$1000 Black and White Budget PC Build

JacobLo2 · Feb 26, 2017

Hey guys, I am in need of a more low budget gaming pc. The pc should have a black and white themed build to help match my white desk. In the specs I would want an i7 CPU with a Cryorig H7 CPU cooler and a NZXT S340 white case. The rest is up to you. I want to spend about $1000 and don't rally want to go over that price, but I would if it is necessary. The games I want to play with 60fps on medium, high, or extra include: Battlefield 1, Rust, Conan Exiles, Overwatch and pretty much any new FPS. One last thing, I don't need any LEDs.

B250 motherboard to support the Kabylake i7 for faster clock than its Skylake counterpart.
This B250 MB also has support for two M2 slots at full PCIe 3.0 x4 bandwidth (and unlike some MB of the earlier chipset series, the B250 has enough HSIO lanes so that nothing gets disabled when the M2 slot is used with NVMe M2 SSD) and Type-C USB, and so will be compatible with nearly any new hardware for quite some time.

B250 MB+Kabylake CPU will only support upto DDR4 2400, so the Gskill 3000 will not be running at full capabilities, but was selected because the 2400Mhz variant was more expensive ($106.99).

SK hynix SL308 as the SSD with similar performance to 850 Evo while not being as expensive.
MSI Armor (as the version with a somewhat cutdown heatsink and B&W theme instead of the Gaming X/Z with B&R theme) has the better balance cooling of all components and noise.

A Seasonic Gold Semi-Modular PSU with enough wattage for any upgrades possible with this config.

Whith an unlocked i5 you should obtain even better performance (via overclocking) than a locked i7 despite the the fact that the latter cpu has hyperthreading. At this budget is really hard to squeeze the i7 because it eats most of the budget so you are better off with this overclockable i5. besides hyperthreading doesn't matter in games.

i chose the NZXT phantom to acommodate Cryorig's cooler since the s340 can't handle it... plus, it looks awesome!
