First time making my own pc

[Floris_2]

I'm going to try and make my first pc (1920:1080 60fps)
does anyone have any tips? As this is the first time im doing this kind of thing.
I'm probably going to order it all from amazon.de btw.
Anything would be appreciated, thanks.
And is it worth it to invest in an ssd?

It can work, but you wouldn't be able to get 60fps on high settings. What type of games are you playing? What quality are you aiming for ?

 

[Floris_2]

Not really high quality, medium or low is fine. I would like it to be smooth though, not lego like

 

[Chugalug_]

What's your budget in Euros?

 

[Herc08]

If you are ok with low to medium settings, it should work fine.

 

[Floris_2]

About €700/€750 is my budget, right now its about 714. If needed can go to 800 but would like to stay under 750

 

[Floris_2]

Ok, thanks a lot.

Any thoughts on ssd's?

 

[Chugalug_]

Not worth it in this price range, better spent on performance.

 

[Herc08]

I see WD has some SSDs, but I would always go with Samsung EVO series as they offer the best performance. However, SSD does not improve game play, only loading times. However, outside of games, programs, files and other things will open and launch more quickly....if it's on the SSD. The WD 1TB isn't bad at all. I use it as my mass storage and it works wonders.

 

[Floris_2]

Ok will probably stick to 1tb hdd then

Thanks a lot, but i dont know about the gtx 1060. My moniyor can only go up to 1920:1080 60fps so is it worth it to get a 1060?

Thanks a lot though

 

[Herc08]

Yeah, the GTX 1060 is probably best budget card for 1080p. I have one as well, and it works wonders.

 

[Floris_2]

Ok

 

[Chugalug_]

I found a better deal. The RX 580 performs the same as the 1060 6GB for less, allowing me to get a Ryzen 1600 in there.
Intel does perform slightly better in gaming, but games are quickly moving towards multi-threaded utilization.
In this way, the 4 threads of the i5 will begin to fall behind in a year, and be overtaken by Ryzen, especially with DX12.

 

[Floris_2]

Ehm... Ok
Sorry but i dont really know what you're talking about. I gtg rn though, thanks a lot and I'll check it out again tomorrow.

 

[Floris_2]

And I have no clue why but it seems the case can't be delivered to where I am (NL).

 

[Chugalug_]

Pretty much get the list I posted, it'll last far longer than an i5 system and perform similarly.

I can't get the gpu as amazon doesn't have it yet.

 

[Chugalug_]

Oh jeez, that sold out fast.
Get this, 2-4 weeks to deliver but saves you $40 on a GPU.
