Budget Gaming PC build

[xrepsajx]

So I want to buy a budget gaming pc. But I'm just into PC building.
I'm not sure if all the components will work with each other.
My question is: do you recommend other components or is it ok?

This is my build:

There's no outright compatibility issues - you're fine in that regard.

What's your budget? Looking at the parts list, I can't help but feel there's a better value proposition out there.

For example, in a "budget" gaming rig, 16GB is probably a bit overkill.
You'd likely benefit more from a true QuadCore CPU (or greater), opposed to >8GB.

The PSU is nothing special, and pretty overrated/overpriced in most instances.


I'm guessing you're aiming for 600-700EUR +/- ? The "Kit" website would suggest you're in Germany?

If my guess(es) are correct, I'd be more inclined to do something along these lines:

Hi Barty1884, for the most part I can agree with your proposal, but can I change some things? Is there also a dual fan gpu you may advice? And can I also use the Sahara p35? Because I'm in love with that case. Do you also know some good 1x8gb ram sticks? (I was thinking of this 'Corsair Vengeance LPX 8GB (1x8GB) DDR4 3000MHz'.) Because I might want to add another 8gb stick in the future (the ram prices are very high right now!).
I'm from Belgium but I'll probably buy the parts in Germany.

I would say this would be better for gaming performance..

Thanks! It's just over my budget but i'll go for it.
(I'm still gonna use the Sahara P35 case and the Corsair Vengeance LPX 8GB (1x8GB) DDR4 3000MHz for the memory)

if your working and slowly have more funds. i would wait a few weeks. there been leaks of nvidia going to drop some new gpu soon. also on your build use the ssd now then add a hard drive latter. and the hard drive funds to a larger power supply. a good 650w one will be good for any gpu.

I don't think I am going to wait any longer. Why even should i? So i can buy the new one (which will probably be around 1000$/€) or so the prices of the old gpu's will lower? I'm gonna buy the Asus geforce gtx 1050 ti rog strix (not the palit one.)

You're right about the psu. i'll buy a slightly more expensive 600w (the 650w psu's are the double of the price!!!) than the 450w psu.
I'm also not planning to wait with the hdd.

600w psu = EVGA 600 W1, 80+ WHITE 600W, 3 Jahre Garantie, Netzteil 100-W1-0600-K2
EVGA 600 B1, 80+ BRONZE 600W, 3 Jahre Garantie, inklusive Power On Self Tester, Netzteil 100-B1-0600-K2
EVGA 600 BQ, 80+ BRONZE 600W, Semi Modular, FDB Lüfter, 3 Jahre Garantie, Netzteil 110-BQ-0600-K2

which one should i buy?

which one should i buy?

None of them. They are all HEC built junk. You do not want to run a single stick of ram. That will hurt performance. The GTX 1050ti doesn't use enough power, or produce enough heat, to warrant a dual fan design.

So i'll just use the 450w psu ohenryy mentioned.

Case is not included because i want a case that is not very popular (Sahara p35 (€90))

IS THIS ALRIGHT???

 

[xrepsajx]

Can someone please answer i'm already waiting 5 days for an answer.
Just say if it's ok or not.

A solid build, yes.

Personally, I'd still go the Ryzen5 route - 6c/12t vs 6c and works out cheaper.

BUT, if you're set on the Intel build, it's very solid - and you should be happy with it's performance for the money.

Yes, i'm more set with the Intel build.(= http://cpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/Intel-Core-i5-8400-vs-AMD-Ryzen-5-1600/3939vs3919 )
Thank you so much for answering. Now i can finally buy the pc.
Thanks for helping!
