My First PC Build. So Help Me!!!

[sahilchauhandd]

I want to build a gaming pc and have made a list of all the components. Just wanted to know if I have chosen all the right parts as this is my first gaming pc build.
The parts are:
Processor - AMD Ryzen 5 2400G
Motherboard - MSI B350 Gaming Plus
RAM - HyperX Savage 8GB Kit (4GBx2) DDR4 3000 Mhz
HDD - WD WD10EZEX 1TB Internal Hard Drive (Blue)
Power Supply - Corsair VS550 550-Watt
and a Micro-ATX Case with 3 Fans.
P.S - I'm not using a graphics card. Will use RX Vega 11 which is integrated.
Is this build good or do I need to change some parts? Can I play games like GTA V, PUBG, Battlefield 1, etc at 1080p with at least 40 fps? This build is currently costing me $640 and I want to spend the money efficiently so tell me if I should get an Intel PC build with a GPU.

TBH, it's entry level.

The 2400g is a great chip for what it does, with both a very decent CPU, and an entry level (although superb integrated) GPU. But....and it's a big but! At 1080p it's really only good for low settings, with sustained FPS as you've mentioned. Check this out: https://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/amd-ryzen-5-2400g-zen-vega-cpu-gpu,5467-6.html

There are some games when it will improve, and you may get 60fps+, they will be mainly less demanding and older games. The ones you mentioned are graphically demanding. But also unless you're hitting a smooth 60fps, it won't be the best experience.

The PSU isn't fantastic. But would be okay for that build.

If you want to go Intel, you can get a comparable chip (that may perform slightly better at 1080p IPC wise - and get slightly more FPS) but you need to look at adding in a discrete GPU, like a GT1030.

What in game settings are you looking to play those games at?

Yours is a bad build TBH. You can get much more performance for 640$. Core i3 8100 plus Gtx1060 will beat Ryzen 5 2400g in every games.

+1^ I like it! Huge performance increase for the same money! Solid 1080p gaming system for a year or two.

+1 ^^ Yeah, that's solid.

I agree that for a 1080p gaming-focused build, you will be best served with a dedicated graphics card. But is that initial build in US dollars? I only get around $450-$500 USD when adding up the parts from online retailers, at least before adding in an operating system.

Even if that i3-8100/GTX 1060 build is stretching your budget a bit, you could shave some cost off of it while still getting a lot more performance than your initial build though. For example, swapping the 1060 6GB with a 1060 3GB, which is a bit slower, but still nearly as capable for 1080p gaming. Or maybe even a 1050 Ti, which is significantly slower than a 1060, but still significantly faster than the 2400G's integrated GPU. Or maybe swap the 4-core i3-8100 for a 2-core, 4-thread Pentium CPU if you had to, which might limit performance in some games, but usually graphics card performance tends to make more of a difference anyway. The build Srimasis listed is pretty good, but there are ways to reduce the cost while still providing decent 1080p performance, if needed.

I'd agree with the GPU aspect, GTX1060 3gb for pretty good 1080p results. 1050ti for medium settings whilst still hitting 60fps in a lot of games.

CPU, though, it's barely cutting muster. Basic requirements for anything new is a 4core CPU. It's really just gonna hobble the system by using a pentium now.

It's surely the best build that you can get for the money. Good luck at building your PC 😉
