Hi,
I have an E3 1240 V3 cpu, a cx450m PSU, a kingston 120gb SSD and a node 304 case left over from old pc's so would only need a mobo, ram and graphics card for decent wee cheap 1080p gaming pc for my wife.
I've spied this - https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Genuine-...-/283835165812?_trksid=p2349624.m46890.l49292 . Which is the cheapest smaller form factor (the node 304 takes mini itx and dtx so think it will fit looking at it) with a proper 24 pin power cable (power supply can do 20 pin or 24 pin).
Along with - https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/16GB-2x-...-/223315098967?_trksid=p2349624.m46890.l49292 . All's I want is just the cheapest 2x 8gb ram I can get my hands on.
Then there are plenty of reasonably priced rx 580's on ebay.
Hoping to get away with spending around £200+ to get me/her up and running.
Slight concern round the 450w power supply but it's what I have on hand. The CPU is around 90w max draw and those GPU's look to be around 235w. Total 325w plus say another 25w for ram and ssd and we're all in at 350w. If I'm underestimating I can play with a bit of under volting to dial things down a bit.
So back to the question would that ram, CPU and mbo combo play nice together or would there be problems?
Thanks for reading and any comments, thoughts u want to add would be very welcome.
