Would this rig be good enough for most of all modern games

[enhancedmodule]

I am buying a pc and was wondering if it is good enough for most if not all modern games, I’m hoping to at least achieve 1080p 60fps minimum. Specs are: Processor:
Intel Core I5-9600K 3.7GHz (Hexa Core)

CPU Cooling:
Asetek 550LC High Performance Liquid
 
Motherboard:
MSI H310M Pro-VD

Memory:
16GB (2x8GB) DDR4
 
Primary Hard Drive:
120GB SSD
 
Secondary Hard Drive:
1TB
 
Graphics Card:
Geforce GTX 1070 8GB
 
Power Supply:
500 Watt 80 Plus
 
Build ‪https://ironsidecomputers.com/product/intel-silver/?wccp_component_selection1502291938=36416‬

^^Apparently I can’t share the build with my selected parts it just defaults to stock

In theory, yes.

BUT, I'd be extremely surprised if a budget H310 board is sufficient to run an i5-9600K.

On top of that, without knowing the specifics on the PSU, it's really impossible to say.

Is this a pre-built? If so, can you link it please?

 

[Barty1884]

The options there are pretty poor quality. It's a 500W1 from EVGA pictured as the "500W" unit, and that's pretty poor - especially when offering higher tier components like a 9600K etc.

For strictly gaming, the 8600K is a solid option.... but Ironside are only charging +$10 to go to a 9600K.... so kind of a no-brainer there.

Unfortunately, to make that system particularly "good", you'd be increasing cost.

1. You'd want a minimum of a Z370 motherboard, probably Z390.
2. The cooler proposed... is fine, but a 120mm Rad is pretty weak for a 9600K if you're interested in overclocking?
3. 120GB SSDs fill up fast - absolute minimum I'd suggest looking at would be 240-250GB
4. A 1070 is a solid card.... but they're offering a 1070TI for +$50 and a 1080 for *only* +$90, which (relatively speaking) makes the 1080 a pretty decent deal.
5. PSU, as mentioned. A quality unit is going to set you back a decent margin over the 500W1.



A very solid system..... but not convinced on the pricing from, I'll check.

Looking at prices, they're charging a >$300 markup on that system, since they'll get 'bulk' pricing on components, OS' etc.

To buy a comparable system, retail would set you back $1,300 ish.

You could go with higher quality components throughout, even bump up storage and to an RTX2070...
If you didn't want to build yourself, you could likely pay a local retailer to assemble it as a service for ~$100 or something, and still come out a couple of hundred cheaper

Eg.

To mirror Barty1884, In theory, yes.

If memory serves, the H series boards do not support overclocking so using a K CPU is wasted. It's a prebuilt with no real information on the sub components, PSU, SSD, etc. For the money, if you are not afraid of building a rig yourself, you could do better.

Alright guys thanks for the help I figured out what I gotta do bois

PM from OP

Yeah I seen couldn’t figure out how to reply, but can I still use what I picked because that’s the highest my budget currently is, is with the selected parts I chose so idk

What is your budget, exactly?

Putting the build you proposed, together on Ironside's website, it appears to be a little over $1,200?

At that point, I'd suggest it makes more sense to drop back to an 8th Gen i5 (if you want to go the intel route) and have quality components throughout - - while allowing for an assembly fee from Newegg or similar.

[enhancedmodule]

Well my budget is around 1300$

 

[Barty1884]

For $1,300 you could have the build above with an RTX 2070.... if you wanted to build it yourself.

If you wanted it assembled, many retailers will assemble for you (for a fee).... which would keep you under budget.

Obviously, there are other options too, at that build isn't the only build.... but it's an example.

Where are you located?

 

[enhancedmodule]

I live in the us in Georgia and no one near me builds PCs

 

[Barty1884]

Anywhere near Marietta or Duluth, by chance?

Microcenter have some of the best prices (especially 'in-store only' deals), and their assembly service is $150.

No where close m8 I’m gonna head to bed though feel free to reply tho and thanks a ton for your help

 

[Barty1884]

Yeah, it can be tough if you're not near a retailer with a decent assembly service.

Boutique builds exist, but do charge a sizeable markup for what you get (as demonstrated above).

FWIW, the build you posted would be capable - and would come with a warranty so, if the board cannot handle the 9600K's power requirements adequately, then you could have it repaired/replaced.... Not ideal though, as that's downtime.

If you could pick up the build you proposed, but find a way to squeeze in a Z370 or Z390 board and a better PSU, you'd be fine..... Spending a little more than strictly necessary, but fine none the less.

Or, consider building yourself - it's really not that difficult at all.
