Opinion on Build???

[HRFranklin0702]

Hey, I was just wondering if anyone can give me their opinion on this build...

https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/user/HarryFranklin0702/saved/NY3GXL

I know it doesn't have a graphics card but I plan to buy one after I build the computer. I'm thinking like an RX460??

Also, I plan to play games like Rocket League, Battlefield 4 and maybe GTA V at a push???

Thanks in advance!

Do not waste your money on that build.
Blackbirds is much much better.

Kaveri (the architecture your CPU uses) was crappy back in 2014 when it came out, not to mention that with that platform you have nothing but a crap upgrade path as the BEST you can get for that platform cant beat a core i3 from 2014.

Blackbirds setup will be much better then the A10 right off the bat, and gives you an actual upgrade path and should even support the next 2 releases of intel processors.

I agree with the others. Blackbirds build is a great little budget build with a clear upgrade path. Your build is just on a dead end platform.

Ditto.
You don't need an optical drive though, most stuff is USB nowadays, even windows.
Drivers should also be installed directly from the manufacturer's site rather than through discs.
Here's my suggestion.

Yep, and the rx 460 is a fine budget choice. With a g4560 and rx 460 you can definitely play gta5 and rocket league, it would have a good go at battlefield too

A GT 1030 might be a better option when it's released, set to be only a bit worse performing than the 1050, maybe between the 1050 and RX 460 for a sub $80 USD price point.
