How to set up a AMD Ryzen 5 1400x + GTX 1050 ti

[Austin Bee]

I was browsing day after day about upgrades for my computer and I made up my mind to buy an i3 6100 plus a GTX 1050 ti, but then i saw and remembered that AMD had released a new series of processors called Ryzen and I was wondering what to build to have a Ryzen 5 1400x with a gtx 1050 ti?

For what to build i mean as in what are the best parts can go well with the Ryzen and a Gtx 1050 ti. (I need a cheap mother board to go with them D: )

I'm Also on a budget, i have about 400$ saved up D:

I'm also a noob to the world of PC building My specs right now are:

CPU: AMD FX-4300 quad core 3.8 GHz with 4.0GHz turbo boost. AMD 760G Chipset
GPU: Radeon 7700
Motherboard: MSI 760 GM-P34 FX | AMD 760 GM-P23 FX | GA-78LMT-USB3 (One of these I have no idea which)
Memory: 2 x 4 GB DDR3
Storage: HDD, Hard drive interface: SATA. 7200rpm
Power: 500W Turbolink atx-tl500w-bk PSU

My intentions are to play games like Battlefield 1, H1Z1, and Battlegrounds smoothly.

Cheapest you'll do it really , this is dependant in using your existing hard drive , case & PSU (you really really really should change that PSU though - its a fire hazard)

As even Ryzen 1400 costs almost 170$, it's way out of your budget - the only thing you can salvage from your current build is HDD (and PSU in theory, but I would not do that)

^ he may get $100 or so for his current CPU,mb,ram & GPU though.

Puts it in budget then.

Failing that its increasingly hard to recommend ANY i3 as a build option when the Pentium g4560 is half the price.

Thank you for your repsonse! 40$ more isn't that bad

What about the G4560 & RX 480? For about $400 you can do that and get a better PSU.

If it needs to be closer to $400 then grab either the GTX 1050 ti or RX 470.

Should i just stay with getting a i3 6100 with the GTX 1050 ti? I feel like that way is more understandable, but i do like how there is newer technology like the Ryzen.

Will this build be good enough to run games like battlefield 1, H1Z1, and Battle Grounds smoothly?

Sorry i forgot to say that my intentions for using this computer is to GAME D:

6100 is pretty much out of game now. If you can spend around 500$, you can go with madmatt build + new PSU.

It handles BF1 fairly easy paired with a good GPU (RX 480 is similar to GTX 1060). And if can handle BF1 then it should play those other games fine.

Thats a really great budget option ,because as 3 of us havce all said you really really do need a new psu at the end of the day - trusting new components on a $20 doorstop is never a good choice.

AS said - the i3's (none of them) dont make any sense on a price to performance ratio - intel shot themselves in the foot releasing the pentium at half the price of a 6100.
You lose 10% performance absolute max for close to $50, that nets you a 480 instead & that card will just utterly crucify a 1050ti.
