Need help in my First PC Build!!!

andxuk · Jun 18, 2017

Hey guys, just made my first build,
I´ll be using it to play games ( CS:GO, GTA 5, PUBG), to work in Photoshop and maybe render videos.
Just wanted to know if I made any mistake or if I can change or improve something in this build,
(my budget is around 1300$)

Thank you in advance

Decent computer parts, highly would recommend purchasing at least a 256GB SSD in-addition to your 1TB Hard Drive. They go for a very cheap price now.

Ty, like a 256GB SSD is enough or should I buy a 500 GB one, like Samsung 850 EVO 500GB?

The only game there that will hit that fast refresh is csgo (or other esport types). Normal AAA games will do better than 60fps tho in most cases.

I'd get the biggest ssd I could afford. At 500gb, you could ditch the hdd completely. I only have a 256gb in mine but it's getting pretty tight on space.

J_E_D_70 :

Ok ty for the suggestion

Mike3k24 · Jun 18, 2017

Way better build https://pcpartpicker.com/list/7pv77h

Nice build man ty

And if I could use the 1600X instead of the 1600 would it be worth it?

Mike3k24 · Jun 18, 2017

The 1600x is only better if you don't plan to overclock

Slow Pri · Jun 18, 2017

Totally got for the bigger SSD if you can afford it. 512GB is fairly cheap, I have a 512GB SSD and I've only used up like 15% of the SSD.

Mike3k24 :

I Think Im going with this build ty

just changed the EVGA 1070 to the Gigabyte one because it has more clock speed and better colling, and do you think that is Worth it to buy the MSI B350 Pro Carbon instead of the Gaming Plus?

Mike3k24 · Jun 19, 2017

I would definitely go with the gaming plus, looks cooler and seems to be one of the best b350's on the market https://youtu.be/4d7xmanMUdU

I can confirm this is true, I have a 120GB and it's always at 70% capacity.

lakimens :

I´ll buy the ssd later... really can´t afford it now but just made a few changes and the build is here https://pcpartpicker.com/list/sqkM7h really like it.. ty guys

You really don't need the cooler on the 1600.
Faster RAM, because Ryzen needs it.

Ok... no cooler.. but like I read that the best ram for Ryzen 5 and 7 was the Flare X series, and isn ´t 2400 enough?
And I´ll probably OC... should I go with 2800 or 3000?

lakimens · Jun 19, 2017

The Flare X was best for Ryzen when it was having memory compatibility problems.
Now all it needs is fast RAM. The higher the speed, the better.

Slow Pri · Jun 20, 2017

Well since you can't afford an SSD which is totally acceptable they can be expensive, the seagate 1TB drives have a 5 year warranty totally worth the money!

EDIT: Just did the maths and the prices (in Portugal) are higher... its like 1400$ not 1200$... So just made this build https://pcpartpicker.com/list/NzQrQV with a RX 580, and since the monitor has freesync i guess its nice
