Please rate(will it work or not?) and give suggestion to this build(making it cheaper if possible on some hardware you think unnecessary without sacrificing much of the performance), i use the price in Indonesian market, I am on a budget

Intel Pentium G4560 BOX 3.5Ghz Cache 3MB - Socket 1151 KABYLAKE : US$60
SAPPHIRE NITRO+ RADEON RX 480 4G D5 OC (11260-02) US$220
Motherboard Asrock H110M-HDV - DDR4 (Socket 1151) US$68
Patriot DDR4 8GB PC19200 - Single channel US$56
XFX TS Series 550W 80+ BRONZE ( Made by Seasonic ) P1-550S-XXB9 US$69

I'm using 1 channel ram because i wanna upgrade to 2x8gb in the future.

*sorry for my English.

Thanks!

parani :

do i have to buy better ram?

i want this build to be long lasting... so i should make sure i have good quality hardware

Jonathanbp :

If you want this build to last longer I suggest that you upgrade your cpu and downgrade your gpu. That way when new gpu's come out and you need an upgrade your cpu can physically handle the newer gpu's. Right now the pentium is equivalent to an i3, which is very good for $60 but won't stand the test of time.

Jeff Baffalo :

what if im not planning to upgrade my gpu when newer gpu comes out?
you said that pentium is equivalent to an i3, so it means i have to buy better cpu than an i3 ?
and please explain why better cpu extend pc life?

by the way what i meant by long lasting build is "it wont break easily"

thankyou for your reply!

Can you check the bios version of that motherboard before you buy it?

Jonathanbp :

It is inevitable that games will become more and more difficult to run. Even if the pentium can serve you well now, In a year or two it will struggle a lot to keep up with newer demanding games. Even if you were to upgrade your gpu, to better handle newer games, your pentium will probably bottleneck the gpu's performance. So if you were to get an i5, you could comfortably upgrade your gpu without worrying as much about bottlenecking. I've had a i5 in my rig for almost 3 years now, and its performace hasn't been a problem, but I couldn't say the same for my pentium.

how about using intel I5 3470 ? will it keep up with newer games better than the pentium?
if i had to downgrade my gpu, please give me a new build specification.

i wanna ask i3 skylake & i5 sandybridge, which one is better, the sandybridge i5 has better performance(from benchmark) and cheaper. really confused
