Pc Build Options

[jazgreen99]

Hi guys

I’m building my first gaming pc

My specs so far
*AMD Ryzen 3 2200G
*G.Skill F4-2666C15D-8GVR Ripjaws V 8GB
*Asus PRIME B450-PLUS
*Mushkin Source 500GB SSD

I’m not sure about the case,gpu and psu?

*Radeon RX 570 RS XXX Edition *GeForce GTX 1050 Ti

*Antec EA550G PRO
*Super Flower SF-550F14MT

I like the phanteks cases
*p300
*p400

Should I also get additional case fans

If possible get faster memory as Ryzen performs better with it. Also for the price of a 1050 ti you could probably get the RX 570 4gb which is a better GPU. Case is your choice, can't go wrong with Phanteks and for the PSU I'd get the Super Flower.

 

[jazgreen99]

Thanks a million. Well there’s a special on the rx570 included 2 games and is $90 cheaper than it’s original price so I think I’ll go for that

Should I get additional fans?
The ps400 only has 2 120mm fans 1 rear and 1 front

The stock ones are fine for now, your build shouldn't have heat issues.

Budget? Location?

 

[jazgreen99]

South Africa
Well over budget lol wanted to spend 10k max
I was told that I need a 550 powersupply and the rx570 was the best bet for gpu

A good quality 450W is sufficient for your build.

 

[jazgreen99]

Great thank you

What energy efficient must I go for?is bronze ok?the silver and gold are a lot pricer but the only 450w 80plus brands available are
Thermaltake and silverstone.

 

[WildCard999]

So with PSU's energy efficiency doesn't mean it's a good quality unit, I've actually seen better quality bronze units then gold. When picking a unit try to get something Tier 3 or better.

Great thank you

Have you herd of wootware?thats where I’m getting all my components from and they suggested a antec550g pro earth watts gold pro550w 80 plus gold certified semi modular. I just read up now that if your power supply is too big for your cpu and gpu it’s really bad. You said a 450w which sounds great but if I want to upgrade to a ryzen 5 or 7 will I have to increase my psu?

 

[WildCard999]

Never heard of it but a quick google search says its a PC store in South Africa. The Antec unit would be fine and no, having a higher wattage PSU then you need won't hurt anything.

How much R (currency?) can you spend on a PSU? I'll take a look at that site, remember; your PSU is the most important part of your build so you don't want a junk unit.

 

[jazgreen99]

Yes it’s a store in South Africa. I’m reading on this forum about psu. Well the antec is R1229 I think but it’s a lot maybe Around R800 but if I need to spend more because of value then I have too. I’m on outer vision now and I put in all the computer specs it recommended 367w and the evga 550b3 but I’m not sure if they have stock and the super flower is out of stock only 18th feb but I’m submitting my build tomorrow hopefully

 

[WildCard999]

What about this Super Flower?

[jazgreen99]

I saw that one but it’s pricey and the antec that was suggested
https://www.wootware.co.za/antec-ea550g-pro-earthwatts-gold-pro-550w-80-plus-gold-certified-semi-modular-desktop-power-supply.html. It’s actually a bargain because the bronze certified are all in there price range but the one you sent me is it good?can a psu overload your computer?
My cpu is
https://www.wootware.co.za/amd-ryzen-3-2200g-quad-core-3-5ghz-3-7ghz-turbo-socket-am4-desktop-apu.html
Which I mentioned and the gpu is
https://www.wootware.co.za/xfx-radeon-rx-570-rs-xxx-edition-rx-570p4dfd6-4gb-gddr5-256-bit-pci-e-3-0-desktop-graphics-card.html
So should 550w be ok or is it too much?

 

[WildCard999]

That Antec is fine for the build and no, a PSU can't overload the system and will only use the power required for the system. 550W is enough for the RX 570 and upgrades.

 

[jazgreen99]

I think ill go with the antec then

Thank you so much for you assistance much appreiciated 1 more thing
tell me are call of duty black ops 4,Resident Evil 2, Devil May Cry 5.Tom Clancy's The Division 2 good games and Shadow of the Tomb Raider good games?

 

[WildCard999]

I've played the 2016 version of Tomb Raider, it was good for a couple of play through's. The Division (2 isn't out yet) was excellent, I have well over 250 hours into that game. I'm not a COD player but I hear BO4 was good and DMC5 isn't out yet but the previous games were pretty fun hack N slash.

 

[jazgreen99]

i saw the trailers they all look excellent.Asus has a prom on if you purchase any motherboard or component they give you b04.another question that XfX RADEON RX50RS which was on special is no longer avaliable.are there any other gpu's you could recommend.The GIGABYTE RS 570 only has a 3 month limited warranty so im not too sure if thats a good idea.

It's because it's made for cryptocurrency mining.
