I thought RyZen would be cheaper and better than the Intel Kaby Lake equivalent but not entirely sure. Had to make compromises with RAM

A bit over, see if it suits you. After a year or two get something like a RX580 4GB and it should get better. Activate the windows later on... https://www.howtogeek.com/244678/you-dont-need-a-product-key-to-install-and-use-windows-10/

Wouldn't I be able to overclock the R5 1400 to 1500X level anyway? Also it's a strict $1000 AUD limit.

 

[Hellfire13]

With 1400 you can hit the 3.8ish limit, whereas with the 1500x you can hit the 4.2ish limit... http://www.legitreviews.com/amd-ryzen-5-1500x-overclocked-benchmark-results-at-4-2ghz_193599 also the extra clcokspeed helps during gaming. If you cant stretch 50 bucks over, then cut the RAM into half.

 

[Icaraeus]

Just asked my cousin and he can do $1100 max, is this good?

Those low end boards are pretty terrible for OC. I would suggest a slightly better board. Also Ryzen gets more value from higher RAM. I would rather get something like this...

use that little extra headroom to find a 3000/3200 ram. go for 1x8 now and upgrade to 16 gigs later along with GPU maybe? the 550w ts should handle a beefier gpu down the line 😉

The Tesseract case looks like some kid garbage and the airflow won't matter as the Corsair Carbide is good enough. Why the change from the Fractal Design PSU to the XFX 550W? 450W is enough for even 180W high end GPUs. I'm just asking as I don't understand these choices.

 

[Hellfire13]

Dont go on the looks. The actual case is better than pictured here. Also with all the components inside, you are not hitting even 350w. 450w is more than enough with enough room for cpu/gpu overclcok.

 

[Lucky_SLS]

if u overclock ur 1600 and go for stress test, it can drink upto 100W. siilar to the 1600X. extra rams and overvolting gives another ~15-20. high end gpu under stress test is around 230w? that comes close to 430 i think. but yes, u should be fine with edison m. its only when u run stress test and upgrade ur rig u would feel comfy with a 550w.

 

[Icaraeus]

What about this for $1200? (Cousin is asking for a range between $1000-1200)

I tried to fit 16GB but 16GB RAM would be $40 more

 

[Lucky_SLS]

^ save up on the gpu, u can overclock the rx470. and even with rx570, the fps gains would be max 5-10. 60 bucks premium isnt worth it.

 

[Hellfire13]

Looks good. Just swap the 2x4gb to 1x8gb. That board has 2 slots only and with 2x4gb you are not left with any option to add another 8gb unless you ditch the whole set.

Get this, Trident Z memory is overpriced, don't consider it unless you're going seriously high end.
An SSD can wait in your price range, better spent on upgrades now, some areas like the GPU and motherboard are lacking.
Hexacores for gaming aren't quite there yet, the 1500X is the best fit for this price range.

Not really. The 3GB VRAM is a limitation.

 

[Chugalug_]

How so?
Provides no limitation whatsoever, just better performance.
Speed is more of a concern than memory, in say 4 years 3GB and 4GB cards might start to get utilized to a higher level, but even for then it'd be perfectly fine.
VRAM doesn't determine performance, the 1060 3GB will be fine at 1080p.
If we're comparing VRAM it won't fare any worse than the RX 570 or 580, as long as there's a decent amount in there, which there is, it's fine.
