Building my first budget PC

[H4ck32z]

Hi. Should I get an i5 7600k and a GTX 1060.l or an i5 7600 and a GTX 1070?

 

[CRO5513Y]

i5 7500 + GTX 1070 would be the best middle ground imo. The 7600 isn't really worth the extra cash, allocate budget elsewhere. I suggest you consider looking into Ryzen though. Other than that wanna put your entire build list here for more help?

 

[The Paladin]

might want to put up what country you are in and what is your budget for your build, do you need a monitor etc ?

i5 7600 and a GTX 1070 its the best

 

[chegalhavara]

What you will use it for will also be helpfull. If it is for editing for example you would go better with a ryzen.

the 7600k + 1070 if u got the cash and want intel. ryzen 1600 + 1070 will beat any non k i5. infact, i would suggest ryzen combo over the 7600k.

Hi, I'm from Uruguay, the main use of the PC will​ be gaming.

 

[chegalhavara]

You will probably be better with a ryzen1600+gtx1070. If you are really into intel the 7600 is a good and more than powerfull enough processor. If you are planning on OC then the 7600K will be right for you. If money is not an issue then go straight for a 7700K.
Anyway I think you are better off with a gtx1070 than a gtx1060. Even if you re only 1080p it wil hold you for a long time anything you throw at it with little effort. And if you are planning on upgrading to 1440p you are also good. It will even be decent for 4k although that is pushing it to the limit.
If budget is an issue, the gtx1060 is enough for 1080p and will allow you to play most if not all todays AAA games at maximum or almost max settings.

Hardware is really expensive here, the i5 7600 s the same price that a ryzen 5 1600

Those are the builds I can afford

 

[Lucky_SLS]

^ dunno how prices work there in hungary but i can give u some pointers.

the ryzen 1600 with ur choice of 1070 from asus, evga, msi.

go for MSI tomahawk b350 or gigabyte gaming 3 b350 or asrock fatality b350. they r cheaper than x370 boards.

get a high speed memory like 3000/3200. ryzen benifits from it. amd said it will support all memory by end of may. for now u maybe running then @ 2133.

dont go for evga b or w. get a seasonic s12ii 520/620 or xfx ts 550 or bequite pure power 10 CM 500/600 evga g2/g3 or seasonic s12g, g series. corsair tx r good too.

 

[H4ck32z]

I wasn't sure about the ryzen, but if you guys say that it will be as efficient as the Intel it, I will definitely go for the ryzen build. I will keep the x370 because of possible sli on the future.
Looking for a PSU now.

 

[H4ck32z]

So, this is what I got so far
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1DSW0gXm49R4uwBE0iyxQmfjpssQupTArnFwNNdmdqYE/edit?usp=drivesdk
And got like 150 dollars for a PSU and maybe a cheap case (or I can use a generic case I got laying around.

 

[Lucky_SLS]

those psu i suggested above available there? they r pretty good ones. and yes, if u dont mind the looks and if the case fits it all, i see no problem. just make sure u have adequate air flow in ur case 😉

 

[H4ck32z]

Couldn't find any of the PSU you suggested. There are brands lke apevia, zalman, Corsair cx, raidmax, cougar.and some deepcool 550w 80 plus gold.

 

[Lucky_SLS]

the corsair cxm is good not the cx. try for a cx550m.

 

[H4ck32z]

There's a cx750m for 150 dollars. It isn't 80 plus, does it matter?

Edit: first googled it and found out that it is 80 plus bronze. There is a cx 650m but it is more expensive than the cx750m.

 

[chegalhavara]

See i there is a XFX XTR 750 (or XFX 750 Black Edition) where you live and if it fits your budget. This is a very good Psu.

 

[Vic 40]

There is a cx 650m but it is more expensive than the cx750m.

There's a reason for that and that is that the new CXM is better so if you can afford it better get that one.
Maybe give some other options that are available to you=maker+model+wattage.

 

[Lucky_SLS]

^ if u ask me, i would say multi-gpu setup isnt woth it. so drop down to a b350 mobo n use that cash for the psu.
and no, 80+ rating alone doesnt say abt the quality of the psu 😉

 

[H4ck32z]

Ok, the Corsair 650 is a CS 650M.
There is a xfx xtr 650 @ 320$ (a big no for me)
This is the most reliable provider

"thermaltake toughpower grand rgb 650w 148$"

IMO That's not a bad choice, it's a Tier 2 Power Supply, you don't seem to have a whole lot of choices. I noticed an EVGA SuperNOVA B2 in your previous link too, they are also a Tier 2 supply if i'm reading the list correctly.

*Edit* PSU Tier List > http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/id-2547993/psu-tier-list.html

 

[chegalhavara]

Rosewills are very good. Anyway check the Psu Tier List on the forum and see what models you have available on your contry and within your budget.

"thermaltake toughpower grand rgb 650w 148$"

I doubt that's in the tier list since it's hardly updated,but a review of jonnyguru of the 750watt seems to say it has what it takes to run the pc without problems.It seems to be a good choice this one.
