Blackzouldier · Sep 28, 2015

It's my first time building a gaming computer and i'm doing a lot of research. I would also like to know if everything in this list would be fine to each other.

PS. I'm in a budget

Thanks for your help!

Powersupply: Seasonic S12ll Bronze 520w
Motherboard: Asus B85-PRO GAMER
Processor: Intel® Core™ i5-4570
RAM: G.Skill RipJawsX 8GB (12800CL10S)

No not even close

and in fact, your budget could be better utilized by dropping to say i5-4460 and gtx 960. gaming is definitely GPU limited, a 4570 would actually power something like gtx 970 or r9 290x without bottleneck.

thanks for your answer! :bounce:

TofuLion :

haha the good thing about that is i5-4570 is cheaper than i5-4460 in our area

and jumping from gtx 750ti to 770 or 900 series is so $$$$.

anyways, thanks for answering and suggestion! :bounce:

Maybe drop to an i3 or even a Pentium G3258 and grab a 960 2GB, that's the best balance of your apparent budget IMO.

That's the build of my secondary PC (OC'd to 4.5 Ghz) and it works quite well even compared to my i5 -4690k/GTX 780 main PC. In many games I'm able to keep close to the same quality settings with a 60 Hz 1920x1200 monitor.

As far as the i5-4570 goes, the OP could pair it with ANY current GPU.

Yeah, the G3258 is a beast, I was going to get it actually until I got a bunch of cash out of nowhere for my Bday and dropped it on an MSI Z97 Gaming 7 and an i5 4690K. Might be worth stepping up to an i3 for the OP, 4 logical threads=better future-compatibility (some games even now don't run properly on 2 cores e.g. COD AW and Far Cry 4)

Thank you for all of your thoughts and suggestions. I appreciate it.

do not drop to a g3258. just get the cheapest i5 you can get and try to get a gtx950 or r7-370 or better to pair with it.
