Hi,

I am interested to build a budget gaming pc at 1080p 60hz using an amd card. I have trouble deciding on which rx model to get (460, 470 or 480) and which cpu (i3 or i5)? As for mother boards, I am leaning towards a B150M as I am not planning to overclock. Reason I am looking for an amd build is because I have a freesync monitor so I thought might as well.

Games I currently play: Mobas (dota 2, lol), CS, Battlerite

Will be using this computer for these games and watching shows. If possible, recommend some models for the gpu and motherboard

Thanks!

this is as low-budget an i5, 1080p system can go.
this will get you 60 fps on high settings in most games. Ultra for older games.
the 2 TB HDD and case are on sale, so you'd have to act fast.

the 2 TB HDD is also a slow (5400 rpm) drive, though that's not necessarily a problem with the SSD

I agree with ScrewySqrl's build. It will be perfect for most games, but if you prefer playing latest AAA titles i would suggest adding a bit more cash and getting RX 470, if you don't play latest and most demanding games - stay with 1050Ti
