[SOLVED] Best Build For Client Gaming?

[danielm175]

Hi,

I have made this system on PCPartPicker and came up with this system. Trying to budget it around £300 - £400 but went over a little. He wants it for basic gaming in 1080p 60hz. Games like thief simulator, Minecraft and roblox mainly is his favorite game.

The WI-FI card had to be cheap but not sure if it will affect online performance much? No access to ethernet cable even with boosters, has to be WI-FI card.

These options are better and knock off $5

Motherboard has 4 ram slots instead of 2.
SSD is the upgraded version of the WD Blue you had
Case has a tempered glass side panel (acrylic attracts dust like crazy). It only comes with a single pre-installed fan though (typical in this price range) so I'd suggest adding an intake fan.

The AMD Ryzen 5 2600X and the RX 570 8GB model are definitely sufficient for those games. Minecraft and Roblox are on the lighter side of 3D games, so I think they would run pretty fast. The wifi card isn't really an issue, it just depends on how close your PC will be to the wifi router. I used to have a TP-Link wifi adapter that was half the power of yours (150mbps and one antenna), and it served me well on online games with little to no latency issues.

And I guess I keep the other parts I have chosen, and only replace the parts you said?

Yes thank you. So the build is perfect for the client. I choice a good cpu and gpu in-case the user would like to play little more advanced games or higher the res on the games later date.

Correct.
Maybe this Arctic 140mm or this Corsair 140mm is the fan you add to the front of the case for intake. There goes the $5 I saved you I guess... but a system with a graphics card needing external power (>75W TDP) should have at least one intake fan and 1 exhaust fan.

Yes. Even with the current parts, you might be able to play more graphically demanding games.
