Looking for a gaming PC build in $1k

DaNTe07 · May 18, 2017

Hello,

I have the following stuff already:

PSU: 650W
SSD: 512gb
HDD: 4TB
Sound System
8GB ram
Keyboard
Mouse

I need the rest of the stuff(including desktop).

I am looking for a AMD cpu + Radeon Graphics build.

Thanks

What model is your PSU?
Do you need a monitor?
What's your purpose?
For gaming an i7 7700 would perform better than a Ryzen CPU.

Corsair VS650

yes but I have different budget for monitor.

I saw a $300 4k monitor(AOC) is it worth it? I am sure I won't be maxing the res to 4k in games but just future proofing.

Chugalug_ · May 18, 2017

Is the RAM DDR4?
Don't get that monitor, i'll show you a better deal.
You'll want to replace the VS, it can't handle the load.

There really isn't such a thing as "future proofing". 720P will still be around, 1080P will still be around, 1440P will still be around, as will 4K. You don't need to spend to get top of the line components for the predictability that it will be "future proof". You can't out guess how far technology is going to advance in 5 years. So I say if you have a budget the best thing to do is stick with it, and then if you can plan for future upgrades that's warranted but it's not always a possibility.

yep DDR 4

what deal? Is it 4k?

Actually not just for gaming, for watching movies etc too.

Thats why I wanted a 4k res screen.

go rx 580 or wait to see about vega if you want amd graphics and for the cpu id get r5 1600. not the x but the 1600 bc it overclocks really well and you can get performance out of it as well it comes with a pretty good stock cooler.

1500x vs 1600 30 dollar difference, a lot more cores , performs better, comes with great stock cooler. Me personally would not get the 1500x over the 1600.

Chugalug_ · May 19, 2017

On paper yeah it does perform better, and in terms of rendering that's true, but in gaming it doesn't make much difference, clock speed is more of a factor.

DaNTe07 · May 19, 2017

Chugalug_ :

Thanks a lot but can u edit it again as the thing is monitor will be paid for by my dad(thats why I want to get 4k)

and I am not looking to upgrade my mouse and keyboard so -$320 from this total.

Budget can be +-100

Chugalug_ · May 19, 2017

Trust me here, the keyboard and mouse is a fantastic upgrade from what you have, Cherry MX switches and the deathadder are fantastic. If you don't want to move to a mech board though that's fine.

For 4k you'd need a 1080 Ti.

Chugalug_ :

awesome thankss

can you compare this one https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824160278 with the one you mentioned? this one has 1ms response time, I know its LG vs AOC but LG has another a cheaper 4k with 5ms so I could go with this one instead? https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIAC4Z55P9872&SortField=0&SummaryType=0&PageSize=36&SelectedRating=-1&VideoOnlyMark=False&ignorebbr=1&IsFeedbackTab=true#scrollFullInfo

Chugalug_ · May 19, 2017

The AOC is TN, not a good choice.
Get the 27" LG I posted, for a bit more it's a much better experience, you get more immersion compared to 24".

DaNTe07 · May 19, 2017

Chugalug_ :

sorry, whats TN?

$50 isn't much of an issue I guess.

Chugalug_ · May 19, 2017

The AOC is a TN panel, meaning it doesn't have as good color reproduction or viewing angles, resulting in differing tones in regular use of the monitor due to vertical or horizontal displacement.

DaNTe07 · May 19, 2017

Chugalug_ :

Oh I see.. thankss

mperna21 · May 19, 2017

Chugalug_ :

no yeah I agree but why not pay the 30 and have all the extras though u know?

mperna21 · May 19, 2017

also I have the freesync aoc 144hz g2460pf. out of the box yeah brutal coloring. there is a color profile on pcminitors.com and it makes it look WAYYYYYY better to the point I'm very happy with it now. awesome monitor and the profile install is so easy. id take a look into it just incase. depends if u want high frame rates if not go for the monitor in best selected answer the lg is really good for the resolution. decide between the 2 monitors based on the games you play

Guest · May 19, 2017

Chugalug_ :

Do not, and I repeat, do not buy that case. One of the worst you can buy today. Pay an extra $20 or $30 for something much better like a Corsair 200R, but really, avoid Raidmax like the plague.

USAFRet · May 19, 2017

Chugalug_ :

That is actually not true.
TN vs IPS is FAR more a condition of the actual monitor, rather than whatever letters are at the end of the model number.

logainofhades · May 19, 2017

4k isn't worth the added cost. Get a nice 1440p monitor, and use the savings towards a better CPU. 1500x isn't something I would pair with a GTX 1080ti. A 1600x maybe.

mperna21 · May 19, 2017

can you tell us what kind of games you play? that would help a lot. if you play AAA games like me:andromeda bf 1 , rise of tomb raider games like that or dota 2 LOL cs go battlegrounds. what do you normally like?

Chugalug_ · May 19, 2017

USAFRet :

Yeah, i'm just explaining key general differences between the panels, not saying all IPSes are better than TN monitors.
