New build. Opinions?

[matthewmeehan36]

My build - https://ie.pcpartpicker.com/list/W9ghNQ
I can get the gpu for around 100.
I have an ssd for my boot drive and i think this is a fairly balanced pc. Any suggestions to make it better?

It's balanced as far as CPU/GPU but I would change the motherboard to a B350, get faster memory if possible & I'm not too sure about that PSU.

I'm on a budget of around 600 but i might be able to stretch another 20ish. What ones could I get for that?

Is this possible?

Not really tbh i dont think i can stretch that far.

Like WildCard said, it is " balanced as far as CPU/GPU". The different mobo I would not mess with unless it is either not compatible or more expensive, but that is what I think, I am not the best with AMD Chips. The RAM "If that is what he meant by memory" I would honestly change. As long as it is DDR4, it will be fast enough. But, if you could get faster RAM for the same price, then that would be a no-brainer. The PSU Is also pretty iffy like WildCard said. If I did a build for around $600 like I am assuming this is, it would be much different, but then again, I am an NVIDIA and Intel Fan, I am not that knowledgable on the AMD Side of either CPU or GPU components. I suggest to do your research on things like the mobo, etc.

If you have any questions, I will be here!

Well the biggest concern is the PSU so if you have to get the 2666mhz memory then that's fine. I believe you can overclock on some A320 boards but I'm not sure if that's one of the ones that can, maybe newest BIOS update?

The motherboard would not allow an OC. A320 does not allow Overclocking, you were right about that. I agree, a B350 would be a good option. I say go for that chipset as opposed to A320.And also definitely get a better PSU, especially if you will be doing some Overclocking...

Probably wont be doing much overclocking even if i could. The power supply isnt great, what one would be good for this build?

What would you change?

The Seasonic I posted above is what I'd recommend. Remember, the PSU is the most important part of your build as it powers everything and a cheap unit can ruin your other parts and possibly catch on fire.

I could probably get that one.
Is that the best gpu for the build? If theres a different one id need it to be around 100 euro. idk if theres a better card for the build for the money tho.

So your original build plus that Seasonic would be a solid 1080p/60hz build. For 100 euro I don't think your going to do much better then that RX 480.

alright yea thats what i thought. my monitor is only 1080p 60hz so thats pretty good haha. Is the extra vram worth getting(4gb - 8gb)? Its more expensive

 

[WildCard999]

4gb is fine, I'm using a RX 580 4gb on a 2560x1080P screen and rarely see higher then 3gb on high settings in most games.
