[SOLVED] $600 PC help

[FrozenDawn]

Just to start things off I am sorry if this is in the wrong forum, I am new here, I need some help. Having said that are these parts compatible?, do you recommend any cheaper better parts?, what are the things I need to know and the things that come with them, any bottlenecking, incompatibility all the stuff, thank you.

This computer comes under 600$ exactly $599.92, suggestions and help would be very appreciated.

Also I have to somehow get this to Pakistan if its possible through practical ways of delivery or the Philipines if possible, if not possible give me some cues on what should be replaced and is not compatible. Thanks!

Welcome to Tom's Hardware!

In the parts you listed, you need DDR3 and a higher-quality/output PSU. But in any case, it is not worth it to spend money on a FX/AM3+ platform, due to it being end-of-life/dead-end upgrade path. So I'd suggest you entirely change your build above.

A better option would be either to get a very affordable Intel Pentium G4560 platform (and upgrade that later on) or to get a good-performing Ryzen 5 platform if budget permits (costs higher than the Pentium but certainly costs less than an i5/i7 build).

A sample Intel Pentium G4560 build:

Thank you so much, it took you almost 10 minutes only, I usually hesitate to ask in forums because I dont expect someone to answer, thanks for introducing me to toms hardware in a nice way, thank you. I would like to also ask you another question.

How would this go and perform?


CPU: Ryzen 5 1500X Or Ryzen 5 1600X I am willing to buy these, the main question I had which one would pair better and what is the relative difference or should I just go with 1400 im fine with a little spending if its as minimal as possible.

Motherboard: Please suggest one
Power Supply: Also for this one
Memory: G.SKILL RIPJAWSV F4-2400C15S-16GVR RAM (I found this for 80$ couldn't pass it up)
Graphics Card: Gtx 1050Ti
Hard-Drive: WESTERN DIGITAL CAVIAR BLUE 1TB INTERNAL HARD DRIVE WD10EZEX
SSD: Samsung 850 EVO 250GB SSD
Thermal Paste: I need some guidance with this so please help me if its possible on instructions and compatibility

anything I need to know about the cpu gpu combo? compatibility? upgradeability? Thank you Raison John

The Ryzen 5 1600 is a good choice, at it comes with a cooler. Motherboard, you should go with a B350 board, that has 4 ram slots. Asrock, Asus, Gigabyte, and MSI all have inexpensive boards. The Asrock B350m Pro4 is one I typically recommend. Their Pro4 series boards are typically pretty good. PSU, a Corsair CX450M, or 550m would work. Anything Seasonic 430w+ is also a good option. Evga B2/B3 PSU's are good quality/value also.
