Question First build for my kids

[estaggs529]

I am going to be building a computer for my kids we are cash strapped so kinda gonna get it in parts over few months I saw brand new ryzen 1600 for 79 dollars on sale how is that cpu for gaming I plan in spending around 200 300 hundred for a good gpu but will the 1600 hang and is 79 dollars a good price for tha

Was thinking 1600 with asrock450 pro4 and either a 1060 6 gb gpu or amd 580 8 gb can get the cpu 79 mobo 80 200 for gpu how is that setup to start

Id go with a 580 since they are dirt cheap, its comparable to a 1060. The 1600 is a decent CPU especially for that price but you should try and buy at least 3000mhz speed RAM and make sure its a dual channel kit.

Now the 1600 doesn’t have graphics card with it now the motherboard says it has a grapic card in it will that work to start it up I get my grapic card for it I have a 1050ti but kinda want to leave that one alone for now I did plan on trying to get the best ram I could for it

The Ryzen 1600 has no on board graphics, you MUST have a graphics card. You can find used RX580s and RX570s very cheap. The RX570s which is more powerful then a 1050ti are around 100 USD used, sometimes cheaper..

Get the crucial P1 on sale. It's a NVME m.2 drive at a great price - or - get the intel 660p. Don't go with a hybrid firecuda drive.
