Hi there!

I'm building a low budget pc (€1000) for a friend I check'ed most of the parts for compatibility.
If you would change anything or if you like it plz leave a comment :).

The build:

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


I left the HDD and cpu cooler out these will be bought later.
Price total + delivery transactions: €1000,70 (this is the price from a dutch webshop)
 
just in opinion if you are building a new pc I would go NVidia for the gpu like a 1060 or something only because from someone whos only had amd gpus , most of these games are NVidia sponsored titles and therefore run better on NVidia. the rx 480 is a stronger card than the 1060 yet that card always performs better than mine except in like doom. other than that looks great :) btw I'm by no means trying to talk you out of the amd card I'm just giving my experiences and sharing them.
 


Well as a mather of fact I just changed out the RX570 for the Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1060 6GB Windforce OC wich was only €30 more ^^
 


Perfect lol. What a coincidence

 


Yeah I have a bit more money left because I swapped the 7600k for the 7600. Total price is still under the €1000 😀
 


Not yet I'm on a budget and I found the H110 for €75. I was trying to find another one with wifi supported but couldn't find one in the same price class

 


Oke I have an idea, i'm going to drop the hdd for now which gives me some more room to pick up one of these
Asrock Z270M-ITX/ac. which also gives me room to go from the i5 7600 to the 7600K.
 


So are you from holland or germany?

Anyway, my recommendation is always the same

This is definitely a high end PC, not a budget PC and therfore you have to get A GOOD GRAPHICS CARD if possible, a 1070 would be a perfect fit. But We'd need to get rid of the SSD

Also you can downgrade the CPU to a ryzen 5 1400, it won't make a significant diffence in 60 hz gaming though it will be cheaper and somewhat better in games that use more than 4 cores

As a result, you also need to chage to motherboard, any B350 mobo is going to be fine

and finally I would't buy mini ITX stuff is more expensibve and doesn't make any difference in space
 




I'm from Belgium. A 1070 would cut close to half of my budget ( €1000). The mobo needs wifi wich isn't available yet on B350. So I can't use AMD. And the cheapest Z270 is an MINI-ITX.

+ the moment you posted I changed up my build with a new mobo. (the Z270)
 


Look what I got for 930 euros, you could even fit an M.2 SSD or a better CPU

A 1080 would increase the price to $1050 but still possible and a really good idea

It is a nice build but the mobo has no wifi and that is what I need there is no cable available.
 


If you are playing online you should know that is is a complete nightmare.



Either way, I think you have a little bit of headroom for a wifi motherboard or you can just get a cable, it won't be more expensive yet you take "more advantage" of your PC
 


There is no cable available. So wifi it is. Sad face.
 


ok
