Need Build Modified

[Chaos Vortex]

I will be using this build primarily for playing Overwatch and other low end games. I plan on upgrading the GPU and monitor down the line but for now it will suffice. If you're going to modify it, please make it cheaper. Thanks!

Twice your listed ram, better cooler, slightly better ssd, cpu is equitable but on that B250 can be later upgraded to an i7 easily, gpu is getting replaced later, but is actually clocked higher than the Gaming X, since you'll be replacing the gpu, no point in bailing out on an excellent choice psu that'll also handle the upgraded gpu.

Oh, and it's still cheaper than your listed build, with the newer components.

Edit. Or it was till you changed it. The problem you'll run into is you'll need to replace the psu when you upgrade the gpu, and that single stick of ram will most likely be an issue, adding ram may or may not work, but in anything ram heavy, 8gb single channel is going to be a 3-legged dog of a bottleneck.

It's better and cheaper to buy something just 1 time, than having to repurchase better in order to accommodate the upgrades. You'll have wasted @$120 or so. Easy enough to get most of your money back selling a gpu/cpu but the psu will be iffy, as will a single stick of 2133. That 21" AOC monitor will be just fine as a secondary monitor, so I'd not sell it, but just add another when you upgrade the gpu.

So here's my suggestion. I made it current generation pentium like the post before me. I didn't include a cooler as the CPU comes with one. I used 2x4 sticks of ram for dual channel mode. I picked a gpu that was less expensive because I own one and it performs great. An Ssd that I also own that works well. A decent Psu for when you upgrade and finally a different keyboard because I have the devastator 2 and even though the keys feel good to type on the backlighting is dim and the print on the keys are very light and hard to see.

The problem you'll run into is you'll need to replace the psu when you upgrade the gpu

He probably could get away with using that PSU with a higher-end GPU. Even something like a GTX 1080 shouldn't draw much more than 200 watts under load, and the rest of that system shouldn't need much power, so it would likely remain stable. If he's trying to reduce the build cost, then switching to a gold-efficiency power supply might not be an ideal use of funds. Something like one of these might still be an improvement over his existing PSU choice though, and also happens to have a similarly low price after rebate...

I picked a gpu that was less expensive because I own one and it performs great.

It's worth pointing out that the others offer dual-fan coolers though, which at the very least might be a bit quieter under load.

Even though the CXM 450W comes with a single pcie capable of 2x 6+2pin, I'd not use it to power something like a Evga 1080 FTW, or even any 1080ti. OP stated he's replacing the 1050ti, so I was figuring on at least a 1070/1080 or possibly a Vega (unknown power requirements), so a quality 550w made much more sense. With the 450w you'll seriously stretch the psu limits with any gpu upgrade (other than to a 1060), basically requiring a further purchase of a larger psu. That's wasted money over the $20 original savings. There's also no real comparison in quality between the Evga G2 and a corsair CXM. For honest use of a 1070/1080 op really will need the power and threads offered by an i7, especially in thread heavy games like BF1 or Battlefront, that pentium will just bottleneck a 1080 easily under those conditions, so I also took that possibility into consideration, so added the cooler and kept the better psu. Just tried to limit the amount of swapping necessary as that'll require loss of cash in the trade. Same reason for 16Gb of ram vrs 8, there's no guarantee that any additional ram later will work without at least voltage or timing relaxes, which just makes everything suffer a performance hit.
Better to have a good, solid core than have to keep upgrading everything but the mobo just to eliminate bottlenecks later.

Oh, and while an excellent psu, that S12-II is an older group regulated design (not DC/DC) with only 40A on the 12v rail with a 6+2/6pin pcie, so could limit gpu choices later (it's a single rail psu same as the M12-II, still haven't figured out why Seasonic shows 12v1 and 12v2 specs)

 

[jpe1701]

I agree there's no comparison between the cx550m and the Evga g2 550, but jonnyguru has a decent review on the newer version. I used 550 too not 450 for the same reasons. And I figured that since the op had chosen a non overclocking board the cooler wouldn't be needed because the upgrade would probably be a non k CPU. But yeah 16gb of ram would be better now rather than having to buy another full kit later.
