[SOLVED] Building a new (cheap) gaming pc

[rcoppetti73]

This is my build for now:

I'm trying to build a gaming pc that can perform well while not spending a little fortune, Is this a good build or there are other (cheap) choices?

I would either drop the GT 1030 and live with the iGPU since the GT 1030 is only about 30% faster than the Vega 8, or upgrade the card to at least a 1050 TI or RX 570 (better)... or GTX 1060/RX 580if you can afford that much.

The 5400RPM HDD is going to be slower in access time than the normal 7200 RPM model.

For $20 more, I'd go with this build. Faster ram, 7200rpm HDD, and RX 570 gpu. You spent too much on your psu and for extra $4 can get 3000 ram instead of 2666. I think there is room for improvement with the mobo but I don't know enough to choose since some were flagging as needing a BIOS update.

Ahmad is close. Just needs pricing.

Rx570 4gb = $120-$130 on sales recently.

Corsair CX450 = $20 after MIR pretty regularly.

is you are getting the 2200g, you don't need 1030. I recommend that you get a 2400g with the Vega 11 integrated gpu

I forgot to say I don't live in Us so prices are bit higher, so instead of that ram I found two others

Are those two compatible with the mobo?

 

[rcoppetti73]

Also, if I buy the 2200g, can I play some games like rocket league or csgo at decent frame rates with the integrated graphics? I could wait to buy the Rx 570 because it's the only part that doesn't ship to my country..

 

[tennis2]

The 2200G should do Rocket League @ 1080p High settings around 45fps and CS:GO @ 1080p High settings around 60-70fps. An RX570 would roughly triple those numbers.

This might be a cheapest Ryzen 2200g build also if you have some budget I recommend you to add a decent graphic card

^ And even the build above can be reduced if you're extra tight on budget.
As I said above, the Corsair CX450 (non-modular) is pretty frequently on sale for $20 after MIR.
You can get cases as low as $20.
That would bring the total closer to $330.
