Need help figuring out if this build is good

[ShanGaming]

Hi,

I was wondering if this pc build is good.

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/RdtN9W

I'm trying to keep it under $650 and I want to play games but I'm not a hardcore gamer. Like I'll play GTA V, CSGO, Watch Dogs 2 and games like that. I will also use Autodesk programs and stuff like that. I really don't want to change the motherboard and the case because they look good together. If there is anything I should change, please tell me.

And if there are alternatives for the motherboard and the case please tell me.

Thanks.

Change your CPU to G4560 and change your GPU to RX 470 or RX 480.

Is the G4560 good for 3D animation and rendering?

 

[lakimens]

The G4560 isn't good for 3D animation and rendering, but neither is the 7100. The G4560 is just a tad bit slower than the 7100.
Here's the new build with 6500 and RX480. You can't get 7th, because they're a bit more expensive and H110 motherboards don't work with 7th gen without a BIOS update. Also swapped the PSU, I wasn't sure if that one was good.
You were paying too much for a case.

Yeah but don't you think the rx480 is an overkill for me? Because I'm not a big gamer.

 

[IDProG]

RX 480 is not overkill for 1080p. If you play AAA and competitive titles, than you're a big gamer.

 

[lakimens]

It fits in the budget and you need it, it can max out 1080p games.

 

[ShanGaming]

Ok can you help me make a build under $700?

 

[WrektGlitch]

If you go away from Intel, and will consider AMD, check this build under $600: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/bJdJqk

 

[ShanGaming]

Is the AMD good enough for 3D animation and autodesk applications

 

[WrektGlitch]

The FX-6300 is one of the better options you can get for that budget, and still be able to perform well in other areas like gaming. It's great for a budget build to do what you want it to do.

 

[lakimens]

DO NOT BUY AMD. That CPU might get outperformed by a G4560 in games.
If you want AMD, wait for a few days, Ryzen is rumoured to announce 28th February and go on sale 2nd March.
Here's your $700 build. Only thing changed is an SSD.

[ShanGaming]

Oh I think I'm just gonna go with this build.

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/zBBxkT

 

[lakimens]

CPU is almost the same.
Better motherboard. Not that it helps performance.
Same RAM.
No SSD.
Same HDD.
Worse GPU.
More expensive case. Better, yes, but it doesn't help performance.
Worse PSU.

 

[ShanGaming]

The PSU is worse?

[ShanGaming]

Oh so I should just go with the Seasonic then

 

[lakimens]

Yeah.
Your build will perform worse, because of an unnecessary case and motherboard.

 

[ShanGaming]

How the only thing worse is the gpu

 

[lakimens]

You also don't have an SSD, which is very important for working.

 

[ShanGaming]

Yeah I'm gonna get one like in a month or two cause I don't have the extra cash.

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/gVN2Z8

I changed the psu to this

 

[lakimens]

Yeah, that's great.

 

[ShanGaming]

I might change the color of the case to black and it's $10 cheaper

 

[lakimens]

Since you are paying that much for a case, you better like it.

 

[ShanGaming]

It looks pretty good and the cable management looks easier to do on this case. What cases do you think is better then that case
