500 to 600 quid Desktop PC for gaming

[Bavique3]

Hi,
I am looking onto getting a desktop pc that can handle the GTA V and Battlefield at 60 fps or more.

I was looking to spend between 500 to 600 quid.

The pc does not need to be built, and does not need to have an OS, but it is essential to have a minimum 240 gb ssd or more and a 1TB hard drive.

The pc will also be used for Cad modelling and word processing software.

I kindly ask for some tips and suggestions.

Do you need monitor/keyboard/mouse?

@Supahos

Not at the moment, but if there any good deals with monitors and keyboard do let me know. Thank you.

Should be a very solid computer

What does the Ryzen 2200G be comparable to in terms of performance to the Intel lineup? And I ask the same for the GPU.
Just so I have some idea.

The 580 is better than 1060ti

For a bit more money you can get t he 2400G (which is a lot better)

 

[Supahos]

Overclocked (which you can do some on the stock cooler) it's just a but shy of a i5 4690k.

If you want a bit better multithreaded performance a r5 1400 is another viable option for around the same money

The rx580 is twins with the gtx 1060 6gb

 

[Supahos]

The 2400g is $50 more and takes away the option of a 580 in his price range

 

[Bavique3]

What about the ryzen 2700?
Im convinced with the Gpu its decent for the price.

 

[Supahos]

It's a great processor but when you have to pair it with a gtx 1030 to fit your budget you'll be sad

 

[Bavique3]

Oh thats right. Im happy with the choices, theyre pretty much similar to what I have been seeing around and it is what Im looking for.

 

[Supahos]

Best part about that build is if your needs change a 2700x or even the 3*** or 4000* series ryzen CPUs will work on that board when they come out

 

[ElectrO_90]

Don't forget, the AM4 motherboard has 2 more years of CPU upgrades, so even if you go for the cheapest one, later down the road you can get the 2700/3700 when the cash allows

 

[Bavique3]

Thats awesome, thank you so much both of you for your help.

Thats awesome, thank you so much both of you for your help.

Something else you can do if you want to save money is buy 1 stick of 8GB ram or 2x4GB and again upgrade later. I don't know how tight your money is, but its just a small suggestion as well.

People will say "don't buy 1x8gb" because you may have trouble putting in another 1x8GB, to which I think you won't have a problem. The problem normally comes when someone is trying to put all 4 slots in.

Anyway, enjoy your purchase and depending on how quick you want it, the CES show is in just over a week and new products will be revealed, but who know's when they will be available...
