Question Budget 500$ gaming pc

[DK Racing Fan]

So first I'm gonna start out and say I didn't know where to post this since it's about all kinds of parts for my pc.

Also, I should mention I'm a newbie to gaming pcs I usually just use laptops.

Hello, I'm currently thinking about building a budget 500$ gaming pc but I'm not sure if all of these parts are compatible so here are some of my parts.

Rosewill Micro Atx Mini Tower Computer Case $23.99

EVGA 450 BR 80+ Bronze 450W Power Supply

Gigabyte GA-H110M-A LGA1151 Intel H110 Micro ATX DDR4 Motherboard 69.99


Intel Core i5 7500k LGA 1151 7th Gen Core Desktop Processer

CORSAIR Vengeance LPX 8GB (1 x 8GB) DDR4 DRAM 2400MHz C16 (PC4-19200) Memory Kit - Black (CMK8GX4M1A2400C16)

Seagate BarraCuda 1TB Internal Hard Drive HDD – 3.5 Inch SATA 6 Gb/s 7200 RPM 64MB Cache for Computer Desktop PC – Frustration Free Packaging (ST1000DMZ10)

And last but not least the Gpu

EVGA GeForce GT 1030 SC 2GB GDDR5 Passive, Low Profile Graphics Card 02G-P4-6332-KR

I am not sure if links are allowed so I didn't put them here if they are I will edit this and put them here.

Parts seem to be compatible, but not that much, IMO, because you are pairing a high-end powerful processor with a very weak GPU though, the GT 1030. Is this for Gaming, or some other purpose ?

The GT 1030 is just an entry-level GPU, not meant for heavy gaming loads. Any GTX----Model is better >>>>>> GT-----Model (for gaming).

The GT 1030 card seems ideal for e-sports gaming, HTPC enthusiasts , or replacing integrated graphics in home theater PCs or productivity machines, especially given its multi-monitor support. As it's not a GTX card, it lacks support for premium GeForce features like G-Sync, Ansel, and GameStream, though it does play nice with the GeForce Experience app.

EDIT: I'm sorry, NO, those parts aren't compatible. The motherboard has no support for the Intel Core i5 8600k 8'th GEN CPU.

They are NOT compatible. The motherboard is for 6th/7th generation of intel CPUs and you chose 8th generation CPU. I don't know why it says in your description that is 7th gen, the "8" in the 8600k is the gen.

Beside that, I agree with the above post, GT 1030 is NOT a gaming card, you should be better with a 1050 or a 1050ti.

Pc part picker. Com is an excellent resource for finding compatible parts for a build . It also gives you a price index so you know the total cost and where to purpose the components. I'd also suggest going with Solid states instead of a traditional HDD . A smaller one for the OS and a larger one for games and other programs . Best of luck to you !


* EDIT *
Solid state drives don't improve game performance in the common sense of the term . They do however eliminate wait time for launch , installation and updates go from minutes to Meer seconds . I see this asked alot on the Web . Thought I'd answer before it was asked again 😊

Edit I meant the i5 7500 sorry for the confusion!
I just got confused because I looked at two different CPUs. Seems Like I'm good to go for the most part! Also I am getting to get gt 1030 as a budget card and upgrade to the 1060 or 1050ti if possible
