g4560 build or ryzen build

[Dropment]

my budget is $600 and im going to be doing some gaming and watch videos in 1080p and have many tabs open

some gaming? I think the G4560 might work out fine. we do not know what ryzen 3 will bring so I would say get that wonderfully cheap pentium.

with that budget, i would go for the cheaper g4560, the cheapest r5 is twice as expensive

any gpu you would like to get?

the 600 budget includes monitor or we are talking about the pc only?

i would get this

you can change psu and gpu, remove the ssd also but i wouldn't remove the ssd

if you go for a r5, taking that list and replacing ram, mainboard and usign faster ram

the budget doesn't work anymore

another place you could save is the gpu, the 1060 is great but is also expensive, so a 1050ti could be a good option depending on your needs

get the $20 logitech keyboard mouse combo, and that is nicely below $600. RGB is overrated.
I would try to get 2X4GB of RAM though.

There is 2 ram slots in the mobo so i was planning on upgrading that to 16 gb of ram

fair enough, but do realize you will be at single channel speeds until you upgrade.

 

[Dropment]

yes i do

You should still consider ryzen mate at your pricepoint IMO.

Even if it means compromising the ssd (120gb isn't enough anyway IMO) & dropping to a 1050ti
