[SOLVED] Need help with a build

[Lucaz_70]

I need help making a build for the family, I have a budget of $1700 AUD for 4 kids, 2 on gaming, one wants to be able to stream and play VR games, 1 wants to video edit and the last one is just basic overall. Personally i rather Ryzen for a CPU and i would much rather a NVIDIA GPU instead of an AMD one. Id really like it to last a while, Id much rather have 2 upgrade the CPU before the GPU, because the GPU costs alot more than the CPU

so you want in total 4 PC
2x gaming
1x video editing
1x basic

Is your budget including peripherals? with this budget, you won't be able to able to get 4 pc, maybe 2 low end alright gaming pc.

one gaming cost $782.00 w/o peripherals and os

Well, unfortunately, it's the gpus that get replaced more frequently. Cpus have a longer... 'use by date'. It has to do with the progression of the tech. Cpus have not progressed as quickly as gpus.
Intel is stupid expensive in Australia, so I have no problem recommending Ryzen.

OP was asking for more than one?
Guess I misread the initial post. Ah well, I go ahead and post my suggestion anyway...

Don't think so, think the one pc needs to cover all wishes.

Are two ssd's really necessary? For the price of the 500gb ssd can you get a 2tb hdd.With 4 kids maybe good to have some extra storage.

That is one way of making the budget work but if you have 4 kids IMO you need at least 2 different PCs otherwise you have to enforce a schedule at what times the kids can go to the PC and you can bet that they won't be too happy about that and might fight over it if they are anything like me and my sister were.

No, they aren't. I don't see the need to use them anymore now that SSDs are more affordable...

Ah hell, I'm just throwing my ideals on someone at this point. HDDs are still ok to use... I think?

 

[Vic 40]

I use only ssd's too,but with four kids i think he needs the storage.

I don't blame you. Electronics are pricey in Australia.
But in the case of yourself and the 4 kids, you need the extra storage. I've gone and edited my original list to reflect that.

I've also changed to a cheaper case.
Forewarning: A cheaper case may not always be cheaper. You pay in terms of fan quality, number of fans, and other little case features(these won't matter as much).

The cheaper storage and case allowed for enough room to bump it up a notch to an RTX 2060.
