Is this GAMING PC good?

[Baddern]

I am getting a new pc, so I was wondering if those components are good:

Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4 3000 MHZ 2x4 GB
Gigabyte Radeon RX 480 4 GB G1
MSI Z270 Gaming plus
Seagate Barracuda 1 TB
CX600M 600W
ZALMAN N1 NEO
Intel Core I3-7100 3.9 Ghz

Not a good configuration. Whats your budget and location???

 

[ARICH5]

most new gaming rigs are moving to ssd storage or m.2
a 2core i3 is kinda weak for a 480 to stretch its legs in games needing 2+ gb of vram.

 

[Hellfire13]

Actually 7100 is not too ahead of 4560 which is half the price. Not to mention the z270 board which is a waste of money.

Yes but I have the z270 board for future upgrades.

Which of these parts do you already have, and what is the rest of your budget like???

I dont have any of these parts, this is my first gaming pc, also my budget is 870 $

Also I live in Norway so some prices can be different for me if you dont use this website to tell me parts to buy: http://www.prisjakt.no

Google translate doesnt work on that website. However since you have listed $870, this is what you should be looking for. I have kept around $200 price leverage so that the difference in price can be adjusted.

Instead of the i5-6500 should I get the i5-7500, its a bit cheaper.

 

[Hellfire13]

Yes, but then you have to get a B250 board. As you might need a skylake chip to update the B150 board with the 7500, else it wont work.

Dont know why but that is over my budget here in Norway.

It costs more than the build I made.

 

[ARICH5]

you can start with a skylake in a b250 board, then bios update to a kabylake. but you need the skylake first. skip that and install a kabylake first.

Not sure about Norway pricing but if it helps, i can create a parts list in PCPP UK. Other than that, that website you listed cannot be translated, so you have to provide some alternate website. I would suggest you to check on other websites as well like... Komplett.no, MPX.no, Multicom.no, Harddisk.no, etc...

But the build I made, isnt it good enough for the price? (atleast here in Norway).
I dont care about getting as much as I can for the money right now, I just want a PC to play games on the highest setting, if not on the secong highest setting.

 

[Hellfire13]

Are you sure the Z270 board you have listed costs less than all the B250 boards???

 

[Chinokun802]

i would like to recommend this build for you

Intel core i5 7500
Gigabyte B250M-HD3
Kingston HyperX Fury 2666Mhz 2x8Gb
Gigabyte Gtx1070 G1 Gaming 8Gb
Seagate Barracuda 1Tb
Samsung 850Evo 250Gb
Evga Supernova 600W+80Gold Modular

 

[Chinokun802]

by the way, if you are running a RX480 you might get i5 or above cause its bottleneck, and i3 doesnt need Z270 motherboard,its such a wasted money

I am gonna say this again, I am buying that board for further upgrades down the road when I can afford to get a new cpu.

 

[Hellfire13]

Then you are ok with this build. Just change the psu to a better one. The CX600M is not good quality. Get the 450M or 550M or 650M.
