[SOLVED] Is my build any good?

[thezemmer]

Hello guys,

I am a PC building noob. So I've researched quite a bit and the build that I like to go with is this one.

build: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/jxBT9J

I don't want overclocking. I also want to stay under a 1300, $/€ budget

Any recommendations or tips?

Thanks in advance

If you would take an AM4 motherboard with the ryzen 5 2600x then you can get a 1070Ti wich gives you more performance than the I7 8700 for 400 dollars.

Lot more powerful than GTX1060 setup around 100% more powerful which is extremely huge gain.
Skipped on HDD for now as you can add it later.

@OP, the mobo you chose is pretty expensive for a "B" series board.

I wouldn't recommend the Kingston A400. Have you looked into the price of a Crucial MX500?

Question from thezemmer : "Help with my PC build"

Hallo pc veterans,

I myself am a noob at pc building
Is my build any good, you think? And can I in any way try to make it cheaper without dropping too much performance? I like to hear your opinion on the matter.

pc build: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/Ds76Ft

I appreciate all help and feedback.

Thanks in advance.

If you are aiming at 144hz gaming, I would suggest the 9600k in a z390 mobo. So that's a cpu /mobo change.

How much more does a 1070ti costs? If the difference isn't much, get the 1070ti.

There are a few 1070 Ti on sale on Newegg for under 400.

Question from thezemmer : "PC build help last parts"

Hello guys,

I'm new to pc building. I picked my components so that it is good for gaming, but as a software engineering student I would also like to be able to program & do some video editing.

Here is my build:

partpicker: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/mXyCV6

The only parts I am not quite sure about are the cooler and the case itself. Maybe also the motherboard because my knowledge about those is fairly limited. (I just wanted an ATX)
Since you guys have the know-how, is this build any good? What changes would you make?

I like to not spend much more than 1200€/$. Any help is appreciated.
Thank you in advance.

(sorry for bad english)

That is a perfectly good PC. Everything is compatible and there shouldn't be much bottlenecking, if at all. The cooler is excellent, and the case will fit everything.

Try the cooler that comes with the Ryzen 2600 before you buy that aftermarket one. The stock cooler is quite good. Might save you $60.

You don't NEED X470 unless you plan to do dual-GPU. Otherwise B450 will do everything you need.

Are you in the USA, or Europe?

RX 2600 = $165

Gigabyte B450M Aorus = $85

MSI GTX1070Ti = $380

Phanteks P300 = $40

Crucial MX500 500GB = $67

Seagate 4TB = $100 (big 256MB cache)

G.Skill 2x8GB DDR4-3000 = $97

Corsair TX650M = $50 You can read JonnyGuru's Review of the 750W model here

Total = $985 For the same or better components. $255 saved!!!

Question from thezemmer : "Rate my FIRST pc build"

Hello guys,

I want to build a PC for some pretty nice gaming. But I also like to program, do some rendering & streaming maybe.
I am trying to stay under €1200 because I also still need a monitor which are quite expensive.

These are my parts: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/2L69QZ

What do you guys think? What would you change?

by the way my case is actually the "Corsair Carbide Series 270R".
(couldn't find it in partpicker, sorry)

Thank you in advance!
All help is appreciated.

Change the SSD to a Samsung 860 , that Kingston is poor quality. Nice setup.

Question from thezemmer : "Finilizing PC build (need YOUR opinon)"

Hello guys,

I am building a pc and I am finishing my list. I am a software engineering student. Aside from some gaming I would like to be able to program (heavy stuff), render and maybe stream in the future.

partpicker: https://pcpartpicker.com/user/KenoZakesy/saved/DgdTBm

Since this is my first PC I would like to know what you guys think of it. Is it any good in your opinion? because I think it is, I'm just unsure. I am trying to stay around (preferablely under) 1200€/$. Furthermore what would you change if you where building something similar?
Also how long do you think a build like this stays relevant?

Thanks for reading and in advance for answering.

PS: what are some good & cheap 1080P monitors? since I don't have one yet.
PSS: should my motherboard be the Plus or pro Version? I could't find the difference.
