My first PC

Dramirez · May 25, 2017

Hello, I am looking to build my first pc setup here soon and I was just needing some advice. I've done loads of research and I am still all over the place. My budget is around 500, BUT my friend gave me some parts to build around. The parts I have are, an optical drive, case, wifi receiver and 8gb of ddr4 RAM.ft I just need a compatible CPU and mobo. Just for further info the main games I will be focusing on are H1Z1 and battlegrounds. Thank you in advance!

Edit: I apologize, I should have been more specific. The parts listed are the ONLY parts I have. Optical drive is just a usb Targus, RAM is 8gb ddr4 Hyperx Fury 2133, Case is a zalman neo z1. Thank you for the answers!.

A bit over budet, but will do an awesome job, CPU is 4C/8T. Basically an underclocked i7.

Dramirez :

could you elaborate a bit more on the parts you do have? (i.e. case brand and model, RAM brand and model) Is the WiFi receiver you reference something that plugs into the PC or into a DSL Modem, Cable Modem, etc? Do have a mouse and keyboard? What about monitor? If Yes to monitor, what brand and model?

Wow, thank you for the responsiveness. Will the Pentium be enough for H1 and Battlegrounds?

shrapnel_indie · May 25, 2017

Dramirez :

I think it will be close. This Pentium is hyper-threaded which helps out a bunch in bringing it pretty close (too close?) to an i3 in performance.

Now, this one will add a little more breathing room in the CPU... and 1080p doesn't suffer a great amount.

Didn't realize you need an HDD, thought I read that you had one.
Just dropped the RX580 to an RX570 4GB.
Do not get the G4560, it's a much lower tier CPU than this.
The i5-7500 is good, but the GPU coming with that build is much slower(about 60%).
The extra $20 is worth it on this build.
Sorry for my false build on my first post.
