Question FINAL $400 LIST (read)

[phenom pumpkin]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/ftFdGJ

W/ tax it equals to $399.64 (Amazon) I finally got my parents on board with this one meaning this build will happen and I won’t flock to this fourm with a random list everytime

Rate and fix pls, parents said only Amazon/trusted apps (ex Newegg)

Also it glitched out, I’m not getting those specific brand of fans with the 6 pin connector but I’m getting a Chinese 3 pack on Amazon for 9.99

Tax rate is 8.25%

Your parts list on PCPartPicker shows $700 while you're stating that they are from Aliexpress. You might want to back track your intentions on purchasing goods off of Aliexpress as sellers can leave you high and dry, meaning you'll be out of pocket with whatever money you give them and a claim for a refund will be long winded.

PSU belongs in a dumpster.

Please fix this and rate this,
You seem to have a number of these threads that lead everyone nowhere.

I’m being real tho, I’m just trying different builds. What else should I change.

Fill this out, if you want serious input to another build. DO NOT SPIN OFF A BUNCH OF NEW THREADS. Clear?

How to Ask for New Build or Upgrade Advice First off, respect where respect is due - this is an adaptation of the Animal's *How To Ask For New Build Advice* Sticky. I created this because there's a lot of posts nowadays asking for upgrade advice both on here and on the CPU forums, and I feel...

SSD too small. Horrible PSU.

You'd be better off with something like this for a couple bucks more:

https://www.amazon.com/NINGMEI-Desktop-Graphics-3200MHz-Windows/dp/B0D6VFMFFZ

Just add a dedicated GPU when you can afford it.

Also I tried to put this but it wouldn’t let me, main games are FN and RBLX, video edit and use VMS

Ok, but I really want to build a pc 🙁 what psu should I get then? And the ssd? I already have a 5tb hdd which is why I’m getting the 128gb model of ssd

Understood. Just that the list you compiled is terrible, as previously noted.

Ok, but can you see if you can fix the list?

 

[COLGeek]

From your previous list, do you already have the GPU, by chance?

 

[COLGeek]

Try this:

Use cooler than comes with CPU instead of additional expense.

Case already has fans, don't need more.

I would not go with anything less than 500GB SSD.

Don't use a junk PSU, else you will come to regret that decision.

CPU has integrated video. Use that until you can buy a dedicated GPU.

Also, you can run Win 11 un-activated indefinitely until you can purchase a proper license. This too will keep your costs down.

Then build a PC, not a doorstop.
Save up some more until you can do it right.

The psu is junk. It has only a one year warranty and when it fails, it could damage the rest of your parts.

Do you know that the R5 5500 comes with a cooler?

If there is one component that you don't want to worry about it is the SSD. Buy a known brand, and at least 256gb.
When a ssd approaches 95% full, it starts to lose performance and endurance.

I like the case, and it comes with a 120mm fan.


RX580 cards were widely used in mining, they are no longer made new. You are asking for trouble there.
Look at a similar performing Intel A380.

I’m going to buy it at micro center, so it averages to about $430 (at micro center)

Is it good, or should I change something?

 

[COLGeek]

Good luck. You failed to take any of the previous input. Let us know how it turns out.

Purchasing that PSU is a fire hazard as many others have said please do something more like this:

The 5600GT is more than powerful enough for the time being before you can afford a B580 from Intel. Please don't make the mistake of buying those parts...

I need a gpu now for games and video editing

Then either use the powerful iGPU in that CPU to do those things or save another 200-300 dollars for a dGPU. If you don't wait and end up purchasing a bunch of manufactured e-waste like you are planning on doing, you won't find me in the systems section trying to help you fix your brand new PC that doesn't work because of a plethora of naive part purchases in the face of copious advice to do otherwise...
