Im Nearly There !? Custom Build - Thanks for all the help

[ekyaj]

right, first off i would like to say a massive thank you to everyone on the forum, i know it must be hard dealing with people new to PC's etc so everyones advice has been taken on board and is appreciated, i currently have a quote for £730 for the below spec custom build,


1 x Fractal Design Define Mini C Gaming Case - Black
1 x MSI B450M GAMING PLUS AMD Socket AM4 Motherboard
1 x AMD Ryzen 5 2600 3.4GHz Hexa Core (Socket AM4) CPU
1 x Corsair Vengeance LPX 8GB (2x 4GB) 2666MHz DDR4
1 x EVGA GeForce GTX 1060 SC 6GB Graphics Card £326.99 ??
1 x Cooler Master MasterWatt Lite 230V 500W 80+ PSU (been told this is not very good)
1 x Crucial MX500 250GB 2.5" SATA III SSD
1 x Western Digital Blue 1TB SATA III 3.5" Hard Drive
1 x 3 Year Collect & Return warranty
1 x Xigmatek CY120 3-Pack 120mm RGB Fans with Controller

but noticed on there site they have the graphics card which looks really over priced ??

would i be looking at

-362.99 removing the EVGA GeForce GTX 1060 SC 6GB Graphics Card
-33.98 removing the Cooler Master MasterWatt Lite 230V 500W 80+ PSU

+54.98 if i swapped them with a Corsair CX550M 550W Modular 80+ Bronze PSU
+£319.99 if i get a Palit GeForce RTX 2060 StormX 6GB Graphics Card (+ battlefield v or anthem)

= £708

or

-362.99 removing the EVGA GeForce GTX 1060 SC 6GB Graphics Card
-33.98 removing the Cooler Master MasterWatt Lite 230V 500W 80+ PSU

+54.98 if i swapped them with a Corsair CX550M 550W Modular 80+ Bronze PSU
+£268.99 if i get a Sapphire Radeon RX 590 NITRO+ 8GB Graphics Card (+ 3 free games)

= £657

surely im best spending the little bit extra and getting the rtx 2060 ?

is everything else in the build decent, im wanting this to last minimum 5 years lets say ? coming from a mac thats lasted 7 + lol (don't slate me <3)

this is a great forum and appreciate everyone who's helped. its a 21st birthday present so been taking my time

2600 is ok but i would prefer the 2600x myself.

The RAM is a bit slow, something like 3000mhz would be better.

£326 for an 1060 is mental. They are about £100 cheaper on Scan. (not that exact model but a 1060 6gb)


However having said that the system with the RX590 for £657 seems like a good deal

Team Vulcan T-Force 8GB (2x 4GB) 3000MHz DDR4 RAM so if i swap the ram for this one, which is an identical price, that would be a good setup, doesn't the 2060 blow both the opus out the way and my budget is roughly £700 so ? or im i wrong

 

[stevenjemint]

the RTX2060 would be significantly better than both those GPUs yes. Get that in there if you can (but you shouldnt pay more than £360 for one, they are £329 direct from nvidia with board partners, the ones not gouging you, at about £329 - £360)

get Team Vulcan T-Force 8GB (2x 4GB) 3000MHz DDR4 RAM for the exact same price as 1 x Corsair Vengeance LPX 8GB (2x 4GB) 2666MHz DDR4

that would leave me with

1 x Fractal Design Define Mini C Gaming Case - Black
1 x MSI B450M GAMING PLUS AMD Socket AM4 Motherboard
1 x AMD Ryzen 5 2600 3.4GHz Hexa Core (Socket AM4) CPU
1 x Team Vulcan T-Force 8GB (2x 4GB) 3000MHz DDR4 RAM

1 x Crucial MX500 250GB 2.5" SATA III SSD
1 x Western Digital Blue 1TB SATA III 3.5" Hard Drive
1 x 3 Year Collect & Return warranty
1 x Xigmatek CY120 3-Pack 120mm RGB Fans with Controller

for £708.01

is that pretty good value, and quite future proof, i want to be gaming at 1080p 60 - 144fps. maybe upgrade to 1440p later on

 

[stevenjemint]

The RTX2060 should handle that fine.

If you need to upgrade the CPU in the future you can as the next gen of Ryzens will be the same socket fitment.

for that figure it looks like a good deal.
