First gaming pc

[Jimmyj85]

Hi. Thisnis going to be my very first gaming pc that I will build. I just wanted to know if these parts are compatible. And also, i'm looking for a case recommendation preferably within the $50-80 range.

Mobo -gigabyte ga-ab350 amd ryzen am4 b350 smart fan

Monitor-asus 23inch full hd vx238h

Storage- wd blue 1tb hdd

Psu- apevia atx-jp800w 800w

Cpu- ryzen 5 1600 with wraith spire cooler

Ram- Corsair vengeance lpx 8gb 2x4 pc4-24000 3000mhz

Gpu- gtx 1070 pny founders edition

Great build but I suggest looking for an SSD to fit in. And for case suggestion I would look at NZXT's S340 series, Phanteks cases, Cooler Master. They all make high quality cases and theres many other brand that do also.

you are doing some overkill with that PSU. You don't need more than 450. However the Corsair CX550M is sitting at $38 after rebate. I would also stay away from any founder's edition card and PNY models. They tend not to give the best performance. There many mid tower cases. I enjoy my S340 from NZXT.

PSU is junk. Some of the part choices are pretty unbalanced. Whats your overall budget for the build???

 

[Jimmyj85]

My budget is about 1000. Im gettig the founders edition gpu from my friend fir a lot cheaper. He only had it for about 5 months anyways

Well can't complain about that. If you are getting it less than $300, go for it. Here's a great build for you:

How much are you getting the card for???

 

[Jimmyj85]

Im getting it for 300. The gpu you suggested is 430

 

[Hellfire13]

The gpu you suggested is 430

Didnt get your point??? You mean $430???

Anyways, i would suggest that you upgrade to a better monitor in 6mnths time or so. This will keep the performance of your pc top notch...
