Need help building Pc

[krinamite]

I decided recently to get into Pc gaming, and for this I need a good pc. After looking at youtube videos, forums and websites, I decided that I should just ask other people.

My budget for my Pc is $600 (no more). With this budget I know I'm not going to be able to get the "best" Pc but I'm just looking to play games like Overwatch and that generation on good fps and decent graphics. I have three builds that I researched and I would love if you guys could give me any input or comments on them. If I should change this component here or add more RAM etc. If I should get a completely new build then, please go right ahead and link or outline the build in the comments. Including the title and total amount.

Note; when you reply to one of my builds please label which one e.g.

This will blow away all yours with a real quad core and a 1060. For $600 you should put off a SSD and add it later when you get about $100 for a crucial 300mx 275GB or Samsung 850 250GB.

Thanks for the feedback it seems really good. Do you mind linking the pc build list please Thanks

Its right above the CPU: just click on that PCPartPicker Part list. You could change the HD to the 120GB SSD if you already have an HD. The SSD tho by itself isn't enough.

Sorry to bother you again but do you know the fps I would get on max graphics in games such as Overwatch, Gta V and next-gen games?

 

[elbert]

Finding a ryzen 1200 review is hard but one with a 1060 3gb isnt possible. The R3 1200 tho overclocks the same as the 1300x so these benchmarks should give you an ideal. The 1080 used should push about twice the FPS of the 1060 so about half. At stock the 1200 should run about an equal to the 1400 in GTA5.

Overwatch must use more than 4 threads so the R5 1400 pulls ahead. Overclocking the 1200 tho should get near the i5-7400.

Elbert I just realized that since I live in Canada the prices are higher plus shipping so everything actually costs $818 after tax. That's $218 over my limit so thanks for your help but I guess I won't be able to do it.

I was wondering if you could maybe help me find a different graphics card because the one you linked my has shipping of $60 and the case is $100 so if we do that the total price is $718.

I'm buying a used 1Tb Seagate Hard drive for $40 and I do want to keep the Motherboard and CPU.

So is there a build where I keep those two things but have a different GPU, Case, RAM all around $600? Im going to get the power supply that I mentioned to you in the other comment as it's $45 here and the cheapest one.

 

[elbert]

The 430w is a poor quality version. Here is a new build with an CXM good quality power supply. It can handle upto a GTX1060. Given its 600 canaa prices you can only get a 1050ti. The full ATX version is much higher price so get the Micro instead. Leave off the HD I picked if you already got the used one.

[krinamite]

how did you get the benchmarks btw. I couldn't find them on the website. Do you mind linking them please?

 

[elbert]

They are reviews on techspot and tomshardware on the 1200 and 1300x.

Elbert I've actually been thinking of buying a Dell Optiplex then a Graphics Card and Power Supply. I came across a great deal on ebay but said it only shipped to the US. However, when I selected US and put in my Canadian Postal Code It said shipping to CA, *insert postal code* Shipping Service USP. Yet right under it the seller dosent offer international shipping.

Get a 3rd gen or newer i5 refurbished off newegg instead. You could jprobably find one about the same. I see some for $300 then put $300 in a video card and PSU I suggested.

I think I'm going with this build instead:

Second hand DELL 7010 contains:
CPU: i7-3770 3.4 GIG
RAM: 2X4 DDR3 8 GIG RAM,
HARD DRIVE: 1TB HDD 250 GIG HDD
GPU: Gigabyte GeForce GTX 660 Ti
PSU: EVGA 500B 500W 80 Plus Bronze

I got all these off ebay except for the PSU. Since I bid on them all of this cost me $271 after tax and shipping.

 

[elbert]

Not a bad haul for the price. The i7-3770 is a great CPU. The power supply is the only thing that worries me. The GTX 660ti draws a lot of power and the 500B isn't great quality. If you start seeing any issues the power supply may need a upgrade.
