen 1700X | 8 | 16 | 3.4GHz | 3.8GHz | Yes | 95W | $399
Ryzen 1700 | 8 | 16 | 3.0GHz | 3.7GHz | No | 65W | $329
"The X in the product name (in this and other models) denotes the presence of the XFR technology (eXtended Frequency Range), allowing you to reach even higher frequencies in the presence of adequate cooling. XFR is just one of the technologies SenseMI" -> translated from: https://www.tomshw.it/ryzen-7-1800x-1700x-e-1700-specifiche-e-prestazioni-83576 in regards to information released by AMD at today's event.
All of this is from those who attended and official AMD specs released today. There is no question about it, that is literally what the "X" in the SKU denotes. XFR. This is all just a matter of hours old information, not "last week". You mention you take what people who attended have to say as priority, which of course makes sense. Only problem is that it is the exact opposite of what you're saying.
Also, the pre-order listings on sites like Amazon make this clear. For instance,
1800X: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06W9JXK4G, clearly lists XFR on the product page
1700X: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06X3W9NGG, clearly lists XFR on the product page
1700: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06WP5YCX6, does not list XFR on the product page
On OCUK's product pages as well, XFR is listed as a spec on only the 1800X and 1700X product pages:
1800X: https://www.overclockers.co.uk/amd-ryzen-7-eight-core-1800x-4.00ghz-socket-am4-processor-retail-cp-39v-am.html
1700X: https://www.overclockers.co.uk/amd-ryzen-7-eight-core-1700x-3.80ghz-socket-am4-processor-retail-cp-39w-am.html

I only welected the one sold directly by amazon or managed by them, if you're willing to go with Amazon marketplace there's a 1800X for 432€ and a 1600X for 236€.
They seem to be pretty close to most of the european prices.
My question regarding the X version is what to pick when I already have a Corsair 280mm AIO.
And 1700x is $252. (Note: No stock cooler.)
Bruh cheapest 1080 in the US is $470 that too on Amazon without sale, going by the ₹65 for a dollar gives about 42% markup, the model you mentioned is about $510 which is about 32% markup. Also 43k is the absolute lowest the price goes here whereas they have sales dropping the prices very low.
Also Ryzen currently is at 25%-35%markup depending on the model(lowest was 1700x at 24%).
The Titan Xp is at about 67% markup (didn't check the year so correct me if I'm wrong)
And also the cheapest 1080 is the mini one, which has clock speed a few mghz higher than fe so if I want something better like more cooling or higher clock speeds and not just the bare minimum I have to shill out 60k to 70k for the Asus ones or even the fe whereas the same card is sold around $550 at newegg which comes with forhonor or ghost recall wildlands free (both worth $60) so while that guy was wrong about the 100% markup you were also being disingenuous with that 43k figure and 18% markup .

Since you ll have to change motherboard anyway why not go Ryzen, https://www.amazon.com/AMD-Ryzen-1700X-Processor-YD170XBCAEWOF/dp/B06X3W9NGG this thing outclasses the 8700k in rendering for half the price, doesnt need delidding and motherboard is cheaper, plus you ll get acess to the next generation of Ryzen, so unless you play at 1080p, older games, or stuff like SC2 go Ryzen

Problems with Ram/ Asus Strix B350/ 1600x/Gtx 1070
Just the other day I upgraded to a 1600x and Some new ram.
Everything works fine, except the ram is stuck at 1064MHz when it should be running at 2666MHz. I've tried changing the values in the Bios/ updating the bios. However, I've had zero success. Any help would be appreciated.

It'd cost about $400 to bring your PC to a current and upgradable state.
$120 for a Ryzen 3 1200
$120 for a GTX 1050
$100 for 8GB DDR4 (check motherboard RAM list!)
$60 for a 350 series MicroATX motherboard. I recommend MSI, ASRock, or ASUS. I've had problems with Gigabyte, most notably their garbage RMA process.
That's my recommendation.

Maybe look into this, I have a Ryzen and the price to performance is impeccable. It is only a few dollars more expensive than the g4560 and will benefit your video editing more and gaming due to it having 4 cores over the G4560's 2

If you have an Intel Mobo then go with an i5

and get a aftermarket cooler.
>Ironic you should say that after suggesting the i5 8400
Read the topic, the reason I said this is becuase the guy mentioned buying the 2600X and he is already thinking about the upgrade to zen2, but since he says he bought the 2600X due to pricing, none of it makes sense and I argued why.
> SMT and so you're looking at 6c/12t, which is going to absolutely destroy the i5 8400 in any other situation.
Not in CAD, or 3DSMAX, or video editing using quicksync.
How about an 8600k for £238.66 & FREE Delivery in the UK.
Good luck, you keep buying your cpus due to MOAR CORES and running cinebench over and over and ill just look at the performance of the software I use, or in this context, what the person actually said they were going to use it for. If I were only gaming even the 7700k would be a better buy against a ryzen.
I would suggest upgrading your CPU next especially since you're already running a 1060.
Suggest an i5 8600k which goes great with the 1060

It’s more like a 70 dollar difference between the two. And you’d have to get an aftermarket cooler for both of them because the 8700 is going to get uncomfortably hot under the stock cooler and paste. And if you get a b360 motherboard you’ll be stuck with 2666mhz ram while you can get a decent Samsung B-die here for the same price or less than lower quality ram and overclock it to around 3600 cl14 and tighten the timings and create a huge gap in gaming performance over the 8700 with a decent overclock on the 8600k.

Here's a Ryzen 2400G build I put together real quick. Don't know if you need a case or like the one I picked, so go for whatever there.
PCPartPicker doesn't have the 2400G listed yet so I used the $169.99 pricepoint from Amazon.
Also went out of my way to find a B350 motherboard with 4x DIMM slots so that you can expand to 16GB eventually (4GBx4).

If you are intent to build and want to stay under $500, then the best option is below. The Ryzen 5 2400G is AMD's new CPU with integrated Vega graphics slated for release on 12 February. Look at the reviews at that time and see if this is right for you. The video below gives you some idea of what to expect, but again wait for the official reviews before making your final decision.

Yes, as long as a motherboard for that AMD CPU doesn't cost much more than the one you've chosen for the Intel chip. I'd also suggest spending $20 more and getting the 3400G instead of the 3200G to get the symmetric multithreading. I've tested the 3400G and its performance is quite good.
>DDR4 still costs a lot
16gb of performance RAM can be had for as little as $100
>you need to buy an SSD, HDD, the PSU, all the other items
A 500gb SSD (almost twice the storage of shadow) can be had for $50 and a PSU can literally be as cheap as you're willing to risk paying
Add in a $130 dollar Ryzen Processor, a cheap PC case and Motherboard and you've got an entirely better System (sans the GPU) for a grand total of $450. With the massive price drops of GPUs coming this month, you can add one of your choice and have it all for $800- $900, and that's all brand new hardware. If you were to buy used, you could build for hundreds less.
So no, you're wrong. It's not anywhere near $2000. Not even by half.
No it’s not? 165 vs. 160. And it’s not a sale if it’s been at $165 for over 2 months.
2600
2400g
Don’t act condensing if you don’t know what you’re talking about.
You could kill 2 birds with one stone and get a Ryzen iGPU which would be both a substantial upgrade in graphical and CPU performance.

depending on what kind of games you play, you could look at the newest Ryzen 5 APUs -- the 2400
https://www.amazon.com/AMD-Ryzen-Processor-Radeon-Graphics/dp/B079D8FD28/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1520014463&amp;sr=8-1&amp;keywords=ryzen+5+2400g&amp;dpID=31004JtpdTL&amp;preST=_SX300_QL70_&amp;dpSrc=srch
170$ will get you a CPU and GPU that can run Rainbowsix Siege at 60FPS. Can't sneeze at that
can always upgrade to a dedicated GPU later when the prices come back down. I have a Ryzen 5 (prior to the APUs) and I've been loving the performance for the price.....
edit: some more info on the APUs http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/digitalfoundry-2018-ryzen-3-2200-g-ryzen-5-2400g-review
AMD saco hace poco unas APU, cpu ryzen con gpu que dicen es como una 1030 y no se si se llega a comparar con una 1050(creo que no). Y no son nada caras. Te traes una y ya tenes CPU y GPU.
Edito aca tienen, es como tener una GT 1030 que es lo mas basico, pero ta te permite jugar igual:

(ignore this if your getting the mobo i linked) make sure the mobo you get is one of the z390's so you can OC that bad boy and get even more performance, and if you get the nh-d15 you'll be able to hit a nice OC while keeping temps low
A great budget gpu is the GTX 1050 ti(~$220) and a good CPU is an i5-8600k(~$275). These are budget items and if youre not on a budget maybe bump the GPU up to the $350 RTX 2060. This one runs as fast as a 1070 ti and has raytracing cores
so it can handle the new raytracing pack that's coming out for you want to try that.I5-8600k: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07HHLX1R8/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_zat3CbP7VQ4YM

1050ti is weaker than your 1060
Imo your best option for now would be to buy a new cpu, a new motherboard, 16gb ram and a cpu cooler (assuming you don't have one
And when you can, upgrade your gpu.
I'm assuming your case etc.. is fine

Im sorry. I know im posting here for the 5th time but heres a config from amazon uk i think is nice. Id say you can just get a 480 gb kingston ssd for a bit more money. The kingston ones are on sale.Just dont change out the gpu. for this pricepoint this is the best thing right now since its a rtx 2060 on sale for 330 pounds. The ideal thing you could do is just buy the parts some of us reccomended from america since electronics in europe are much more expensive. Promise i wont bother you anymore.
Might want to be weary of changing brands. Given he uses an intel processor and an Nvidia graphics card, he might not be a fan of AMD. The best and safest CPU you can get in that price range is an i7 9700k. It’s a higher tier than his processor and a solid 3 generations newer.

He can use the same RAM, power supply, and graphics card. We also don’t know if he already had an SSD. Upgrading the drive might be futile, plus it won’t help lag in most games anyway. The only other thing you would need is a new motherboard. Something like this would be more than enough and still within your price range:

Primary components were:
For a while I actually had bad airflow in my case, and it still ran most games at 120 FPS. Once I started playing APEX and MW more, I had some frame drops due to thermal throttling. I realized I had poor airflow in my case, and ended up fixing it.
Now it works like a charm. Love this setup.

" By name and by marketing (and original MSRP), the i5 CPU is most comparable to the R5 CPUs. The R5 2600’s current $160 price-point makes it a less direct comparison, and the 2600X, which would perform about where an overclocked 2600 performs, is about $220. This is also cheaper, but still closer to compare. Even closer is the R7 2700, which is $270 normally (or ~$250 during current sales). This is the closest comparison.
We would favor an i7-8700K if you must go Intel – like for systems with the highest refresh rate possible – while staying below the price of the i9-9900K. We would favor an R7 2700 in heavily-threaded applications or games which are more dependent upon threads than the mean (e.g. Far Cry 5). The 9600K is still often superior in raw framerate, but does suffer frametime consistency hits in games like Far Cry 5. In those instances, it would be a worse experience insofar as its consistency of frame delivery. In the other games we tested, the 9600K holds a lead in gaming performance. It also suffers in Blender, the side-effect of fewer cores, making the R7 a better choice for anyone legitimately using the heavy multithreading in tile-based rendering applications. If you’re just gaming, the 9600K is often better – but not always, and that inconsistency is the key to our inability to offer a firm recommendation. We’d favor an i7-8700K (if budget can stretch) for pure gaming workloads, but the i5-9600K and R7 2700 choice requires more nuance. For anyone working with Blender in addition to gaming, the R7 2700 is a better choice. For pure gaming, the 9600K is “better” in most the games we tested, but that frametime inconsistency in some games causes us to hesitate.
The i5 remains hard to justify, even with its two-core increase. Intel remains the best option for gaming-only builds in the i7 class, but struggles to prove consistent value in the i5 class. That’s a problem – if the value is inconsistent, it is sometimes better to opt for a more consistent (if sometimes weaker) alternative, if only because the experience is then predictable."
&#x200B;
This is literally GN's conclusion
I would stay with Intel if you have been happy with it. If it aint broke dont fix it. Go on amazon and buy a i5 proc for around $200. Always best bang for your buck.

I'd go for a GTX 1660 and a new i5.

I'd recommend spending about $80 more on your CPU and getting an i5-9600K.
If that's a little too much, maybe spend $30-$40 more on the RAM and get 2x8 so you have 16GB. Here's an example.
>Intel Core i3-8350K 4 GHz Quad-Core Processor $196.49 @ Amazon
You're crazy, if you pay that much for that CPU. What makes me say that?:

Not sure if that's on the slower side? Also aren't the 6600K and the 9600K both an LGA1151 chipset?

CPU CPU cooler Motherboard and Case
The way I suggest the Case is 2 variables, included fans and size. Since you are not overclocking, 2 fans are good enough. The Cooler Master 212 is one of the more popular coolers of all time. I suggest the 9600k so you could upgrade your gpu and not have to upgrade your cpu.
What is the difference between this and this? PCpartpicker does not show the first one and the second one is apparently a new model, but what makes it a $20 difference?
Still going back and forwards with part for my upgrade and getting confused

go with the 9600k or 8400 if they're compatible
For CPU, I’d personally go for the Ryzen 5 3600 for $195. If you’re set on intel, get the i5 9600K at $200. It is superb for gaming. Note that if you plan to switch to Ryzen, you’ll have to get a different motherboard.

thoughts on this? https://pcpartpicker.com/list/r3GDLJ Cpu might be too much. Would this work? https://www.amazon.com/Intel-i5-9600K-Desktop-Processor-Unlocked/dp/B07HHLX1R8/ref=sr_1_3?crid=1ND5PJZNXXDZ7&amp;keywords=i5-9600k&amp;qid=1555143903&amp;s=gateway&amp;sprefix=i5-9600K%2Caps%2C183&amp;sr=8-3
Lots of people have the right idea: Everything needs to be replaced. What you have is a mid-ranged computer--10 years ago. It is outperformed by even a cheap pre-built from Best Buy these days.
But completely building a computer from scratch is pricey, so you can do it partially piecemeal.
Motherboard/Processor/RAM
Unfortunately, you need to do all three in one go. If you replace any one part, you'll find incompatibility. New processor? Won't work with your motherboard. New motherboard? Won't work with your RAM. New RAM? Back to not working with your motherboard.
The current mid-range is the Intel i5-9600k. Surprisingly, because older ones are discontinued, it's actually cheaper to buy a 9th gen vs an 8th gen in most places.
You're going to need a fancy new motherboard to support the 9th gen chipset. I recommend something like the Prime Z390-P. The -P runs a little hotter due to more basic heatsink, and is missing some extra ports. Neither will present an issue. The cheaper Z370 will run 9th gen chips, but it requires jumping through a lot of hoops, and for the minuscule difference in price, just go with the one that works out of the box.
From that, you need a CPU fan, as the i5-9600k does not come with one. I won't bother recommending one, as there are dozens if not hundreds and they all do about the same thing for the same price. Note the price difference when adding a bunch of flashy LEDs.
The same goes for RAM. You want 16GB DDR4, as high speed as you can afford, but the exact options don't matter too much. It's all basically rebranding from the same few chip manufacturers anyway.
All told, this will run you about $600. Feel free to stop and give your wallet a break.
Power Supply
Your next step isn't actually your Video Card. It's your power supply.
Your current Power Supply will almost certainly be enough to run this new stuff; power requirements have actually gone down. I recommend this next because your current one is at least 9 years old, and that's pushing the limit it's lifespan. Chances are, if you never upgrade it, you'll be fine. But if something does go wrong, poof, all your fancy new parts.
Video Card
Last. Your card is oooooollllllldddddd, but for GW2, upgrading it will provide the least difference. There will be a difference*, but not nearly as dramatic as replacing the 3 parts above. I "sprung" for a 1080, but the cheaper 1060 is fine.
I just upgraded from a 760 to a 2070 and replaced my motherboard and CPU. I went with the Intel Core i5-9600K and a MSI MPG Z390 Gaming PRO Carbon LGA1151 and my gaming experience since the upgrade has been phenomenal.
The AMD or the Intel chips?
Intel don't go on sale super often and tend to stick pretty close to msrp.
the numbers listed for the intel chips above are actually all lower than the average prices for the chips over the last while.
9600k, 9700k, 9900k - in the price of the i7 the price in the chart is actually lower than the lowest price on amazon
edit: based on a quick bpcsales seems like the prices may be reflections of the best sales prices over the last month or so, most in the last 4 days - whereas previously they'd not been on sale.
So the American price doesnt include 2 things
With shipping your amazon prime wont get you free shipping as amazon.com is a seperate entity from amazon.co.uk.
with import tax, amazon will charge you import fees, so all in all if the american price is cheaper it wont be by much but in most cases it will work out more expensive.
&#x200B;
ive included a link as an example

&#x200B;
as you can see, the price is discounted from $410 to $350, thats £285... then you have to play $80.07 (£71) so you are paying in total £356.
on scan.co.uk
https://www.scan.co.uk/products/intel-core-i7-9700-s-1151-coffee-lake-refresh-8-core-8-thread-30ghz-47ghz-turbo-12mb-1200mhz-gpu-65w?gclid=Cj0KCQjwwIPrBRCJARIsAFlVT8-6SeY5se4Vi6B5Zo4RORqKN6a6HYVYNXQZQmpMLfWKZl0FNs4029caAnbuEALw_wcB
the price is £346. so its £10 cheaper to get it in the UK or
https://www.ebuyer.com/859395-intel-core-i7-9700k-3-6-ghz-processor-bx80684i79700k?gclid=Cj0KCQjwwIPrBRCJARIsAFlVT89HB1J9NUBBt2Jm1inkYFS-GIAnlGHntADDLROiTzZhwaes6bzZmZQaAkfQEALw_wcB
which is £375.00 which is £20 more expensive.
&#x200B;
also, keep in mind that with the Uk suppliers, if you need to send it back to get replaced, you are not paying international shipping
&#x200B;
anyway, i hope this helps
Figured I'd post these here instead of creating another post...
I already have a case, powersupply, drives and video card. I don't care about overclocking, so would this setup be good:

I'm going with an MSI Z390 Gaming Edge AC for my build I'm working on. I think they have one without the AC that's cheaper if you don't need wireless internet. I've heard that MSI has the best BIOS of any mobo manufacturer, so that's my logic. It also supports Wi-Fi 6, bluetooth, and any other bells and whistles you could want for gaming. And it's pretty reasonably priced as well!

I’m not much of a Ryzen guy so I don’t know much about Ryzen.
on amazon, that combo comes out to 529 USD or 765 aud
that's pretty much under ops budget
Mobo: Aorus Elite
CPU: i7 9700K
&#x200B;
also the r5 3600 won't be able to the most out of the 2080ti, the 9700K can
Yeah, my old Mobo was bottlenecking my ram quite a bit, speeds should go up over 1500 MHz with the new one.The ram I currently have already is DDR4 (bought it while keeping in mind I'd be upgrading mobo less than a year later).
I ended up getting a Gigabyte Z390 M Gaming motherboard with an Intel Core i7-9700k 3.6GHz 8-Core processor.
Since it didn't come with a cooler, I also got a Noctua NH-L12S CPU cooler.
Mobo is the same size as my old one (just to be doubly sure it will fit in my case), and the cooler is a smaller air cooler that will fit in my case.
I'm hoping to see noticable performance improvements after I install these next week.
Holy crap, thanks so much dude! I honestly mean it, It's nice to know that I can get help on this reddit when it comes to PC building, I wasn't sure because after attempting to build find the specs for building my own PC I was worried they wouldn't work etc, so I went to look at other peoples specs but they didn't include their full builds and stuff. So I'm happy that there are people who can help on here. Also, the money spent still fits nicely into my price range so that's also good :)
just to confirm, I'm going to buy most of this off amazon for the most part, with the CPU is this okay: CPU as long as I buy thermal paste separately?
Again thank you so much for the recommendations and information!

Which is a little more expensive. Up to you, both those CPUs will run your game at max when paired with your 1080

it says intel, so I guess it's legit.
Intel Core i7 9700K 3.6GHz Octa Core LGA1151 CPU https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07HHN6KBZ/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_jq56BbSZJC7W9
Are you sure those numbers are right?
Amazon India has the 9700K at about 35k.
Which would mean your friend is getting it for ~15k, or the equivalent of ~$210?
If so, that's an incredibly good deal. I'd totally go for it.
AMD processors are good for balance, Intel is good for gaming. (You can still stream very well with intel, I highly prefer intel because all their processors are amazing.
Nvidea or evga for GPU'S. (They're the best at making graphics cards)
MSI for the motherboard, Always MSI, MSI is the best at making motherboards. (There are a lot of brands that make motherboards but nothing will beat MSI in my opinion.
If you want to spend a little more you can get this.
I built a good pc that's 916$ all together. (These part's are just for building the computer tower)

This was my first PC build.
Impressions on this build?
I play new games and want all the FPS and expect to use the pc probably for atleast 5 years.
Updated with Intel processor and motherboard, instead of 2700x. Likely going to go with these. Thoughts appreciated.
Any thoughts on mobo choices?

Thanks!
Alright Ill give you two options an amd and an intel option. The intel will be better for most games in the current year and probably for some time, but it will also be more expensive.
INTEL CPU, MOBO, RAM, COOLER , €740.67AMD CPU, The tomahawk max ( I cant link it because It cant be bought in US yet), RAM, COOLER €559.88
The cooler is largely my preference and I would only highly recommend that you use it on 9700k, you could get away with something cheaper on the 3600. If you are planning doing anything like streaming/recording, or using editors that aren't PS you should probably go for an amd chip. The amd chip is obviously significantly cheaper, but I think that its also probably the better deal, that said.If you are purely gaming go with the 9700k to really get the performance that you want for now and the coming years.
Well... I have been meaning to build a new desktop and an Intel i7 sounds pretty good right now :)

Hot off the press lads.
If anyone is desperate, Amazon U.K. has the 3800x in stock; I priced it out as £ 342, which should be somewhere in the neighbourhood of $560-$565. Too much of a premium for my liking, and it'd be a gong show trying to deal with any return issues, but thought someone out there might want to jump on it.

ShopBLT is legit, but note the fine print:
>This item is ordered from the manufacturer as needed. After you place your order, we will order it from the manufacturer. When it arrives into our warehouse, usually within 15 business days, we will fill your order and ship it to you.
That's also the tray SKU. You probably want the retail boxed version. However, those shipments are not expected to begin arriving to ShopBLT's warehouses until at least the end of the month.
If you want to get a 3800X before then, your best bet is to set up a notification alert on Now In Stock. However, be aware that NIS appears to be linking to the wrong Amazon product page. This is the correct one.
Alternatively, you can just buy a 3700X right now with Prime two-day shipping. It's actually so similar to the 3800X that the price premium for the latter is not easy to justify.
Thanks mate - a very interesting idea!
The difference in AMD vs Intel, price-wise, is not too big. I just checked and
Ryzen 3800x is £365 on Amazon
Intel I9 is £450 on Amazon
I think I can bridge the £90 gap. You advice, nonetheless, is very useful and puts things in perspective.
AMD Ryzen 5 2600 $ 119
AMD Ryzen 7 3800X 8-Core - $ 380
AMD Ryzen 5 3600X 6-Core - $ 235
i purchased my 3700x 2 weeks ago as i have been getting the parts bit by bit. i dont exactly need to go cheaper if i dont want too my budget is flexible
sucks tho cause the 3800x is on sale on amazon for 370$

This 3800x is on a pretty good sale with 2 free games of Borderlands 3 and Outerworlds as well as 3 months of Xbox game pass. I picked up this deal on the Aorus elite mobo from newegg. Here is their RAM compatibility list for the mobo as well. Hope this helped :).
I keep trying to post this but every time I do it it viewed by the rest of the reddit as deleted. So I have no idea what to do!
Have you read the sidebar and rules? (Please do)
Yes.
What is your intended use for this build? The more details the better.
I plan on starting up a YouTube channel for League of Legends and a few other online games like Starcraft II and Overwatch.
If gaming, what kind of performance are you looking for? (Screen resolution, FPS, game settings)
I want at the very least 720p with a very stable 60 fps for league at medium settings the least, but would prefer to have setting pumped to max.
What is your budget (ballpark is okay)?
My budget is $500-$525 (taxes and OS included)
In what country are you purchasing your parts?
United States
Post a draft of your potential build here (specific parts please). Consider formatting your parts list. Don't ask to be spoonfed a build (read the rules!).

Provide any additional details you wish below.
I really only want this build to be able to run League of Legends and also be able to record with no drop in FPS or in setting. My goal is to have it on high settings as well. I am a big newbie at computer building so this is a pre-build that I want to use because it is cheap. If you have any suggestions that I should change a part out or if I forgot something let me know, I'm only running 8gbs of ram but I might want to run 16 if it will help the recording while playing. Also another question, can I mix ram? Two different ram sticks of different brands? My guess is no but if someone could tell me that would be great. I already have a SSD that I'm going to have installed also but didn't put in the build.
Side note I do no know how to choose the OS. I want to go with Windows 7 but everywhere I look it's about $100, any solution to this would be great thanks.

If your cpu is this one: http://www.amazon.com/AMD-Athlon-Edition-3700Mhz-AD860KXBJABOX/dp/B00MU00IOQ
I don't see AD860KXBJABOX in the list.
Yeah the 860k is a solid little processor. Just pair it with an FM2+ motherboard like this one and you're good to go!
Mobo
CPU
It has a 4 and a 8 pin connector that are fastened as tight as I could get them.
Awesome, thank you! I think I'm deciding on this http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00MU00IOQ/?tag=pcpapi-20
Processor instead, will this http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131795 motherboard work with it?
I use an X4 860k and I've been impressed with it. I tried it transcoding 2 x 1080p, 3 x 720p (4 internal and 1 external). Various devices: XBOX, Galaxy S5, Fire TV, Laptop, PC.
Worked fine for 10-20 minutes then I stopped them as I was satisfied.
Unfortunately not compatible with your motherboard.
so if i invest in something like
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00MU00IOQ/?tag=pcpapi-20
would that be compatible with everything and will run properly with my hardware and improve performance a lot. and does it make a difference in the type of thermal paste i get? the last thing i want is to get it and have to send it back because it doesnt work
I need a price check on:
Thanks in advance!
So I want to upgrade my pc and I have $175 here are my specs

I bought it for around $90, and I thought it ran cheaper now, but its at $87 on amazon now. http://smile.amazon.com/AMD-Athlon-Black-3700Mhz-AD860KXBJABOX/dp/B00MU00IOQ/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1451936669&amp;sr=8-1&amp;keywords=athlon+x4
if you want to stay on your socket the best that you can get is the Athlon 860K and overclock it or even try that route with the APU you already have, with a proper OC it should handle the 1050ti decently but you will be set back in CPU heavy games .
the best way to get out of it is getting a standard GTX 1050 and a decent air cooling for your APU to OC it.
What about going with an AMD quad core instead of the FX? Don't some newer games have minimums of 4 cores?

I went with this it's a little better than an i5 processor for cheaper. And it overclocks like crazy. I've had no need to overclock mine yet and I stream, record and have multiple applications running at once. My GPU I went with the cheapest one that can still run everything I want it to which I will upgrade soon. I have the EVGA gtx 950. It can handle pretty much anything I give it. GTA V max settings, BF4 max settings at around 80-90 frames. It's a good first build for the price I paid.
Amd CPU, fm2+ Socket, 4 core budget processor clocked at 3.7ghz, if you need anymore information heres a direct link to the processor
https://www.amazon.co.uk/d/Processors/AMD-Athlon-Quad-Core-Desktop-Processor/B00MU00IOQ
I see in your other comment that you're getting a gtx 750 ti in a few months. I used to have a build with that card before I swapped for better parts. I had an AsRock FM2A88M Pro3+ mobo and an Anthlon X4 860k. That should fit your budget.
thanks for posting this. I've been researching about a 4k htpc and couldn't figure out which processor to use.
What do you think about AMD Athlon X4 860K?
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00MU00IOQ/ref=ox_sc_sfl_title_3?ie=UTF8&amp;psc=1&amp;smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER
its cheaper and it has about 1.5k higher passmark score than the pentium g4520
Ok, first, it's a strange idea to bet on a I5 and NVIDIA when you're stretched by a very small budget since ATI and AMD are way cheapers, and not worst.
Anyway, i tried to build something very nice from Amazon, which is an other strange idea because if Amazon is really nice for his customer support, he's not as good as you may think to buy at smallest costs. In France (i'm french, by the way), you should really take a looks at large online supermarkets like CDiscount, etc.
Thus, there's the result. I provided you the link to your goods, on Amazon.fr and Amazon.de. Sadly, you didn't included Amazon.es or Amazon.it, they're cheaper for the CPU and the RAM.

I'm upgrading soon (from a Core2Duo!) to [this Skylake i3] (https://www.amazon.com/Intel-BX80662I36100-i3-6100-Cache-Processor/dp/B015VPX2EO?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=logicaincrem-20). I was doing some reading and people say that all LGA 115x slots use the same mounting scheme, so if a heat sink works with an LGA 1156 for example, it should work with LGA 1151.
My issue right now is I'm thinking about cleaning and re-using my old heat sink, which is this Thermaltake TT-8085A and is compatible with LGA 1156.
So, my question is, is this a good idea or should I just buy a new heatsink?

Don't buy another AMD processor.
Go with an i3-6100 and pick out a motherboard from here, you can easily keep that under 200 GBP and still use the rest of your components.
I like it, but could use some tweaking. The gpu is not necessary, I'd rather save $100 and use onboard graphics; all of my other computers that I built have 3 monitors with no GPU and no lag/stutter. I also think 16gb of RAM is a requirement as chrome uses so much ram and considering its' price it is most likely money well spent. Also, the harddrive is probably not necessary either I don't think.
This is the current CPU that I am using and really enjoy (https://www.amazon.com/Intel-i3-6100-Cache-Processor-BX80662I36100/dp/B015VPX2EO). Is the one you linked better in terms of performance?
Thanks for your help!
Edit: Here is the SSD I got for $38 back in june of 2016 (ADATA USA Premier SP550 120GB 2.5" SATA III Solid State Drive ASP550SS3-120GM-C). Not sure as to why the price is higher now than it was before, but surely there must be a black friday deal for a 120gb ssd?
+1 Rep. Thanks. I had shortlisted the i3 6100 + MSI H110M Pro. Comes up to the same and has more features. Im guessing the 6100 is better than the 4150.

Shit :C so that's some crappy news, thanks so much for your help though.
I've just had a Google around (and had a play with System Requirements Lab) - I'm not too bothered about playing it on the laptop, but once the new computer arrives i might look at upgrading the CPU.
Do you think something like this would be suitable?
https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B015VPX2EO/ref=asc_df_B015VPX2EO36151504?smid=A3P5ROKL5A1OLE&amp;tag=hawk-future-21&amp;linkCode=df0&amp;creative=22206&amp;creativeASIN=B015VPX2EO&amp;ascsubtag=hawk-402971560-21
Doesn't look like it comes with one.
Best GPU in that price range is probably the rx 460. It'll run all those games easily at med/high settings 60 fps. However you should really get a new motherboard and CPU because I imagine a 10 year old CPU will bottleneck any current card hard, even a low end one.
It would cost about $160 but a core i3 and motherboard like this would run great.
Well I've already fucked up. This is what I've found:

And by 'external cooling' I mean additional fans.
the standard version comes with the intel cooler (the basic one)
as you can see [here] (https://www.amazon.com/Intel-i3-6100-Cache-Processor-BX80662I36100/dp/B015VPX2EO) , look at "customer question /answers" the first question.
Do all i3-6100 CPU's come with a heatsink fan? I'd like to get it from amazon but it doesn't say anything about a heatsink.

Mobo here, CPU here, RAM here
Thinking of getting this SSD but not sure. Is it good? Are there faster or more reliable ones for same price? Was going to get this one but seems the price went up since the last time I looked at it
Had to add the links in a comment since the last time I added links in the post here I got flagged for spam because the links(mod confirmed that was what happened).
So in regards to Cpu's something like this would be a good subistute. But right now I'm swapping around parts and for the price it's looking like building a computer that's smaller than an ATX might be where the money is.
Hi, So I built my current rig back in April 2017 and thought I'd upgrade this black friday but I dont know what to upgrade. I'm running:
&#x200B;

&#x200B;
Power Supply: EVGA 430 W1
&#x200B;
Storage: WD Blue 1TB Sata Hard Drive
&#x200B;
This is the only PC I've ever built and I've never upgraded before. I would like to upgrade my CPU because its an i3 and I know its getting outdated but I dont know if thats the only thing needing an upgrade. I usually get 150+ frames on Counter-Strike and around 120fps on Overwatch but these are all on low settings. However I just recently bought BO4 and can barely run at 60 fps at low. Any advice as to what processor I need to upgrade to?

I'd recommend looking into an i3-6100 and B150 motherboard then. It's a little bit more expensive but also performs a little bit better. It's also readily available on Amazon.
I built my PC a little more than 4 years ago, and want to update some parts, mainly my CPU, for streaming.
This is my motherboard.
This is my CPU.
This is my graphics card.
This is my RAM.
What parts can I reasonably upgrade to bring it more up to date? Would this CPU be fine for my motherboard?
I mostly ask because for my budget build I was recommended an i3 and a GTX 950 SC. No knowing when I'll actually be able to buy parts, but I try to keep it updated for the best possible deal at the time.
With Christmas coming up, my grandmother is apparently going to be giving me cash to put towards my computer. I'm done pretending that it's all going to come together soon, but if it does, I want to be on top of things.
do you have a recommendation for a motherboard ~$100 with the Z170M and LGA1151 socket?
i'm leaning towards going with the i3-6100 and something like the ASRock Z170M Pro4S using the onboard graphics for now and giving him the option to add a dedicated card as he finds the need.
The 1st gen i3 will never hold up in 2016. The problem is, upgrading your cpu to say, an i3 6100 means a motherboard upgrade, which means RAM upgrades too. Here's probably the cheapest upgrade route which should make the machine a 1080p beast:
Motherboard: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0165YUDTM/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awdb_RAzryb4XB0B0Z
RAM: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01BIWLFGQ/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awdb_MCzrybW1ABSNB
Intel i3 6100: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B015VPX2EO/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awdb_xDzryb3QBBVYT
Total cost: $202
Should be okay, RAM is easily swappable for something faster if that is important to you.
How important is the number of cores for a CPU? I'd like to buy this CPU, but I'm not sure. How is it? Can I get 720p@30fps with this CPU, a GTX 580 and 8 GB of RAM?
https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B015VPX2EO/?tag=pcp0f-21
It says free delivery in the UK right here. Add it to your original wish list/cart too. Your build looks good so far.
Maybe you could change the Monitor to the one I suggested as it'll be bigger with the 24'' and it has pretty good reviews.
Also, try to look for 1x8GB, not 2x4GB. Your motherboard only has 2 RAM slots, so if you want to upgrade in the future, you'll need to throw out your 2x4GB. If you get 1x8GB there will be no problem. If you do not plan on upgrading any time soon, just go with 2x4GB as RAM usually runs better in Dual Channel.
Another quick question.
Does this cpu come with the stock cooler or do I have to pat 150 for it to come with it.

however i have 2 8Gb of ram not 1
I found a i3-6100 for a similar price. Does the increased number mean better performance or is the 4170 good enough? (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B015VPX2EO/ref=ox_sc_act_title_5?ie=UTF8&amp;psc=1&amp;smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER)
What would be a good mobo for a Intel 3.70 GHz Core i3-6100 3M Cache Processor (BX80662I36100)?
I'm a newbie on building and kinda on a tight budget but I need to upgrade.. My computer I'm using is from 2009.
I plan on getting a Gigabyte Geforce GTX 1050 .
Getting an I3 and a GTX 1050 don't know shit about motherboards and need help finding a budget friendly that will work with parts.. Also would it be worth it to spend $60 more to get the 4gb version of the 1050?
yes, i do have windows 8.1, i will be taking your suggestion on the ram, and 1 more question.
i3 6100 measurements are 11.7 x 11.2 x 7.9 while for example i5 6400 measurements are 11.7 x 10.7 x 8.4, i know the socket has to match the motherboard, and there's no size info on the motherboard's page about the cpu area, will it still fit? Took measurements from these: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B010T6CG7E/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&amp;psc=1&amp;smid=AFXON1SGSPLH4
https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B015VPX2EO/ref=ox_sc_sfl_title_1?ie=UTF8&amp;psc=1&amp;smid=A3P5ROKL5A1OLE
I apologise for the stupid question.
See here: the price for an i5-6500 has dropped from $199 to $190 over the past 6 months. That's a $10 difference. The current price is almost exactly the same as without any sale.
Edit: looking at amazon specifically,
and then click 1m on the right. Both are just about $10 difference.
Socket is important for the CPU an 4th Gen i7 for example uses LGA1150 Sockets, i7 7th Gen uses LGA 1151 Sockets, it's basically the part that holds the CPU in place and connects it with the mobo and defines what kind of CPU you can use. So most likely you'd have to also upgrade your mobo and RAM if you upgrade your CPU.
You could get an Asus Z170-P (100$), an i5-7600K (235$) and 8GB Balistix DDR4 2400mhz (60$) totaling to 395$ excluding shipping. As GPU you could get any GTX 1070 (~400$). I can't recommend you any AMD GPUs as I'm not up to date on them. Of course you could get a GTX 1060 and save ~200$ and invest them in an i7 or just save the 200$ if you don't need an 1070s performance. That all depends on your needs and you might want to ask again tomorrow as there might be some better options or maybe cheaper options that I'm not aware of.
Edit: moved two words. Oops.
The i5 7600K is cheaper on amazon USA.

Performance wise, it is pretty much the 6600k, but its just newer ( I also believe it is still compatible with the same motherboards as the 6th gen intel CPU's.)
Haha. I'm an idiot. Does this seem to be it? https://www.amazon.com/Intel-BX80677I57600K-Core-Desktop-Processors/dp/B01MRRPPQS/ref=sr_1_1?s=pc&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1484694172&amp;sr=1-1&amp;keywords=7600k
Seems like a mistake that got corrected.
Looks like the price was meant for the i5-7600k.
Best I can find for CPU looks to be the 7th gen i5-7600k
$10 cheaper than last week @ microcenter.
$25 cheaper than newegg

Ah gotcha.
For $500 here's what I would do. I would get;
Intel Core i5-7600K
ASUS PRIME Z270-A
RAM
And then get a <$100 case. Like the Fractal Design Define R5
Well, unfortunately, you're going to have to upgrade you CPU, motherboard, and ram. The i5-3570(k?) is pretty old and the ram is very slow. If you were going to just play and not record, I would recommend that you get:
If you're going to be recording, you're pretty much going to need to get an i7-7700k and a mobo that supports it.
is there any difference between these

i would like to comment on your CPU choice , it's shit , i have it on my laptop and it's good for just surfing the net and small games ,
i would like to suggest you buy atleast the i3 CPU or the i5 CPU
ofc you don't need to buy the latest generation if you can't afford it , but your PC is gonna go to waste if you buy a pentium.
If you want to get good frames on games than you might want to try the Intel Core i5-7600K. You can get it on Amazon for about $228.98. Here's the link: https://www.amazon.com/Intel-Core-i5-7600K-QuadCore-Cache/dp/B01MRRPPQS?th=1

Hey guys, asking here just to be sure. I'm about to upgrade my processor but in order to do that i need to upgrade my motherboard and my question simply is do these parts work with each other?
2nd question: Can i have only one stick of 8gb ram on it or do i need 2x8gb ? (Money's tight at the moment and i feel like i really don't need more ram than 8 gb since the only game i play is csgo)
Processor Intel i5 7600k
Motherboard MSI Z270
Corsair Obsidian 250D Mini ITX Case
G.SKILL 16GB 2666 RAM

ASUS ROG Strix Z270i MB

i5-7500 for $200 if you can find good deals on it. Motherboards: Cheapest you can find.
You can go i5-6500 and an h110 mobo too actually. That will save a good chunk of change.
In the future you might kick yourself for going less than an i5 though. More and more games demand 4 real cores...
Truthfully, a skylake i3-6100 and h110 mobo would be plenty, for overwatch and KSP and 1080p. That would be well below your budget. Consider that option too.
price is back down to $202 OP. think you can re-open the post? idk if I'm correct or not lol https://www.amazon.com/Intel-BX80677I57500-Core-Desktop-Processors/dp/B01MZZJ1P0/ref=pd_sbs_147_3?_encoding=UTF8&amp;pd_rd_i=B01MZZJ1P0&amp;pd_rd_r=FZQY35BNZPKT6RPEKSED&amp;pd_rd_w=C2wQJ&amp;pd_rd_wg=paZpv&amp;psc=1&amp;refRID=FZQY35BNZPKT6RPEKSED

If you're not looking into over-clocking you can save like $60 by going down to a i5-7500, H270 mobo instead of a Z270, EVGA 500w is almost $10 cheaper than the Corsair you picked, and lower DDR4 memory for another $10 or so.
Here are the cheaper parts from Amazon:
HyperX RAM 16GB
MSI Pro H270

SO for this one, the stock cooler that comes in the package would be sufficient?
I looked through all the comments and didn't find this suggestion, perhaps because it involves spending more money? However, I have done some research on this and find that the most successful streamers use this method.
First, League of Legends is a CPU intensive game. Graphics are surprisingly a small part of running League.
Second, Twitch streaming is a HUGE load on your CPU.
Because of how rendering engines work, there is going to be some inherit lag between your CPU processing the game, giving the graphical output to OBS, OBS rendering the video with your overlays, then placing it on the network to the Twitch ingest servers.
Depending on configuration, some systems may be fast enough to overcome this processing lag in the background so that you never see it. However, most professional streamers have a separate computer specifically for running OBS and sending the output to Twitch. This is likely where your problem is.
My suggestion: build a secondary computer specifically for OBS rendering and network communication with Twitch ingest servers.
I would recommend you pay attention to 3 specific parts to your PC (perhaps building a custom pc?):

https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA4UG5RB2658&amp;cm_re=network_card-_-9SIA4UG5RB2658-_-Product
You will need a graphics card as well since OBS will use it for its rendering engine, but this card BY NO MEANS needs to be spectacular. A modern, basic graphics card should suffice.
https://www.amazon.com/DUAL-GTX1050-2G-GeForce-Dual-Fan-Gaming-Graphics/dp/B01M69KN7E/ref=sr_1_2?s=pc&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1497844717&amp;sr=1-2&amp;keywords=asus+1050
Decent power supply, small SSD (128gb), basic case, 8gb DDR4 RAM, Windows and your set.
I know. I know. It's more money. But, it really should kill your performance issues for good. According to your network speed test, your upload speed could be faster but it shouldn't be the source of your problem from what you described.
Hope this helps.
Note: I am a Computer Engineer and mod for Twitch streamers
Sure! It's nothing impressive though.

Sure, here you go.
I didn't realize this at first but I think I need uATX. My current board is 9.6x9.6. This is on Amazon for $79. The 1060 is pretty big with 2 fans, will it fit??
B250
And you're right it's only $5 to upgrade to the i5-7500

You're using a local shop, not an agregator. That's not fair.
Now, Amazon.de

7500-185 eur.
1600 is 200 eur.
7600k is 215 eur.
Mate, look, your shop is expensive, you should be able to find a cheaper one.
And you can do just fine with a non-OC 7600k, because the K version has higher clocks by default.iirc its 3.8 ghz

Just finished assembling my first build with the help of a friend and my MB is giving me some beep codes that don't seem to correspond to any that are listed on the website (for some reason, the manual doesn't have them listed).
Whenever I turn the computer on, it will proceed to emitt 5 LONG beeps then shut off and boot up again just to beep 5 more times. I am 99% sure it is long beeps because they last just over a second or so each. There is just no way those are short beeps. I have already tried booting without ram and with only 1 of the 2 sticks of ram each. I made sure they were seated properly also. I am just completely out of ideas and the internet seems to have no help.

but this not make any sense:
https://www.cpubenchmark.net/compare.php?cmp[]=6&amp;cmp[]=2925
what you are suggesting is worse than what i have ?
Yes I have, I have the comment history to prove it. All I have to do is scroll down a lot. And you lost, bad. You kept trying, I kept debunking every thing you said. It got to the point where you were repeating points I had already proved false.
>I'm not here saying console is superior. But PC isnt superior either. It's all subjective idiot.
That's ironic, calling me an idiot immediately after writing a dumb ass comment. I found a $320 ps4 slim bundled with spider man for $320, and a 40 inch TV with speakers here to go with it. A total of $479.94. That plus $60-$120 a year (if you bought the ps4 slim on release that's $180-$360 extra onto the total, so 659.94-839.94 total). For that you get a device that cannot be upgraded, has a cpu from 2008, can play games at 1080p 30fps medium low settings, no graphics options, only one input device option, the option to pay money or play offline, is very limited in uses, and only 1800 ish games available 74 ish being exclusive.
Now, let's see what kind of PC we can get for $659.94, shall we? Theres a free version of windows 10 that just puts a water mark on windows products. A little annoying, but not as annoying as all the ads in sonys paid online service.
G4560 for $82.96
Gigabyte GA-H110M-S2PV for $69.99
V-Color Skywalker Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR4 2666MHz for $64.99
WD Blue 1TB PC Hard Drive - 7200 RPM for $43.81
XFX Radeon RX 580 GTS XXX Edition 1386MHz OC+, 8GB GDDR5 for $184.99
Rosewill Dual Fans MicroATX Mini Tower Computer Case for $34.99
Thermaltake Smart 500W 80+ White Certified PSU for $39.99
The PC itself is $521.72 and runs circles around the ps4 slim and the ps4 pro. It is more than capable of 1080p ultra settings at 70-80fps on most AAA games. Now for the kbm and monitor.
Logitech Desktop MK120 for $29.87
Sceptre E225W-19203R 22" Ultra Thin 75Hz 1080p LED Monitor for $79.84. Its smaller but you're going to be way closer so it wont matter.
For $28.51 less, you get a PC that runs circles around the ps4 and ps4 pro, is upgradable, can be a work station, is capable of a lot more, is cheaper in the long run, has hundreds of thousands of games available on it, objectively has more high quality exclusives, has a player base 12 times the size, free online play, an entirely free game every week from epic games store (no subscription needed), and much more options.
And since you always like to say "b-b-but can it p-play d-dvds?". I first would like to mention that pcs have the option to download the movies, netflix and other streaming services exist, and if you actually do want to play movies via disk, you can spend the $28 you save on a $20 DVD drive if you want. It's an optional accessory.
Now I think I've successfully proved that you
1, have no idea what you're talking about
And 2, are wrong about it being subjective. Yes, preferring a console is perfectly fine. But objectively a PC is better in almost every way.
I built something very similar for myself recently. I used this mobo and CPU, and it’s a solid machine.

Thanks! Do you know if I could use this Kaby-Lake version of the CPU?
I have a MSI H110l Pro and a Kaby Lake processor. I found out after I had tried to put everything together that the MBO only supports Kaby Lake after a BIOS update.
Unfortunately, I'm at a catch 22, where I can't get any displays to a screen or get to BIOS to flash update, since my processor isn't supported. I don't have any other processors that would work with the MBO. What should I do?
g4560 Hands down the best budget CPU on the market right now, runs just a tiny hare under the i3-6100k
https://www.amazon.com/Intel-BX80677G4560-Pentium-Desktop-Processors/dp/B01NCE8T92/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1486354853&amp;sr=8-1&amp;keywords=g4560
Only problem is you will need a B250 motherboard, atleast those tend to be the cheapest that are compatable with the g4560 currently.
PSU just go for the cheapest 500 - 550W you can find
Salve,
sto cercando di mettere insieme un pc da gaming economico intorno ai 400-500 euro.
Ho fatto una lista su amazon dei componenti che vorrei prendere:
E' una buona build? Al momento il totale e' intorno ai 480 euro. Vorrei cercare di avvicinarmi il piu' possibile ai 400. Cosa mi suggerite? Meglio altri componenti? Conoscete trucchi per ottenere i pezzi a prezzo piu' basso?
Here's a nice budget build for you:
CPU: Intel Core i3 8100k https://www.amazon.com/Intel-8th-Core-i3-8100-Processor/dp/B0759FTRZL Or if you want to go even cheaper, go with this CPU: https://www.amazon.com/Intel-Pentium-Dual-Core-Processor-BX80677G4560/dp/B01NCE8T92 it's only 2 cores but it has really good hyperthreading.

&#x200B;
let me know if i missed anything
Wrong link in title. Here's the actual link
You should be decently okay! The only thing you'll want to upgrade sooner is the cpu and ram. The G4560 would be nice to go to. The only downside is the DDR3 ram - you'll have to get DDR3 with the system if you upgrade ram.
SSD makes a huge difference, but to stay on budget, if you can reuse the old hard drive, consider the following:
Look into the new $99, 3.5 GHz Pentium, it has hyperthreading and IMHO just as good as an I3 for quite a bit less. Since it has integrated video, you can build around this CPU with a B250 mobo, add a[ stick of RAM] (https://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820148856) and I'm sure you'll get close to on budget if you're re-using the case and power supply. Later it is very upgradeable to any skylake or Kaby Lake processor, another stick of ram, and can take a nice video card if desired too.
These three parts added up to 270, before tax, hopefully you could find them bundled with free shipping at least. You might be able to find a cheaper B150 motherboard, but that wouldn't run Optane in the future, and would need a BIOS update somehow with a Skylake processor installed before you could use the Kaby pentium.
Intel Pentium 3.50 GHz Dual-Core LGA 1151 Processor (BX80677G4560) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01NCE8T92/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_p07HzbRJT06SF
And on a $500 budget, you shouldn't be focusing on upgrading with the possibility of overclocking later. Focus on the best performance now.
Fyi, G4560 is going for ~$60 brand new on NewEgg, Amazon, etc. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01NCE8T92/?tag=pcpapi-20
Make the following changes:
CPU: Pentium G4560 $85 at Amazon
MOBO: $50 Amazon
RAM:
Cheapest 8GB DDR3 stick you can find.whoops, DDR4, my mistake!Boom, you're below $600
im using the craigslist/ebay. if you want something new and are really low on cash and dont want to bother searching for fitting parts i would suggest something like this https://www.amazon.com/Timetec-2133MHz-PC4-17000-Unbuffered-Computer/dp/B00G2QI0XA/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_product_top?ie=UTF8
https://www.amazon.com/MSI-Skylake-Motherboard-H110M-Pro-VD/dp/B017NIDYH2/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1504805405&amp;sr=8-2&amp;keywords=h110

with a fitting gfx card. there are quite some vendors on the net beeing cheaper. if you go for craigslist make sure you can test the parts before buying shitty scrap
In the $60 pricerange? The g4560
https://smile.amazon.com/Intel-Pentium-Dual-Core-Processor-BX80677G4560/dp/B01NCE8T92/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1527024612&amp;sr=1-1&amp;keywords=g4560
I would like to get it as cheap as possible so any compromises you can tell me would be appreciated. Also I saw this processor for cheaper than the one listed and it has 3.5GHz compaired to the 3.2GHz, I know it's dual core compared to quad core but I'm not quite sure what that entails, I'm new to this after all. Also I know that 128gb is very little storage for a pc but depending on how much space the os will take I might be able to manage without the hard drive, but again I'm not sure.
Yeah i couldn't find the right one, that's the CPU im buying: https://www.amazon.it/gp/product/B01NCE8T92/ref=ox_sc_sfl_title_3?ie=UTF8&amp;psc=1&amp;smid=A11IL2PNWYJU7H
Is 120GB SSD enough? I already have W10, i'd just put the OS and some games on the SSD.
PC parts don't get price cuts like the xbox does though, IIRC the 2500k still goes for like 20 bucks under retail if bought brand new. that's a 6 year old processor. your xbox started at 400 or something (excluding tax and xbox live) and is now being sold for 40% less than when it came out. source for the price, i'm not sure what launch price was but that's 40 dollars more than the new 6th gen 6600k.
I have a this cpu: http://www.amazon.com/Intel-i5-2500K-Quad-Core-Processor-Cache/dp/B004EBUXHQ
with a AMD 6970 I paid $120 for, my computer cost me $600 and runs this game at 60fps.
This:

But why the old hardware?
It would be 194 for dollars to buy it here in Dallas when I looked at amazon it was 219 which is about a 25 dollar difference. If I was stuck situation I would just pay the 25 dollar difference if you can.
** side not if you have a friend or family member that lives in an area with a microcenter you could ask them to buy it for you
on amazon
>That's a micro-ATX case, and you have a full ATX motherboard.
Well thats embarrassing, good catch. I'll have to dig around to see if there is a way to sneak the mobo into a smaller case otherwise might have to replace it.
As for the parts doesn't look too bad:
As for the the Asrock I almost feinted until realizing I was looking at the Extreme7, I'm going to have to spend some more time poking around for that one. Thanks a ton for the help/hope, now I know its worth investing some more time into trying for two.
Okay, so I looked everything over, and it seems like a very solid build. I have just a couple recommendations to improve your system a bit. I priced everything out for your build including taxes and combo deals and it appears you’ll be spending $922.75 and $867.55 after your mail in rebates. First you might as well upgrade to a full ATX board if your going to go with a full tower. I would go with the MSI Z68A-GD55 from newegg, its $154 and has a $20 MIR. Its pretty much the same board as the one you chose, just ATX instead of mATX. Second, purchase your processor from amazon.com to save some money on taxes. I would recommend the i5 2500K, you may not be interested in overclocking now, but you may want to do it at some point (just make sure you buy a better cooler). Last purchase the EVGA GTX 560 for $184.99 with a $10 MIR from amazon as well. So by just purchasing your parts from a different vendor you can essentially upgrade to a full ATX board and GTX 560 for just $2.63 more. Heres the breakdown.
From Newegg.com:
Motherboard: MSI Z68A-GD55 (B3) LGA 1155 Intel Z68 - $154.99 - $20MIR
Memory: G.Skill Sniper Low Voltage 8GB - $59.99
Power Supply: OCZ ModXStream 600W - $74.99 - $25MIR
Hard Drive: Samsung Spinpoint F3 1TB - $59.99
Tax: $30.62
Total from Newegg: $380.58
From Amazon.com:
Processor: Intel Core i5 2500k - $219.99
Graphics Card: EVGA Geforce GTX 560 - $184.99 - $10MIR
Case: NZXT Phantom White - $139.82
Total from Amazon: $544.80
Combined Total: $925.38
Minus Mail in Rebates: -$20(Mobo) - $25(PSU) - $10(GPU) = $870.38
https://www.amazon.com/Intel-i5-2500K-Quad-Core-Processor-Cache/dp/B004EBUXHQ this?
The cheapest i5 CPU in store here is $210.
It's on sale, but right now we could buy an i5 2500k for $172 - nearly $30 less than our cheapest in-store i5.
To make a fairer comparison, considering that the 2500K is on sale, this 4460 is also on sale. It's still cheaper to buy the i5 2500K on amazon, pay for shipping, and get a much faster CPU, than it is to be the cheapest and on-sale CPU here.
While I agree with the other commenters as to the actual asking price- if you really want to recoup some of your costs you could raise the price by a few hundred dollars provided you have the right buyer.
The idea is to stress the fact that it's a processor that runs at 4.0ghz (stress big numbers) and is a quadcore i5 (conflate this with modern i5/quadcore cpus), that's unlocked (doesn't matter that the 4.0ghz number basically refers to that). Talk about how it has 16gbs of RAM, I'd also try to overclock it so the frequency increases (same idea as 4.0 ghz). then show them a combination of the pcpartpicker page, this NCIX page, and either this amazon page or this pcpartpicker page. Hopefully you can demonstrate the value of the system doing this and raise the asking price (maybe 650-700). Stress the CAD:USD value if they might ask about the price.
I know that this stuff works on most people who aren't familiar with building their own PC/looking at components often. I'm ashamed to say I did something like this when I worked at Futureshop (it was a pretty toxic environment tbh, we got into stealing sales and effectively stalking customers... ugh)- and it seemed to work. I know from talking to friends who still buy prebuilt rigs from physical stores that it still works.
So yeah... if your desire to recoup your losses is stronger than your desire to not take advantage of people- then you could probably raise the asking price and reasonably expect to receive more.
It's $90 used and the original price is $279 but it says it's in very good condition. https://www.amazon.com/Intel-i5-2500K-Quad-Core-Processor-Cache/dp/B004EBUXHQ
Please, and thank you in advance! I've recently tried to get back into desktop hardware after 5 years off, and so I don't know anything about how much these might go for!
How badly are we talking? Recommend a processor? Damnit wish it wasn't shipped.
Edit: It hasnt shipped yet, I can still cancel!

A little over your budget but totally going to be worth it. If your budget is defined and can't be altered, an i3 would be a good budget processor
Couldn't help doing some more checking -- you can get the i5-2500K from Amazon for [$204.99] (http://www.amazon.com/Intel-BX80623I52500K-Core-i5-2500K-Processor/dp/B004EBUXHQ). Maybe the price dropped recently? The only other weak spots I see are the lack of an SSD for a boot drive and the slowish RAM. It looks like you can get [G.Skill Ripjaw 1600] (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?SID=Ssj0XH52EeGctKLST36xpQ2e5b9&amp;AID=10440897&amp;PID=1225267&amp;nm_mc=AFC-C8Junction&amp;cm_mmc=AFC-C8Junction-_-cables-_-na-_-na&amp;Item=N82E16820231428) for $40 after using Newegg's "aprmem15" discount, but I'm not sure you'll see any major performance boost; still worth it if you have any desire to overclock. An SSD is definitely worth considering, but if it's outside your budget, I think you've put together a great machine.
ahh alright thank you, could you possibly do me another favor and let me know if these parts are sub par in any way? :) was planning on ordering the CPU tomorrow if i get some good comments about it, the reviews seem promising

http://www.amazon.co.uk/INTEL-I5-2500K-3300MHz-LGA1155-Desktop/dp/B004EBUXHQ
Yeah, I've been only able to find cores with the 1155 socket on Amazon (although I could try r/hardwareswap too...)
According to Amazon, anyway, a 3770K would be around $350 used.
http://www.amazon.com/Intel-i7-3770K-Quad-Core-Processor-Cache/dp/B007SZ0EOW
A 3570K is about $200 used (ignoring first offer)
http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B007SZ0E1K/ref=dp_olp_used?ie=UTF8&amp;condition=used
And a 2500K is about $170 used.

So, I guess, which is the best option?
>i5 sandybridge is the best bang for you buck, at least since I last read the reviews and benchmarks.
Your better off getting the new releases, the difference is only $50.
No. Look at the i5-2500k. It's last gen, and the price has gone up a bit since Ivy came out do to limited supply, even though it's old(er) tech. If you NEED to build now, go for Ivy, but I'd wait for Haswell at this point in time. It's only a few weeks away.
Yes i5s like the 3570k and the 2500k are better than the i3. Speaking of which the 2500k is only 199.99 at some places. The i3 is better than the 2310 though.

You're right, pcpartpicker doesn't have the 2500k but they have the 2550k which is most likely the same processor but already overcloked slightly. However, I was able to find one on amazon. Sorry for the mobile link, not in front of my computer at the moment.
Currently my PC is 6+ years old. It plays all of the games I want but it's tough. Right now I'm playing a lot of Fortnite at mid settings but that's with my video card overclocked as high as it can and the fans are like a jet taking off. I get about 45-50 fps.
My video card is an MSI R7850 https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B007MLSGHE

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004EBUXHQ
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004QBUL1C
I assume it is the gpu that is the limiting factor here, what can I upgrade it with that will last me for the next year or two? I figure at that point I'd need to make a complete new build anyway.
Yeah, prices aren't going to change at all. Intel has no competitive pressure here to discount the old parts; a good example of this would be the 2500k - take a look at the Amazon price graph here and see how little it changed when the 3570k was released mid-2012.
https://www.amazon.com/Intel-Core-i5-3570K-Quad-Core-Processor/dp/B007SZ0E1K
This is the processor I have and I never have any problems. I havent even bothered overclocking it because i havent had the need to. This specific link is a bit high priced, so you may want to shop around a bit. I think I paid somewhere around 250-300 for mine a couple years ago.
Sounds like everything else is ok. If you want to be extra sure, run a scan with super anti spy ware to check for viruses and the likes. Then maybe crystal disk scan to check for hard drive errors. Both of those can definitely impact game peformance. Other than that, I can't think of much else to do except upgrade your rig.
I'm hoping editing computer build questions are allowed?
Im currently building an editing computer and had some questions.
Ive been editing my gopro footage on an old power mac g5 with imovie09 and its time for an upgrade. Im going to be filming with a gopro and uploading to youtube. The computer wont be used for anything else.
This is my first build. I followed this workflow found in the side bar of /r/gopro and had the items on my amazon wish list.my family got together and bought me a bunch of stuff for my birthday!!!

Thanks in advance for your help. Cant wait to get the rest of the parts and start editing on a decent computer!
>The most demanding games are not dual threaded, so that point is mute.
The amount of "most demanding games out there" can pretty much be counted on two hands. And those most demanding games can only use up to 5-6 threads as the others are required for OS and background processes. The rest of the "slightly lesser" demanding games out there are either single/dual threaded, or at maximum quad threaded. Most applications out there aren't highly threaded and require much better per core performance as they only have 1-3 threads to honestly operate on.
Its not a moot point at all. And its funny because even in those multi-threaded applications/games, the 4c/4thread i5-3570k STILL beats out a 8c/8THREAD FX-8350.
>And the 3570 is stll a good bit more
No. Not at ALL.
FX-8350 Stock Speed: 4.0Ghz.
i5-3570k. Stock Speed: 3.4Ghz.
To achieve a 1Ghz overclock over stock on a FX-8350 is going to require a damn good chip and quite a good cooler for how hot it runs.
To achieve a 1Ghz overclock over stock on a FX-8350 is going to require pretty much any damn chip out there (barring really shitty ones) and a $30 Hyper 212 Evo (Hell, even the $20 Xigmatek Gaia is capable too).
And in terms of motherboards, the average 990FX board (since the 970-UD3 was destroyed with shitty mosfets in a revision) is around $120, and so are Intel boards. So price-wise, the Intel option is CHEAPER than AMD.
So ask yourself. Why would you go with a CPU that is subpar in 95% of the situations, and good in 5% of situations. When you can get a CPU that is good in 95% of situations, and barely any subpar in 5%? Its a damn no-brainer.
If u plan on getting this build, just look at this first:
http://cpuboss.com/cpus/Intel-Core-i5-6500-vs-Intel-Core-i5-3570K
It's the same.
https://www.amazon.com/Intel-BX80637I53570K-Core-i5-3570K/dp/B007SZ0E1K u pay 165$ and if u want u can add 28$ and buy 2 year warranty in case u overclock too much and it gets burned.
If u buy the i5-6500 https://www.amazon.com/Intel-Processore-i5-6500-Turbo-Socket/dp/B010T6CWI2 u will have to pay 204$ for the same shit, and the warranty is smaller but doesnt make up to the 3750k.
I legitimately thought the i5 3570k was a quadcore. Little bamboozled on that one. I'll report soon if this fixes my problem.
Edit: your computer doesn't meet the minimum requirements for this software
http://www.amazon.ca/Intel-3570K-3-4GHz-Processor-Cache/dp/B007SZ0E1K/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1416651904&amp;sr=8-1&amp;keywords=i5+3570k
According to this the i5 is a quadcore.. Googling it leads to a forum saying it's not..
I'm confused as fuck. How can my PC not meet the minimum requirements? is this a quadcore or dual core? What the fuck?
All I know I is the multiplayer runs fine, I get over 70fps with almost everything on ultra, BF4 runs fine, this makes no sense, at all
Am I retarded or something fucked here

That i5 is still a few generations old (Ivy Bridge - we're up to Sky Lake now) but it will certainly run faster than your current i3. I'd also consider buying an SSD if you don't have one - it can make a big difference if you run your operating system off it.
I'm planning on getting a new graphics card, ASUS GTX760, and I want to know if I made a good choice. Here are my specs:
Component | Source
:--|:--
HDD | WD Blue 1 TB Desktop Hard Drive: 3.5 Inch, 7200 RPM, SATA 6 Gb/s, 64 MB Cache
SSD (OS) | Samsung 840 Series 2.5 inch 120GB SATA III internal Solid State Drive
CPU | Intel Core i5-3570K Quad-Core Processor 3.4 GHz 4 Core LGA 1155
RAM | Corsair Vengeance 8 GB (2 x 4 GB) DDR3 1600 MHz PC3 12800 240-Pin DDR3 Dual Channel Memory Kit
PSU | Corsair CX750 Builder Series ATX 80 PLUS Bronze Certified Power Supply
MOBO | Gigabyte LGA 1155 Intel B75 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 Micro ATX DDR3 1600
Case | Cooler Master HAF 912 - Mid Tower Computer Case with High Airflow
GFX Card | powercolor ati radeon hd 5850 (I don't know exactly which one because it was a gift, but this should be enough information.)
You don't want anymore RAM, you should upgrade your CPU to maybe a 1155 series overclockable i5 or i7? Or if you want a bigger upgrade, get a new 1150 compatible mobo and a 4690k or something like that. As for the GPU depending on the price range i'd suggest getting the R9 280 or the GTX 970 once again if you're looking for a big upgrade. If you PSU is less than 500W you probably want to upgrade that tpp/
You should be able to upgrade to an [i5-3570k] (http://www.amazon.com/Intel-Core-i5-3570K-Quad-Core-Processor/dp/B007SZ0E1K), it'd would be spectacular relative to what you have, definitely better than a new core i3.
You wouldn't need to for an i5-3570k, but some of the i5s you could upgrade to require a firmware update.
I found this on Amazon Canada for $356.99 Canadian dollars http://www.amazon.ca/Intel-3570K-3-4GHz-Processor-Cache/dp/B007SZ0E1K/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1450145403&amp;sr=8-1&amp;keywords=3570k
Is Be Quiet! PURE POWER L8 500W enough for i5-3570K @4.3 GHz and MSI GTX 970?
Don't buy a prebuilt, they are not worth the money, if you already have a decent case then you might as well swap out the existing hardware, and for $700 you could get some pretty decent hardware. Graphics Card and Processor with enough left over to buy atleast 8 Gig of ram and some better fans, bam you have a very good gaming PC. If you know how to put it together that's great, if not I could guide you if you wanted. Hope this helped.

Stealing your advice on the p8z77-v and CPU. Is that the CPU you were mentioning?
For itx overclocking, the Asus P8Z77-I (~$200) seems to be a popular choice.
Also you'd want an unlocked CPU such as the i5 3570k ($230).
I agree with wkper. Your motherboard is LGA 1155 socket, so here is a sandy bridge CPU you can get - http://www.amazon.com/Intel-Core-i5-3570K-Quad-Core-Processor/dp/B007SZ0E1K
The "K" version just means you can overclock it. If you don't overclock you can save a few dollars and get the 3570 without the "K".
CPU and case while I'm at it, here's my motherboard
Maybe I'm blind, but the specs says the mobo has 2 PCIE slots, one for 3.0, one for 2.0, but it looks like it only has one overall.
Not sure if you need peripherals or not, so that will be a huge factor influencing overall price. Assuming you will reuse your current keyboard, mouse, and monitor, here is a setup for your price range.
Case: Cooler Master HAF 912 ($55)
PSU: Corsair 650TX V2 ($85)
Motherboard: ASUS P8Z77-V LK ($148)
CPU: Intel i5-3570K ($230)
RAM: 8GB GSkill DDR3 12800 ($53)
HDD: Western Digital Caviar Black 1TB ($103)
GPU: EVGA GTX 560 ($192)
DVD: ASUS 24x SATA DVD-RW ($22)
Total = $888
You can look to upgrade your Motherboard, CPU, or Graphics Card as your budget allows. You can also look to pick up a solid state HDD, which is faster but with less space, to store your operating system and favorite game.
If you can, spend an extra £50 on an i5 4670k I found many on amazon for around £150.

I'm toying with upgrading/rebuilding a pc built in 2009 and I'd like some advice on the CPU and motherboard. Should I replace them, or work around them:
I plan on upgrading my OS from Vista to 7 or 8, but I don't want to tie the key to a 5 year old board in case it dies. Also, the board limits my DDR3 to 1600, and SATA to 3gb/s. And if I just replace the MoBo to take take advantage of some new memory or a HD, then I'll have to hunt for a replacement that fits my CPU's LGA 1366.
All told, I think the simplest route would be to start from scratch. But would it be a downgrade to switch to something like the i5-4670K or i5-3350P?
Not necessarily. Any Haswell (iX-4xxx CPUs) i5 is going to have plenty of power for a modern gaming rig, so if you say find a deal for an i5-4440 for $160, depending on your budget, it's very likely that money could be put to use elsewhere in the build.
Amazon has the i5-4670K on for $200 right now though, so if you're buying soon you might as well pick that up along with an inexpensive basic Z87 board. Even if you don't have plans for overclocking, given the price differences it's something that's worth having around, so a year or two you can easily pick up a cooler and get some more performance out of the rig, especially for something like a big GPU upgrade.
Thank you so much! This makes the transition that much easier for me. If we're going with the 4670, would this be a good option? I'm not sure what the K means and if it makes any difference with the build you put together.

I am having fun thanks, i think ill reconsider that small of a case. figure ill go with
CM Storm Scout 2 Advanced
and actually that page suggested the i5-4670k for 10 bucks less, i understand that I couldn't use the overclocking feature but it seems to be benchmarked a little higher for less.
Should i go for that?
and last but not least i may be ignorant and don't want to be rude, but doesn't the motherboard need to have a 3.0 slot for the GPU that has a 3.0 connector
i appreciate you guidance Mr. Kareem
$209.99 on Amazon now, definitely worth it. It was on sale for $190 on Monday, but the price is still lower than usual.
You CPU is Ivy Bridge. Upgrade to this newer Haswell. If you are planning on overclocking it is recommended to get an aftermarket CPU cooler. The best budget one is a Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO
Or we could compare what common mortals that dont shit money use, which is for example I5-4670K
Mobo
Case
CPU
Cooler
This was my first build, and I'm having a hard time understanding what my rig can handle.
GPU: GTX 780 Classified
Monitor: BenQ XL2420Z 144hz
Ram: G.Skill Ares DDR3 (2x4GB)
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-Z87X
PSU: XFX PRO 750W
CPU: Intel Core i5-4670K
H100i for cooling and SSD/HDD for storage
My goal is 3-4 monitor + TV set up once I move to a place with more space in the near future, running any game 60+ fps across the multiple screens. Currently all is awesome on one screen. However, Linus tech tips makes me want more..like higher than 1080p
Questions: Second GPU or overclock current Gtx 780? If 2nd GPU, need new higher wattage PSU? And, am I stuck mirroring the Gtx 780, or is pairing with slightly better one ok? I get that the slower one limits...uh...things...
Mixing new IPS panel(s) with current TN panel seem weird?
Upgrading to 2-3 of these 1440p monitors seem like too much? Feel like mismatched screen sizes would be irritating.
I realize these may not be very 'simple' questions. All input appreciated.
I'll probaly will just go i5 and keep a single gpu. Really just wanted to explore my options with people who knew a shit-ton more than me. I think I'm going to end up buying http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?item=N82E16813132572 (so I can keep my DDR3) and http://www.amazon.com/Intel-i5-4670K-Quad-Core-Desktop-Processor/dp/B00CO8TBOW

The power supply will be fine. The i5 and motherboard are a little bit dated, 4GB of memory should probably be upgraded to at least 8GB for modern gaming. You could buy an R9 290 for under $300. You could keep the Radeon HD 5870 (it should still be fine to play games at 1080p medium settings, unless the titles have been ubisofted) and upgrade CPU and Motherboard, then upgrade the 5870 in a month or two. One last thing: upgrade to GTX 750 Ti FTW from EVGA, LGA 1150 motherboard, Pentium G3258, 8GB RAM. That will give you plenty of options for upgrades. You could go as far as a Core i7 + GTX 980 later. The power supply will hold up to any of these options.

Yes, I realize some of these are slightly over a total of $300. Also these options (aside from r9 290) give the system plenty of room to upgrade. As for power supply, the TX 650 should be fine. Reuse your old hard drive and reuse your case.
it should fit easily into the one in your spreadsheet (although i can't see full spec on what it'll fit).
Processor you may also want to swap for a "k" model which can be overclocked (http://www.amazon.co.uk/Intel-Graphics-BX80646I74770-Generation-Technology/dp/B00CO8TBOW/ref=pd_cp_computers_3)

>I was looking at ordering an xbox one or PS4 but decided to upgrade my PC instead.
Good choice :P
Glad to see you're British, makes it easier to suggest things in my currency.
Gaming is around 80% graphics card, maybe a little less, but you want to be spending a good third of any budget into it. Here's my recommended upgrade for you:
Processor: Intel i5 4670k (Haswell)
Motherboard: To support your speedy processor, you're going to need this.
That motherboard is amazing, you'll be able to overclock to 5.0GHz +
Now we're up to about £300.
Graphics card: Let's put around £350 into this. This is an amazing card, will run absolutely any game at max settings @ 1080p really well.EDIT: Just re-read and you want AMD I see. This is also very good. Stays cool and performs really well
Now for some better RAM. Upgrading to DDR3 here: 8GB (Easily all you need for any game)
You will need a bigger case too. This is a stunning case (You can change the colour). You can see inside clearly, and looks amazing with loads of space inside.
The rest of your current spec is fine. Hope this helped, good luck.
Comes out to around £671 and will play anything at all at max settings.

This is a pretty nice computer. I just ordered a computer nearly the same as this yesterday, only with a larger hard drive, a Zalman CPU cooler, and a blu-ray burner instead of a DVD burner.
Here are some of my thoughts on the above parts:
Fifth Generation doesn't refer to i3, i5, i7, etc. For example, my i7 4790k is a fifth generation chip. Generation just refers to when the chip family was released. Here's a i5 4670k, for example. If you use the "Compare to Similar Items" feature a little further down that tab, it'll show you which socket the processors use. If you're interested in that z97 MOBO, then make sure the processor supports LGA 1150.
Overclocking is very easy nowadays. Let me show you how exactly to be exact (for Asus higher-end motherboards):
And... that automatically overclocked my CPU to 3.8 GHz, adjusted fan speeds etc. Not too shabby for something that took me one click. Manual overclocking isn't particularly hard either, it just takes a bit of practice.
To ensure there won't ever be incompatibility issues (i5-5675c came out after most Z97 motherboards and might require BIOS update which can be harsh if you don't know anyone to lend you an older 4xxx CPU for 5 minutes) you can go with either:
I really really tried to fit i7-4790K or 4770K somehow too but I don't think it's doable within 450. Within 500 yes. It would give you an edge in multithreaded games such as Watch Dogs / Fallout 4 but as said - it exceeds a budget a bit too much.
Do note - sooner or later you will want to replace a cooler on your CPU as well if overclocking. I don't think it needs to be done TOO soon (even at stock settings these ones are more than sufficient for cards up to R9 390) but it's something to keep in mind. Decent coolers start from around 25€, for 50-65€ you can find high-end air ones (which easily beat up up to 130€ liquid ones).
https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00CO8TBOW/ref=pe_385721_37986871_TE_item_image exact model
I cant seem to find the same cpu in any UK online stores :/
I think i may have to get this as an alternative.
No problems in terms of incompatibilities. The 4670K is actually 29 cents less.That is always nice in case you want to overclock in the future.
This is what it has been on amazon for a while @ link (and NCIX US)
It's a BS 'sale'.
Well, I had been looking into graphics cards all morning and the Nvidia gtx970 keeps coming out with great recommendations. Pricey though for me.
And then appears that my CPU might be a bit of a bottleneck stepping up to the latest and greatest cards.
Currently looking at the following

[GPU]
(http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=GX-259-MS&amp;groupid=701&amp;catid=1914&amp;subcat=1010)
And then hoping to sell my current trio for maybe €200 might help what appears to be nearly a €600 spend ( €200 over budget)
Consoles are capped to 30 fps.
I have a cheap PC build which runs it at 60 fps
i5 4460
GTX 1050
MSI Micro ATX
Corsair 650W
PSU is a bit overkill ^^
Get a random case and a hard drive and your sorted.
i guess the 4460 would be the best way then. it's a huge jump from the pentium.

wow thanks! Looks great, I like the build. Only thing is I wonder if that i3 will hold up. Was looking at going up to an i5.
Puts me a little over budget, depending on other parts, but what do you think?

Okay thanks. Ill open it up tomorrow after work and check it out.

First time upgrading PC and I'm not quite to grips with all the details of these things.
I was wondering if this motherboard or would be compatible with my GTX 750Ti? Also would you recommend the previous motherboard or this one
which is also from Gigabyte like my GPU.
Finaly, would this i5-4460 be an improvement over my current rather aged i7-2600? As far as I can understand it would be compatible with either of those motherboards but would it be worth buying over keeping my current i7?
Thanks

That's my current CPU and he is cheaper, isn't this good enough ?
At least he seems to be good enough for me
can someone tell me if this CPU is compatible with this MOBO
What about a i5-4460?
Amazon has one for 257 cad
And will go in your Gigabyte board
I don't plan on buying a overclocked cpu and this looks like the best non k i5 on the market atm. would you recommend it?
EDIT: Wrong link

I am currently running an AMD Athlon II X3 455, which is a slight step up from the 450 you mention. It isn't a bad processor and it still performs well for me with my 550 ti card, but it's both quite outdated and not too great to begin with.
If it has to be between those processors I would go with the Phenom II X4 925 so you have some sort of longevity, but a newer processor is much better. The AMD FX-6300 is cheaper than the Phenom and should perform substantially better, plus it runs on the AM3+ socket if you have an older motherboard and don't want to upgrade.
If you are willing to purchase a new motherboard and spend a bit more on the processor, the Intel i5-4460 will likely get you even better lasting performance, though this comparison actually marks it as fairly close to the FX-6300, so perhaps it isn't worth the extra money.
I hope I was helpful, good luck with your build!
Edit: Looking at the link provided by /u/Feedel_Casthrow, it seems that the Athlon X3 450 may actually be the better pick, especially considering the cost difference. I would still side with the AMD FX-6300 over either option though.
Weird the price went up from when i posted it but let me see if i can find it on amazon or something better.

Do you have a after market cooler or the stock cooler that came with your 4150? the one for the 4150 should work as these two cpus dont come with a stock cooler.

Prices in france are weird and sites even worse.I quickly checked every decent site and ended up using http://www.rue-montgallet.com/ since its a pricechecking site and was giving me the cheapest options.
Ask your friend to get you windows for free.If you end up paying full price on windows the builds performance will suffer a lot.
What GPU are you using ? If you want better performance, the GPU is going to have a greater impact. If you don't have a good GPU, the GeForce GTX 1050ti is great and no other part should bottleneck it. If you do have a good GPU maybe your problem is not the CPU but RAM. How much/ How fast is your RAM ? The CPU is not that bad and other parts could be the issue. If its confirmed that the CPU needs to be upgraded.
The exact name of the Motherboard would also help as some chipsets may need a BIOS update for compatability for a certain CPU

Couldn't quite navigate properly since search results only allowed Japanese characters, so I couldn't find appropriate choices for a monitor or a good WiFi adapter (which is necessary if you want to use WiFi). I'm also not familiar with Japanese PSUs, so I didn't recommend one. I wouldn't want to suggest something low quality, since bad PSUs can ruin your entire system.
Also, the 'English' version of the website always reverted back to the Japanese version after you left that specific link, so I couldn't quite use the sorting function so there can be some components I chose that are overpriced. I would really recommend double checking the parts I chose on Amazon to see if there are cheaper alternatives.
If the build is way over budget, I would suggest you get a cheaper R9 290 instead.

Looks like changing to Amazon messed me up a little. I believe this was the one I meant to list. Should they be about the same? This new one doesn't state that it's quad-core, should I expect a huge difference? Or it is quad-core and it just isn't in the title?
> R9 390 > 970
What differences should I expect? Apparently, the R9 390 is huge. Will that give me troubles?
Thanks :)
I'm using if for a number of things, probably should've listed this in the original post. I only play one game, league of legends, and that doesn't take up much space. I used to be a digital artist, so I do some photoshop and illustrator design work for friends on occasion, but that's not really a priority. I am also in school, but I just use google docs for most stuff, so I won't have many other files or programs on the computer.
Almost all of the space on my current computer is taken up by movies and tv shows I've torrented, but I have no reason to keep any of it, I just haven't needed to delete anything yet so I haven't.
I guess I'll see how far I can negotiate the price down on #3 to decide if its worth it. If I don't decide to do that, though, I'll definitely take your advice on the i5 and 2 sticks of 4gb. Would that be more expensive? Also, what if I did a 500gb ssd? Do you know about how much more that would cost?
Thanks!
edit: looks like it'll cost about an extra $70 to jump up to an i5, not sure if it's worth it but I'll still consider it. It's only an extra $50 for the 480gb ssd so I might do that (although at that point I guess I could just get the 240gb ssd and the 1tb hard drive, thoughts?). The 2x4gb ram I'll definitely do though.

Just a couple of thoughts
It does. There are some models (OEM) that come without heatsinks, but either of these two has a heatsink.
http://www.amazon.com/Intel-Core-i5-4460-1150-BX80646I54460/dp/B00JIJUBAS/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1427232217&amp;sr=8-1&amp;keywords=i4460
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819117302&amp;cm_re=i5_4460-_-19-117-302-_-Product
If they have BX in their product code they are the BoXed version, aka w/ heatsink.
Are you talking about this one? http://www.amazon.com/Intel-Core-i5-4460-1150-BX80646I54460/dp/B00JIJUBAS/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1426968102&amp;sr=1-1&amp;keywords=i5-4460

I'm confused because the Amazon deal doesn't show on PCPP
I haven't used an AMD since Thunderbird, so unfortunately I can't say for sure.
I use a Mini ATX case for my server, so I bought this cpu which is similar to what I've used in the past (not for 4k, though, since that's just now starting to come around) and has worked very well for me. My guess, and some may differ, is that any i7 is going to clobber whatever you do.
Honestly your best best is to go to PC Part Picker because it will let you plug in what you already have and then help you find compatible hardware.
This would be your best bet - https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00JIJUBAS/ref=ox_sc_act_image_1?smid=A1COA7PWTAABOP&amp;psc=1
I don't have advice to save you money, but if you have an extra 15 bucks I would recommend the i5 4590.
Went ahead and compared the two on [http://cpuboss.com/cpus/Intel-Core-i5-4590-vs-Intel-Core-i5-4460](CPU Boss) for you.
And if you have an extra ~60-100 dollars, it is absolutely worth getting a 120 gig SSD to put your operating system on. I can't stress enough how much of a difference that makes for boot times and opening web browsers/other applications you put on it, its insane.
Get Windows 8. It's way faster and the learning curve is not too bad at all.
Intel 4690 i5 + Asus H97 if you're not gonna overclock.
Intel 4690k i5 + Asus z97-A if you're gonna overclock.
Of course, the mobo's are entirely up to you, depending on what features you want, but those are pretty popular ones.
As for the HDD, I'd really recommend taking advantage of the low SSD prices and getting a cheap 120 GB Samsung 840 EVO and pairing that with the existing hard drive you have. Installing Windows 8 on this SSD should give you a noticeable performance boost. Then again, the SSD is up to you.
Thank you so much for helping.
Would this be a good upgrade to the other processor?
Amazon has the i5 4690 for $20 cheaper
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00JST2QEW/?tag=pcpapi-20
Would this processor: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00JST2QEW/?tag=pcpapi-20 work with the motherboard your recommended me? It says "Compatible with Z87 and Z97 motherboards. Z87 motherboard users may need to apply a BIOS update for compatibility. Not compatible with Intel Motherboards."

granted i know this is the k version and the link i posted isn't. but why is it that i'll see this at 3.9 GHz but in other places it says 3.5 GHz?
The best CPU at that price point for your socket is a i5-4690.
https://www.amazon.com/Intel-i5-4690-Processor-Cache-BX80646I54690/dp/B00JST2QEW
Not sure what your PSU is but keep that in mind.
Good luck!
Non-referal link
For a little less ($188) you can get an i5-4690 from Amazon.
http://www.amazon.com/Intel-i5-4690-Processor-Cache-BX80646I54690/dp/B00JST2QEW/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1415028309&amp;sr=8-1&amp;keywords=i5-4690
I would advise against that cpu because it is an unlocked i5 but you can't overclock it on the h87 chipset. An i5-4670 Will work with your motherboard right out of the box. If you want to use haswell refresh CPUs (i.e i5-4690), you will need to update your motherboard bios. Instructions on how to do that can be found online.
Might I recommend this great bang for your buck!

The whole build seems to be in flux and I guess I'm not buying tonight after all LOL
Don't worry, the processor I'm recommending is considered the best for gaming (the only reason to get an i7 is for media e.g. video rendering). The CPU + mobo is $313, and there is a $25 rebate on the motherboard.

Swapping out these two parts is relatively simple, albeit a little time consuming. Just be sure to look over some guides while you wait for the items to arrive, and if you have any questions feel free to ask. One important note, you must reinstall Windows after you replace the motherboard.
I've been helping people pick computer parts a lot lately, and here's my go-to current build (as in, where I feel price/performance is optimized)--it's usually around $1000, NOT including monitors. I built two for my company (minus the video card), and they are wonderful. If you want to compare: CPUs, GPUs.

This is at $1015 + tax--still over budget, but going much cheaper really starts to bite into your experiences (and if anyone here can recommend anything to save money, I welcome it).
As for monitors, if you're playing EVE, honestly I'd recommend a 2560x1440 monitor because spreadsheets. However, since those start around $300, my go-to cheaper monitors are the not-bad 22" 1080p ones that can be had for around $140.

Source: I've done IT for the past few years, and done dozens of computer purchases/builds.
Notes: I don't buy AMD or ATI unless it's an extreme budget build. I don't buy off-brand because I've had parts break and then not have an RMA available; I've had good experience and RMA support with Corsair and EVGA. You don't really need a CD/DVD drive; you can install Windows from a USB key, but if you're unsure, CD/DVD drives are like $15. If you go with Intel/nVidia Maxwell, you won't really need a >500W PSU.
I don't like to skimp on computers much because, economically, if you're spending even 5-10% of your time waiting for your computer and you earn $10-25/hr, $1000 is paid for in somewhere between 2000-250 hours of use, yet the computer will last at least 3-5 years.
Im not sure if the deal is over or not:

Anyways, if you cant get it for that price, get one of these instead:

Am I missing something here? I found an i5 4690(non-k) for $240 from a just launched amazon seller. Almost the same price as the i5 4460. Seems a little funny to me, anyone know whats going on here?
4690k is the clockable version, and it's $188 on amazon right now!
I ended up getting the non-k version here http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00JST2QEW?psc=1&amp;redirect=true&amp;ref_=od_aui_detailpages00

This is what you want:
Pentium G3258 can be overclocked to 4.2 Ghz with its stock fan. Great for emulation.

MSI Intel H81 LGA 1150 Micro ATX Motherboard (H81M-E34) with HDMI out
https://www.amazon.com/MSI-Intel-Micro-Motherboard-H81M-E34/dp/B00HUFEUQ8/
Easy to find two used 4 GB sticks (or a single 8 GB) DDR3 for 8 GB. $25-30
Easy to find an at least 500W PSU. $40
Easy to find a new or used ATX case. $20
What kills you is a new copy of Windows 10 Home (System Builder version) if you don't already have copy. That's $90 on Amazon alone. Maybe check a grey market Key selling sight for this.
Add a used gaming GPU if needed.
I've heard that the Pentium G3258 is an amazing deal, for gaming, if you're going to overclock it
I agree. This one is overclockable to over 4.0 GHz, I think. It's a steal for the price.

Yeah, I get that. I don't mean to come off as rough or anything but you can only patch over a build like this so much before you're wasting money and need to start investing into a better machine. I see a lot of guys trying to make something out of nothing here, and it's only hurting themselves.
The best place he can put his money right now for gaming performance is the Graphics card, any other upgrades would probably start getting too costly.
An alternative solution would be to replace the CPU and motherboard with a Pentium G4400. It's probably the best he can get for cheap and it OC's pretty well. The processor in combination with a motherboard to go with it will cost him about 110 GBP before tax and such. The GPU is still a weak spot, but if he's playing low end games that should get him by until he can get ahold of something better.
Building a budget computer (light gaming/everyday). Buy This & This, or wait for one of those ~$100 Cpu + Mobo bundles (have yet to buy memory for my setup as of yet)?

I just ordered an Intel G3258 for a light gaming build. Priced at $54.99, it's a steal. I had $27 in Amazon points, so I ended up getting this CPU for $32 haha.
I'm going to cool this with an H80i, so hopefully I can get a massive overclock on this thing.
Hey man, you're probably going to want to go with a G3258. It's a hair under 4000 passmark but I have the same CPU and it works fine. Those things are great overclockers, so it's definitely going to fit your needs. Mobo doesn't really matter. Find something with the correct socket, right number of SATA ports, right form factor and you're good to go. This is what I used for reference. RAM isn't too big of a deal, either. Cheapest one that'll fit the build. 4GB would be plenty but because I had a stick lying around, I'm using 8GB.
I don't know the exact power draw of mine but it's always on and I don't notice it.
My formatting is really bad, so I apologize ahead of time. This is what I've done research on and saved so far.

Get an Intel G3258.
They are $70 at the moment. It's a dual core processor that can be overclocked up to 4.2 - 4.5 ghz, features the latest and best cores that Intel has to offer. This processor can out due the i3 4130 which is almost double the cost.
Pentium K for the win: http://www.amazon.com/Intel-G3258-Pentium-Processor-BX80646G3258/dp/B00KPRWAZQ
Currently have mine clocked at 4.7 ghz. Runs KSP like a champ.
Is it this http://www.amazon.com/Intel-Pentium-Processor-G3258-BX80646G3258/dp/B00KPRWAZQ/ref=sr_1_fkmr0_1?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1413764366&amp;sr=8-1-fkmr0&amp;keywords=Intel+Pentium+gr3258
I think this cpu would be better value. Then try and pick up a 7750/7770 on gumtree or craigslist or something.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0LDM43_cKn0
Edit: oh, and you don't need a z87 like they said in the video.
And particular reason for going with that AMD?
I think the Intel G3258 is a much better value at around $60. You can find a combo with a mobo for around $100-110.
http://www.microcenter.com/site/brands/G3258Bundle.aspx
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00KPRWAZQ/?tag=pcpapi-20
Couldn't find any direct comparisons, but the even the older Intel G3220 is ranked higher than the 5150.
http://cpuboss.com/cpus/Intel-Pentium-G3220-vs-AMD-Athlon-5150
I checked out FreeNAS. For me that is probably the best route, thanks. Is there a reason you wouldn't use RAIDz2 instead of RAID 6? Does that have to do with the ECC RAM and motherboard? I know they are quite a bit more expensive.
One concern I have is the AMD processor you are planning to use does not have a discrete graphics. From what I have read, this may interfere if you are wanting to play videos from it. If you are not wanting this to be a HTPC then disregard. I will point out that there is a sale on the Intel Pentium G3258 for only $55 right now. I know that is $14 more, but having discrete graphics could really pay for itself in the future if you change your mind. I know you would have to change motherboards, I was just throwing that out there.

Great! Could you do me a huuuge solid and tell me if it can support my processor really quick?
Edit: Processor
You already have the GPU? Try going the g2358 route.
http://www.amazon.com/Intel-Pentium-Processor-G3258-BX80646G3258/dp/B00KPRWAZQ/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1417450450&amp;sr=8-1&amp;keywords=pentium+g3258
An inexpensive motherboard should be able to overclock it.
Pentium is probably best bang for the buck. Has an integrated GPU that's pretty average until you get the rest of your build together. 6300 would be fine also, but no iGPU.
First off, get an Intel G3258 3.2GHz I OC'd this badboy to 4.4GHz stable. But even at stock its still good for CS;GO. Next, with an R9, I'd recommend getting a full mobo. Z87-G41 by MSI is a great board, also has nice overclocking program. Next, I would recommend getting 2 sticks of RAM because dual channel gives you better bandwidth. It will stay the same price. Next, unless you are in love with the case, I would trash it. To me, it looked to have TERRIBLE air flow. I personally would get an Antec 302 This case is great. Lastly, I play CS:GO and I have it installed onto an SSD. This REALLY makes it load fast. I would try to squeeze a few extra bucks into getting a 120gb SSD. It can really make the difference. I would spend no more than 90 bucks on one. Hope my novel of words helps!
If you have got the extra money to spend, get the i5, since many games, today at least, doesn't use more than 4 cores, rarely even more than 2 cores. Thus, they benefit from fewer, stronger cores, which is what the i5 offers. However, if you are on a bit of a budget, you could go for the FX-6300. The FX is still a good processor, but in some games, it may bottleneck you quite a bit.
If I may add another option, you could get an Intel Pentium G3258 with a Z97 board. If you overclock the Pentium, it matches even a i7-4790K in games, and that's for a fraction of the price!
Intel Core i7 4790K & Pentium G3258 "Anniversary …: http://youtu.be/evXpqpNhu_Y
This setup also allows you to upgrade to an i5-4XXX or even an i7-4XXX in the future, if your performance starts to fall off.
For this I would recommend an aftermarket cooler, to get the most out of your overclock. If aesthetics doesn't matter much or if you like the look of a big heatsink on your CPU, I would say go for the Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo, which is on sale on Amazon right now for $32.99 http://www.amazon.com/Cooler-Master-Hyper-212-RR-212E-20PK-R2/dp/B005O65JXI
You can get the Pentium G3258 for $57 right now on Amazon as well! http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00KPRWAZQ/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?qid=1417947594&amp;sr=8-1&amp;pi=AC_SY200_QL40
Okay I like those choices I'll check out the mobo
But the processor is this what you were referring to? I like it, seems nice and cheap. Thanks for all the help by the way. I greatly appreciate this.
If all you care about is SC2. I'd honestly get http://www.amazon.com/Intel-Pentium-Processor-G3258-BX80646G3258/dp/B00KPRWAZQ
Just overclock it to 4.0ghz (super simple), and you'll be good to go.
Then if you ever did want to upgrade later, you can go to an i-5 or i-7 with no problem.
Thanks for the feedback. So I see you replaced both the processor I was looking at and the case.
Is the AMD FX-8320 really worth the extra money over the Intel G3258? With Amazon selling the G3258 for $57, the AMD is twice the price. Will having the 8-core make a huge difference in performance given the data crunching I will be doing with it? I assume that in this case, the number of cores will be more important than the difference in clock rate? Otherwise, would it be better to go with a cheaper CPU with the intention of upgrading later?
Also, my other concern with your build is the case. It's significantly larger than the Roseville case I originally included (in terms of both footprint and the overall volume). I'd really like to stick with something more along the lines of a mini tower (so microATX). Do you have any suggestions for builds that would fit in the Rosewill Legacy U3-B) case?
Is this motherboard 100% compatible with this CPU?
just FYI the G3258 is on sale at Amazon and Fry's for $57
Intel Pentium G3258 appears to be much better for only $67 and has the 1150 socket. Would that work?
Edit: nevermind you said 8 cores. I'll look into some cheap octa-cores.
The g3258 is 55 bucks right now on amazon - here's Camelx3 showing the price humps, been 55 bucks a few days this month: http://camelcamelcamel.com/Intel-Pentium-Processor-G3258-BX80646G3258/product/B00KPRWAZQ?context=browse
so, might be able to save 15 bucks
I don't know if this is necessarily a "Simple Question," but I'm always nervous to make posts, so hopefully this doesn't cross the rules, if so I'm sorry. Also if I need to add more info, please let me know, I'm new to this.
I think I want to upgrade my CPU and GPU.
My current setup:
GPU: XFX PCI-Express Video Card R7-360P-2SF5
CPU: AMD Athlon X4 860K Black Edition CPU Quad Core FM2+ 3700Mhz 95W 4MB AD860KXBJABOX
I don't know if the rest of the stuff matters but here it is:
Case+PSU: ROSEWILL Micro ATX Mini Tower Computer Case with PSU, Steel Computer Case + 400w Power Supply, Front I/O: 2x USB 2.0 and Audio In/Out And 90mm Rear Case Fan (R363-M)
HDD: WD Blue 1TB Desktop Hard Disk Drive - 7200 RPM SATA 6Gb/s 64MB Cache 3.5 Inch - WD10EZEX
Motherboard: Gigabyte AMD FM2+ A68H SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 mATX ATX DDR3 2133 NA Motherboards GA-F2A68HM-H
Ram: Ballistix Sport 8GB Single DDR3 1600 MT/s (PC3-12800) UDIMM 240-Pin Memory - BLS8G3D1609DS1S00
And I do want to say, that currently, it works great already. I just can hardly run the new Injustice 2 Beta, and a few other games, and now that I have the money, I'm looking to upgrade. I've been looking for hours, and I just want to make certain that these parts will work still, and that they are significantly worth it.
These are the parts I'm looking into:
GPU: EVGA GeForce GTX 1050 GAMING, 2GB GDDR5, DX12 OSD Support (PXOC) Graphics Card 02G-P4-6150-KR
CPU:
Either:
AMD Ryzen 3 1200 Desktop Processor with Wraith Stealth Cooler (YD1200BBAEBOX)
or
AMD Ryzen 5 1400 Processor with Wraith Stealth Cooler (YD1400BBAEBOX)
So please, help me out, let me know if you need more info. Either CPU is in my price range, but I don't know if the 5 is worth the extra money compared to the 3. I believe everything will work with my computer. I think I want the 5, just sorta want confirmation, y'know.
also should I have bought this instead ? http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00MU00IOQ/ref=psdc_229189_t1_B00LUH1N4O
I'm running it on this, with this mother board and this video card.

Check the link for the string on the retail chips.
>As for the "2" in the model number, the first Zen/Naples leak I and many others reported on this year had the following string: 2S1451A4VIHE4_29/14_N.
That is a Server ES...which is completely different from a Desktop ES. DT chip strings start with 1, Z, or Y. Period.
>I'm not sure what you're trying to say here. The turbo clock for 2D2901AUM4KE4_33/29_N is 3.3GHz. Are you reading this wrong, somehow?
I may have the clocks backward...but you are still not explaining all the holes in this.
Lol oops. I'm not exactly sure how my brain was running this morning or how it got to thinking this. But for some reason I thought you meant the 1800x when you were responding to the above comment about the 2700 X. Thus my lil rant about canada computers bs pricing.
Heres the link to the 1800x anyways lol. Everything I've seen researching the ryzen platform seems to claim the newer generation ryzen's only have a 10% increase in performance over the last so for the price difference between the two I wouldn't really see that as worth it unless like the guy you were responding to you can get the 2700x on sale.

The 1800X is available from Amazon (which will arrive sooner) just FYI

I built a PC a year ago, but I wish I waited a year for a 1800X for gaming/programming. It's 8core/16thread. Looks like you can get it for $457 including a liquid cooler. https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B06W9JXK4G/ref=cm_cr_arp_mb_bdcrb_top?ie=UTF8
I have mixed feelings about the turbo boost. By reading on wikipedia about turbo on the previous amd iterations, it's simply a frequency boost that happens for short periods of time on 1 core. It's really useful for single thread applications. However, it becomes confusing when on Amazon, for example, the 1800x is sold as having a frequency of 4ghz while in reality has 3.6ghz. At this point it just becomes a marketing thing.
Edit:
Here is the link to amazon
Absolute legend, thank you very much. Any objections to any of these parts?

Well I don't really know how you can sensibly use that whole budget. He's my recommendation for a bit less
Ryzan 7 1800X
Corsair H100i v2
Asus B350-F
Corsair 16GB 3200MHz RAM
So that is the high end Ryzen CPU. With that Mobo you can over clock and the liquid CPU cooler will keep it all cool. The ram is high clock so you get the best out of Ryzen.
Any links to all this, the majority or users do not even live close to a Microcenter. Plus, my state has a 11% sales tax and I am sure your state has some form of tax.. Plus with MC you have to catch them on sale and usually buy as a combo.

Alright, thanks. I was checking out the bundles they've got for it, and they have an msi mobo with it here. I still really dont know much about motherboards, but so far I've chosen an Asus B350-f. Do you have any idea which would be more suited for my needs?

Can't wait until tomorrow!
I play at 4k so I'm hoping to see a big boost! I know I've been bottlenecked on the CPU end a bunch.
Also understandable though I do have a pretty good understanding of certain concepts, maybe some simplifications but the results is my main concern, do you have any idea which would perform higher? Also what's the difference between the AMD chip you listed and this one? https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B06X3W9NGG/ref=psdcmw_229189_t1_B06WP5YCX6
(It's the same exact series but slightly more for some reason)
Major question, do I have to be concerned for the 1080ti to have a mining issue and get sold out quick. Do you recommend that I buy it as soon as it releases or do you think I'll be safe until September comes around because the 1st-2nd week of September is when I intend to make these orders.
Probably my last major question, if I went over the budget (Definitely under 2000$) would there be any parts that are significantly better than the ones you listed for me? Like the AMD chip, I noticed there is apparently a 1800 chip or something like that but appears to be sold out everywhere.. :/

These are massive upgrades to what you have now and it’s less expensive than that 2080 you want lol
I'd take a Ryzen 1600/1600X over this i5 any day - 6 cores and it's even cheaper. Doesn't even have hyperthreading - wtf.
If I were you I'd get the Ryzen 5 1600x, it's 200MHz slower (you can overclock it if you get a decent cooler), it has 2 more cores with more cache and it's cheaper. This is the Amazon UK link to it. If you get it with a decent motherboard you'll get the same performance for cheaper.

Geez! The 1600X is $288.19. It's $324 on Newegg.
Because of the better multithreading, I'm guessing. I would guess the way to go would be the R5 1600X?
There you go
Should I go with the regular r 1600 or 1600x?

Thanks a lot for the advice!

I I assume I would need a new cpu cooler aswell.
Yea I’m also upgrading to 8gb. And I’m wanted to buy this one:

Here it is, it has 6 cores, its clocked pretty high, you can also overclock it, pretty good for gaming.

I would get a cheaper Ryzen 3 1200 and perhaps look into a cheaper set of speakers such as these
Otherwise, looks great! Your experience will be vastly improved.

R3 1200 is less.
That would definitely be a mistake to purchase that CPU.
As long as you have a quad-core CPU which was made in the last few years, you could easily game with an appropriate GPU. The CPU you listed is only dual-core. It won't be an awful gaming experience, but there are games which won't run on only two cores.
If you wanted an alternative to the CPU you listed you could either go for a Ryzen 3 1200 or a Ryzen 3 2200G. The Ryzen 3 1200 is a new quad-core processor and is only about $20 more than the CPU you linked. The Ryzen 3 2200G is about $40 more, but it has built-in Radeon graphics which I've seen perform really well. Just make sure you get enough high speed memory if you go with the Ryzen 3 2200G.
If i was to build from scratch though would this be any good?

These are definitely not the best options, but at the price limit you have I think it's probably the best you can do. I'd run it by someone else though just to make sure. Never trust just one stranger's suggestion on the internet!
Edit: I just realized you don't have a GPU. Is that why you were going for the 2200g? If so, then it's gonna be another $20 or so. But the budget you have is pretty limited for the best bang for the buck.

no. thats why i said get a ryzen3 1st gen... its 4 cores and 4T
Why do i say ryzen3? Because it costs like 59 bucks . The price gap between the Athlon 3000G and the 1st gen Ryzen3 is minimal and leaves no room for production of a 4core Athlon. It wouldn't make any sense.

is this fine?
and this?
That looks like a great build. However, you would get far better gaming performance by putting something like a GTX 950 in there. You could buy this https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0741DN383/ref=twister_B07QDLTW62?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1 and use the savings to put towards a 950, they go for £40-£50 on ebay.
I would advice you should buy a ryzen instead of upgrading to a already dead platform. A ryzen 1200+b350+8gb ddr4 ram will be ideal choice. I would have waited till zen+ (March-April) next year, but since your pc is dying, it's upto you whether you can hold on.Though 8350 with 1050ti will not be a bottleneck,but may affect in your future gpu purchase. I just checked the total price came less than 300 euros. You can wait till Christmas or buy right away since there are great discounts even now. If you want more cpu performance I would advice you go with r5 1400 or r5 1600, still total price is less than 400 euros.

Just found out that Amazon UK is delivering to Ireland. You might be able to get 1060 3GB within your budget. Total comes to £475, don't know about the delivery charge as I'm Prime member so it shows free for me.

I took a check, and would say not to buy in Sweden - in Ireland it is the same due to high costs and not having a very big market, you will not get good value for money. However I checked in Germany and it seemed... ok-ish. But I made a dummy address in Stockholm on my Amazon UK account and came up with this for €580
(NOTE: pay in GBP, not EUR or SWK as Amazon inflate the exchange rate by a good 5c or so if you do). Delivery is only €10, so you're doing pretty great there (and the weak pound has been awesome for buying stuff on Amazon lately)!
The one thing missing from this is a case as the delivery costs are very high due to it being a big, bulky item - maybe it would be best to look for a low cost, €20 equivalent type of one near you. You won't get anything beyond a black slab of a box without breaking the budget but what is inside it is much more important in this price range and you're getting a good bit for that.
I took a quick look and this was the cheapest case I could find at €40 - https://www.netonnet.se/art/datorkomponenter/datorchassi/tower/mission-sg-ggx-1-1/239989.8976/ .... though these two at €57 look a lot nicer https://www.komplett.se/product/930914/datorutrustning/pc-komponenter/chassibarebone/midi-tower/cooler-master-masterbox-lite-31# and https://www.komplett.se/product/891800/datorutrustning/pc-komponenter/chassibarebone/minimicronano-tower/corsair-carbide-88r-midi-tower-sv
Just do a lot of checking around - any case marked ATX or MATX form factor will work, though if you want one with a window on it go MATX to match the motherboard (otherwise the motherboard will look kind of weird and tiny through the window).
I have done two 1050 TI builds as gifts with a G4560 CPU in them and was on mostly high settings at 50+ fps 1080p when testing them out, so with a 1200 quad core (that performs identical to an i5 7400 when overclocked) you should be doing a good deal better here.
Also check Amazon UK Warehouse Deals for more 1050 TIs, I got both for £111 instead of £130 off of it - they are used but will describe any wear and tear and it only means damaged packaging, plus Amazon do a no questions asked 30 day money back policy on them and will of course pay for the cost of return shipping if you need to do that.

Because I want to keep the budget as low as possible will these work together?
I know the CPU is kinda weak but still. If I went any higher it would probably need a BIOS update but I don't have any other CPUs. So should I buy these? No higher price tag. If you want recommend me other pieces at the same price, that are better. All will be purchased from Amazon.de
CPU - Intel i5 8600k $239.
CPU Cooler - Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO $30.
Motherboard - MSI Z370-A PRO $100.
RAM - Patriot Viper Elite Series 8GB DDR4 2400MHz $81.

Total Price: $904. Throw in Windows for an additional $90-$100. It's really hard to get a decent PC to be under $1,000 nowadays with the price of RAM and GPU's :( I think this build will suit you best though. It's definitely not bad,
Awesome, thanks. Just to be positive, you mean this, right?
Summarized:
Do you plan on overclocking? The 8700k/8700 have higher frequencies out of the box compared to the 8600k, which is pretty much their only gaming advantage. But if you overclock the 8600k it will hit the same frequencies so that advantage disappears.
The GTX 1070 will definitely hold up longer than the GTX 1060. But for current games, I would probably say it is overkill for 1080p... but you will be more future proofed.
Hey, since your budget is around $1350, I can't say much but its best for you to choose your own keyboard, mouse, and headphones because they're personal equipment meaning one might not work best for you if it doesn't suit you comfortably. So, for now, I'm just gonna give you a PC build w/ monitor + OS only.

Buy those as an alternate (for newegg) and you're good to go! It shouldn't make such a price difference.
First time building a PC and I have a quick question about RAM memory speed.
If I'm looking at an i5 8600k that supports up to DDR4-2666, am I right in thinking that there is no point getting memory that goes up to 3000MHz even if my motherboard supports up to 4000MHz.
Is it only the CPU that makes use of memory or are there other components that would make use of that faster memory?
Thank you.
Gotcha on that first part. This is what I'm looking at, are we talking about the same chip? https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0759FKH8K/?tag=pcpapi-20
Bit confused on where the $500 estimate is from
I'd start with buying a new CPU, Motherboard, and Memory.
You can easily do that for $500.
8600K CPU ($260)
16GB Ram ($160)
Z370 Motherboard ($150)
A little over your budget, but would be good for a solid several years going forward. Could probably do a Ryzen setup for less, but I don't have experience using one, so I'm not a good person to talk to about it.
Hows this updated list looking??

Well an 8600k is $240 which sure, is t as good as $160 for a 2600 but for the increase you’ll get it’s probably worth it for your use case

If you're going the super budget route, check out AMD's Ryzen 5 2400G with Radeon integrated graphics. I have a friend buying that and saving to get a 1060 when prices go back down. https://www.amazon.com/AMD-Ryzen-Processor-Radeon-Graphics/dp/B079D8FD28/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1519145388&amp;sr=8-1&amp;keywords=2400G
Graphics compare to a 1050 from what I've seen. Linus has a video on these guys https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HOCIgOZ8-dc&amp;t=78s
https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B079D8FD28/

What's the price range? We can do one for the current-gen x, the slim, or the original.
Edit: The build came out at around $351. Do keep in mind I found all of these parts on Amazon, so pricing may be lower or higher depending on the storefront, and/or the country you live in. I excluded the case because you can get any micro-ATX pc case for the hardware, so you can spend as high or as low as you please.
Here are the beautiful specs:

Note: The processor has pretty decent graphical capabilities.

HDD/Hardrive: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07D99KFPK?tag=wepcus-20
Also, if you take into account the hundreds of advantages a pc has over a console, this build is totally worth it.
This build is very upgrade friendly, so if you wanted to take this build even further, adding an RX 570 graphics card (this is an optional add-on/upgrade) to the build would bring a ps4 pro or a one x to its knees and ask to give oral. The price is about $160 on Amazon. Further on, consoles cannot truly render native 4K, but this graphics card can handle true 4k.
Awesome! Ok so I have decided that if I want a pc that’s better than the prebuilt one that I already have, I’m going to have to spend more. Therefore I have raised my budget to the $350 to $400 range. I have also assembled a list of parts that I would like to run by you because you seem like you know what you are doing.

This is a great start! I am curious about a couple of things.
Your updated list should be fine.
If you can, I would suggest getting a Ryzen 5 2400G, it has better integrated graphics (Vega 11) and has 4 more threads. It currently costs £119.99 on Amazon (https://www.amazon.co.uk/AMD-Ryzen-Processor-Radeon-Graphics/dp/B079D8FD28).
Going a little extra on the PSU wattage would also be recommended. Most builders often choose a 500W or a 550W power supply for better expandability/upgradability.
Other than that, the build is great.
Sorry, Im new to building, I dont quite understand what you mean by,
>and further investing into the platform is not something I would recommend.
Im just a little confused is all
I dont know if the EVGA 750 GQ is a good PSU, but I feel like its the only solid part in my rig right now lol. If I need better, let me know.
What would be a good GPU to grab on a tight budget? Its something I knew I was going to need to upgrade when I put this rig together, as these are hand-me-downs from a friend. Just some thing to get me by.
And say I was to impulse buy [this] (https://www.amazon.com/AMD-Ryzen-Processor-Radeon-Graphics/dp/B079D8FD28), Would I need to upgrade to a new MB, or would the one I have be just fine? I know I might need to flash my current MB's BIOS in order to install it?
Not sure where you're buying from but the price difference between a 2400g and a 2600 is at most 5$

Ok, also, could I just buy this instead and not have to worry about getting a separate GPU. Or can I not play rainbow with it.
My build is pretty janky right now. I'm waiting for a new, smaller case to come in and all of my ITX parts are sitting in a big ol' case. Cables are everywhere. You wouldn't want to look at it. :p
Also, you'd be surprised by the amount of frames you can push on the cheap these days. If I were you, I'd look into the AMD 2400G. It's your CPU and graphics card in one chip. It's ~$160, and it's not all that powerful, but it can run WoW at around 100 fps with dips below 60 in congested areas and even play Assassin's Creed Origins at 1080p very stably above 30 fps. Now, this is with lots of settings turned down or off but it's a pretty sweet bargain. Of course, the rest of your parts will be a few hundred dollars more in total, but you could get lots of mileage out of this chip for what you want to be doing.
If you're charging extra for the shipping+paypal fees, then isn't that going to end up more than those parts (2400g combo) are new? At least currently.

Going with that as a short term solution to a graphics cars
You're getting a 7 1700, that thing is more that just a "cheap amd" CPU.
Might be able to get one of these: https://www.amazon.com/AMD-Ryzen-Processor-Radeon-Graphics/dp/B079D8FD28 and overclock the hell out of it, would save a ton of money.
Not that cheap, but the AMD Ryzen 5 2400G processor had Radeon X Vega 11 graphics. It could run some games pretty decently, price is $168.75 currently on amazon.

Is the 2400 a ryzen 3 or 5? I saw this one when first doing the build but it’s the same price as the 2600 on pc part picker.
Edit: I didn’t see that it had integrated graphics so I see what you guys are getting at now.
>AMD Ryzen 5 2400G
you kinda need new everything. I would recommend using the new fedora 30 that has been released. Less pain
The CPU and board are not compatible. The board is AM1 socket while the CPU is FM1 socket.
I would look at something like this if you want integrated graphics - https://www.amazon.com/AMD-Ryzen-Processor-Radeon-Graphics/dp/B079D8FD28/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1525742910&amp;sr=8-5&amp;keywords=amd+ryzen+5.
You will then want to find an AM4 board. I would suggest something like this - https://www.amazon.com/MSI-Gaming-Ryzen-Motherboard-TOMAHAWK/dp/B06WVFFXXL/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1525743002&amp;sr=8-2&amp;keywords=b350+am4+board.
It won't break the bank and the parts are newer than what you have listed in your wishlist.

Ignorant outdated fanboy spotted, it hurts to know that faster CPUs from intel are cheaper, doesnt it?
Amazon 1600X $249 | i5 7600K $239
Newegg 1600X $249 | i5 7600K $239
Mindfactory (EU) 1600X 249E | i5 7600K 228E
Its the same all over, and there are cheaper Intel motherboards in various sizes and configurations readily avail. Not to mention that in countries with high VAT the 1600X costs up to $300 due to nonexistant profit marigin for retailers due to AMD selling them near MSRP cost to retailers. Where as the i5 7600K remains at its low price.
But 1600X isnt a bad choise, it has some weak points yeah. Its not an obvious choise. It comes down to what is avail and what the user needs the PC for. So no its not EVERYONE BUY RYZEN! a faster CPU for gaming is cheaper with more motherboards avail that doesnt rely on fast ram, concidering the memory issues with Ryzens cheaper motherboards as well, where the makers cheaped out on copper reducing stability due to AMD neglecting to inform them of Ryzens needs.
Lied? No reread what I said. I said cheaper than the 1600x.
You really need to work on your comprehension.
Ironically the 7600k just went up in price but its still very close (10p difference):
https://www.amazon.co.uk/AMD-Ryzen-1600X-Desktop-CPU/dp/B06XKWT7GD
https://www.amazon.co.uk/Intel-Core-i5-7600K-QuadCore-Cache/dp/B01MRRPPQS
Now please. Give it up fanboy.
Edit: I just noticed you are comparing the 7600.. I guess I should have realized I was debating with a tech illiterate child.
user experience and machine longevity; perhaps watching those movies or youtube in 4k.
watching movies stutter-free while downloading or compiling or exporting video now that your sibling has decided to become a programmer or youtuber.
if starting at intel G4400 (a crappy experience), you're only talking $120 for double the cpu power plus dgpu. you'd spend more than that upgrading the shitty machine in a couple years, meanwhile the amd would still be holding its ground. i agree some would think they'd prefer the G4400 but it'll fall short of expectations and they'll want to replace it sooner than they might think, thus the short term saving becomes a long term loss.
if you start with a more and more reasonable intel cpu, the price to go double the power with amd drops to $50 in the low-mid range, and becomes $0 or cheaper at the mid and high ranges.
ryzen 1200: $109
nvidia 1030: $67
I would suggest the following upgrades to begin with (first 3 at once) and you can add more later on.
Overall cost: 1003€ ( or 1014€ )

You don't need an i7-7700K if you're just going to be using this for gaming. An i5-7600 would be sufficient for your use-case. In this case you also wouldn't need a separate CPU cooler, since one is included. This depends on what you intend on using the computer for though.
Also, you should be able to run Overwatch and CS:GO at high-ultra settings and still get >144 FPS with that graphics card at 1080p. I was getting ~100 FPS at 1440p with a GTX 1070 at ultra settings in OW, so there's no need to run on lowest settings if you don't want to.
This is a very pricey build for a casual PC. I suggest you to not go with this build unless you plan on upgrading later. here are some alternatives.
Remember to always make a build around the monitor and therefore decide the monitor first.
heres a cheap one, approx rs6300
https://www.amazon.in/gp/product/B0157V5TS4/
processor :- it s better to go with intel since motherboard for kaby lake s cheaper for cheaper processor.
heres a good combo
g4560, 2core 4 threads, rs4900
https://www.amazon.in/Intel-G4560-Genenration-Pentium-Processor/dp/B01NCE8T92/

https://www.amazon.in/Gigabyte-GA-H110M-S2-1151-Updated-Motherboard/dp/B06Y4SG6RY/
hdd is fine, ram is fine too
since build is light, u dont need aftermarket psu, get a zebronics cabinet psu combo for 2k
dvd drive not needed, m/kb goes for 500 locally, ups,fans not needed, speakers rs500
total cost :- 28000
save the rest for a 1050ti
sorry for the formatting.
Its better to build it yourself. That way you know to what quality it was built to and its cheaper.
Also do you need to go with Intel? Not only is it a couple generations old, but you could get a 3rd Gen Ryzen 6 core thats vastly faster and better for cheaper. If you wanted to go even faster and STILL have it cheaper you can get a Ryzen 8 core.

For gaming you don't really need an i7 a solid graphics card is more important. Dont buy AMD, Intel just has more power and 8 cores is pretty much just wasted money imo.

You can go cheaper on the graphics card (560ti), get a cheaper mobo, get a psu with cable management (more expansive but dont have to deal with annoying cables everywhere, will probably cost arround +40$).
almost exactly 800$.
e: depending if you want to overclock and what case you have you might want to get the old i5 (better to overclock) and get a dedicated cpu fan.
Rather than going with the very expensive i7, I would go with the [i5 4670k] (http://www.amazon.com/Intel-i5-4670K-Quad-Core-Desktop-Processor/dp/B00CO8TBOW/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1373384770&amp;sr=8-4&amp;keywords=i5). This will save you a little money and honestly, since you're overclocking, will give you more than enough processing power. If you were bumping up your build to something more like in the 2k range then sure go for an i7. But it's not worth it imo, esp since you're overclocking. Other than that, I don't see anything out of the ordinary.
