$1000 PC Budget NOOB

LTHELEGENDS29 on 03/05/2017 - 10:30

Hey guys,
I am currently looking for the best build in terms of performance for games and general use. Such as MOBA games like league of legends, CS GO etc. $1000 is my max and I can't go over. This is what I have came up so far… Hit me with the best builds and specs!
Source: PC Case Gear
PC:
Case: Deepcpp; Kendomen ATX Mid TOwer Chassis Redo
Graphics Card: Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1050 Ti OC 4GB
Processor: AMD FX-8320 8 Core Black Edition Processor
Motherboard: MSI 970A Gaming Pro Carbon Motherboard
Memory: Kingston HyperX Fury HX318C10FK2/8 8GB (2x4GB) Blue

Total: $717

    Socket AM3+ seems like a very strange choice as it's already obsolete. Low end ryzen is cheap and upgradeable.

    Your post doesn't list all the parts required such as PSU/kb/monitor, do you need those or are you reusing old parts?

    And you'd ideally want 16gb memory, I game on my laptop and sometimes the 12gb ram on that gets nearly all used when I have other stuff open along with games.

      16gb is nice but I've still never seen a game use over 8GB by itself (expect current dev builds of Cemu) and when actually tested, so don't feel like it's important compared to say, spending that money on the GPU.

      Hahahaha yeah I haven't listed everything cause Idk what else to get. I'm a total noob. I got a good onitor already, just need the best specs for a 1k PC.

    I'd get a H110 mobo and Pentium G4560 over the FX as the socket is much newer and the CPU performance won't throttle your 1050Ti. Later down the track you'll have way better upgrade options for CPU/RAM compared to the FX

      socket 1151 will be obsolete so quickly. get an AM4 imo

      • chartparker on 03/05/2017 - 16:50

        That's also good, but I thought the AM4 might have been a bit out of his budget. That said, I do think a B350 mobo + R5 1400 would be a fantastic combo

    For mine I'd be going something like this:

    Get the Ryzen CPU which will leave you room to upgrade in the future, plus has good single core and multi thread functionality.

    Also the RX480 is great value for gaming at 1080p and 1440p.

    Don't bother with the FX its single core is poor and no multi thread functionality.

    • Unrvl on 03/05/2017 - 15:46

      this is a really good list. i don't think i can do much better. get this one OP

    • chartparker on 03/05/2017 - 16:51

      You're missing a power supply, but otherwise great list

      • Unrvl on 03/05/2017 - 17:19

        nope, the PSU is integrated with the case. its not as fancy as a stand alone PSU but it will do the job reliably.

        • chartparker on 03/05/2017 - 20:19

          Fair enough. I was just going by the site which said it had no PSU

      • 4foxache on 03/05/2017 - 17:30

        Yep picked that case as includes a 500w PSU which is ok for budget build

    • KitchenSink on 03/05/2017 - 17:22

      RX580 are out which is slightly faster and I think the same or cheaper priced as the previous RX480.

      • 4foxache on 03/05/2017 - 17:31

        Not sure about pricing but they are basically rx480 overclocked, hardware the same.

        My MSI rx480 overclocks highly to pretty much rx580 speeds

      • Unrvl on 03/05/2017 - 20:34

        certainly not the same price. rx 480 4gb can be found at 260, dont think a 580 or even 570 can match that (in aus)

    • scrimshaw on 03/05/2017 - 18:21

      Hawkus, DDR4 3000mhz memory costs just as much as 2400mhz RAM, due to way RAM has increased in price due to lack of supply.

      CMK8GX4M2B3000C15 8G Kit for e.g is $99 dollars,

      and 3200mhz memory is $119

      Ryzen seems to benefit from faster RAM, from what I've read on Reddit

      and here you can see how much difference going from stock standard 2133mhz —> to 3200mhz is in Witcher 3 (Max, Hairworks off)

        No worries mate good luck, you definitely won't regret that setup and will handle pretty much everything at ultra 1080p no dramas!

  • Harold Halfprice on 03/05/2017 - 15:25

    Get a Ryzen 5 - either 1500x or 1600 with a b350 motherboard. This leaves room to upgrade in the future as well, as future ryzen CPUs will be compatible. It'll set you back an extra $100 or so for the CPU - but it'll actually perform well.

    AM3+ platform is a terrible choice. It's redundant and performs poorly.
