Making a new Pc! Need some suggestions and aproval of the Build!

FireClocks · Apr 10, 2017

I'm gonna buy all the parts of a pc and then built it. I already got my i5 6500 3.2 ghZ processor.
I'm from portugal so I the components to com from EU otherwise I migh get problems and pay more then.

This are the rest of the components i have in mind:

GTX 1060 EVGA 3gb (226.60)

XFX TS, 550W (78.40)

Seagate Hard-disk ST1000DM010 Barracuda Sata III 7200rpm 64MB (47.89)

Asrock H110M-DGS Intel H110 LGA1151 Micro ATX motherboard Intel H110 LGA1151 Micro ATX (54.46)

Crucial CT2K4G4DFS8213 Arbeitsspeicher 8GB (2x 4GB, 2133MHz, CL15) DDR4-DIMM Kit (65.06)

Any recommendations in regards to this build? the case i got recommended this one but i don't like it that much, the rating was only 3 stars (https://es.pcpartpicker.com/product/4nkD4D/zalman-case-zmt3)

This pc is for gaming! I mainly only play overwatch at the moment tho! But over 120 fps in low settings would be cool

Don't get XFX TS, it got outsourced to some Chinese company. And if you're only playing Overwatch, you should go for the RX 480 instead. DX12 performance is better.

Overwatch with that build would go 70fps and higher on ultra so its a perfect cpu and gpu combo but i would reccomend getting 2 sticks of 8gb.

also PSU

Mantaliss :

Ok Awesome! The 2 sticks you mean RAM right? I think i'll buy two anyways, the 1060 3gb in terms of performace is the same of the 6gb so might aswell get the 3gb right, its much cheaper!

FireClocks · Apr 11, 2017

okcnaline :

The RX 480 is costing the same has the GTX 1060 so, in this case, shouldn't I get the GTX 1060? Also, i record my gameplay with shadowplay normally and i know it's good, i think AMD also has one but I dunno if it is has good

okcnaline · Apr 11, 2017

Oh, Shadowplay...? GTX 1060 then.

RX 480 performs better than GTX 1060 in games with DX 12 or Vulkan. Just so happens that Overwatch uses those APIs. But it's not worth getting a bit more FPS if you depend on a proprietary feature.

And DON'T get that CX 750. Would much rather you get the TS in that "case".

adiec · Apr 11, 2017

the 3gb is ok but games are starting to eat 3gb and go farther towards 4gb.. so taking a longer term view the 6gb 1060 would be of better value .. but that obviously depends on your budget and graphic detail choices .

FireClocks · Apr 11, 2017

okcnaline :

Well, if it's only like 5 fps I think I would rather go with the 1060, I think AMD has is own shadowplay version but i don't think it is has good tho, when I write DX12 in amazon it doesn't show up, can you say the full name pls? And wat case do you suggest me to buy? Thx!

directx 12 http://www.techradar.com/news/gaming/directx-12-what-is-it-and-why-it-matters-to-pc-gamers-1318636

edit: also the equivalent program to shadowplay is Relive by amd.

FireClocks · Apr 11, 2017

adiec :

Oh ok, i'll think about it then! DX12 i though it was the power supply he suggested, which I can't find, do you k a good case for me to buy? Thx

FireClocks · Apr 11, 2017

okcnaline :

So which power supply do i get? Can you suggest one

adiec · Apr 11, 2017

FireClocks :

where are you purchasing from ? and in which country are you based ? what is your budget for the psu and case ? sorry if you have already answered this .. being lazy

FireClocks · Apr 11, 2017

adiec :

I'm from Portugal, so i need the things to come from EU, I'm buying on amazon atm, cuz I can use the prime free trial and it will get here very fast, psu you mean the graphics card? I already bought a i5 6500 3.2ghz and its here with me already xp, for the graphics card i was hoping to get something like the rx 480 nitro 8gb or the GTX 1060 6gb that are costing the same atm, if they went into promotion from 290 to like 230 i would buy them rigth away xp, i also bough the processor with discount. The case i don't really know but i don't need a beautiful case, just solid one that works good and last ofc

psu - Power Supply Unit

this case is quite good and plenty of space for your graphics card . is this too expensive ? i am unsure on the euro as i am from the uk.

adiec :

The case looks very nice! It's not that expensive, thx! The power supply unit hmm, like top max 100 dolars perhaps

adiec · Apr 11, 2017

FireClocks :

talk to me in euros

being from the uk means i use £££ but i am using amazon.de to look for parts.. so euros would allow me to be more accurate

adiec · Apr 11, 2017

if you look on this thread http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/forum/id-2547993/psu-tier-list.html and look in tier 1 and tier 2 they are the highest quality power supplies and most reliable . tier 3 is ok.. anything below that .. avoid.

this psu is ok if you can find one that fits into your budget https://www.amazon.de/Seasonic-SS-520GM2-Stromversorgung-520-Watt/dp/B00HG2R3FU/ref=sr_1_7?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1491932477&sr=1-7&keywords=seasonic

be careful of any import charges . there shouldn't be any as your part of the eurozone .. but i am not 100% sure on that !

You mean the cost of shipping? Ye i'll be careful thx!

Ordering a G2 from Germany may be quite expensive.

http://es.pcpartpicker.com/product/Tc3RsY/seasonic-power-supply-ss620gm2
This is probably cheaper to buy and get imported in, I presume?

FireClocks · Apr 12, 2017

okcnaline :

It's actually cheaper which is kinda strange. Can you tell me if there's any difference between this 3 cards

okcnaline :

AMD's ReLive is just as good as ShadowPlay (I use both across my 2 setups). If anything i reckon ReLive's compression and CPU overhead might be better, but that's just my experience so far.

Quote: "AMD Radeon ReLive is a breakthrough new feature being introduced with these drivers. It lets you record or live-stream your gameplay (or pretty much anything on your screen) at minimal GPU performance cost. NVIDIA has had something like this for a while now, GeForce ShadowPlay, but AMD's implementation claims to have a lower performance impact (down to almost negligible levels) and more features." - https://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/AMD/Radeon_Crimson_ReLive_Drivers/3.html

I also agree going for a RX 480 or GTX 1060 6GB, skip the watered-down 3GB version. If you can't afford the GTX 1060 6GB, you should find RX 480 4GB around the same price as the 1060 3GB. Hope this helps

troy1960 · Apr 12, 2017

go for a corsair CX500 powersupply, and also asus B150M pro motherboard if you can.

But if I should skip the 1060 3gb version then shouldn't I skip too the RX 480 4gb version and buy the 8gb instead, the NItro is basicly costing the same has the 1060 6gb! Thx
