Is this build good enough to play modern and upcoming games at 1080p?

SMSIndia · Apr 29, 2017

I'm in a budget of around rs.45000 Indian Rupees..I am still in school (16years old) so i am not a heavy gamer but i still i spend atleast 2-3 hours in gaming.So, according to my budget i have piled up my parts.They are:-

CPU:-i5 6402p (Rs.14,350/-)

GPU:- EVGA GTX 1050Ti 4GB SUPER CLOCKED:- (Rs.10,475/-)

Mobo:- MSI H110M-PRO VH PLUS (Rs.4,145/)

RAM:- Corsair Vengeance 8GB DDR4 2400MHz (rs.4,465/-)

HDD:- WD Blue Desktop 1TB Internal Hard Drive (WD10EZEX) (Rs.3598/-)

Case:-CIRCLE MINI TOWER CABINET (ATX) - CC 819 BLACK (Rs.2650/-)

PSU:- CORSAIR SMPS VS550 - 550 WATT PSU WITH ACIVE PFC (Rs.3410)
OR
CORSAIR SMPS VS450 - 450 WATT PSU WITH ACTIVE PFC (Rs.2400/-)

And a 1080p monitor at Rs.6119.

So, should i buy the 450W PSU or get a 550W??
Also, is the config of this pc good enough to get me a decent amount of FPS in High Settings for the games that are released nowadays??
P.S:- i can't afford a 1060 3gb or a RX470 4GB at this moment as i am saving for a SSD later. Also,i need the PC for my studies as well other than gaming.
So, is this PC good enough for my gaming needs??

Thanks,
Greetings from India!!

For gaming you want to maximize your GPU performance until the point the CPU holds it back. The i5-6402P overpowers the GTX 1050 Ti so I suggest that you drop the CPU down to the Pentium G4560 and improve your GPU from the GTX 1050 Ti to the GTX 1060-3GB or the RX 470 or RX 570. This will have your GPU overpowering your CPU a little bit and is a more balanced build and it will be a faster gamer. The mobo is better as well with better thermals and more connectivity.

The build is future proof in that you have a brand new socket (LGA 1151) and as long as four threads is sufficient, you will be okay. But if it isn't then you would have to go to an i7 to get more and your budget won't allow for that. But at some later point if you do need an i7 then your investment in your CPU isn't nearly as much as an i5.

If you can I would stay away from the VS series from Corsair, really poor PSU's. That is why I changed to the Antec, not a great PSU but better. If you want to provide a list of available PSU's from your vendor (or websites) I can tell you which one is the best. Here is the Antec from Prime ABGB, only about 300 Rupees more but well worth it (thanks for the website by the way, didn't know this one). Don't skimp on your PSU, it is a common mistake new builders make. It impacts system stability, system longevity and if a poor PSU fails it can destroy your entire system.

FYI, I chose the Seagate Barracuda because it is a bit faster and with no SSD this might be worth considering. Only 200 more Rupees.
