Looks good! My only suggestion is that you don't really need a SSD; my build doesn't have one and it works fine. I wish I'd been this smart when I built my PC, could've saved myself a couple hundred bucks!

Get a Ryzen 5 1400 if he's on budget. There's no sense in grabbing AMD FX AND an aftermarket cooler anymore.

If he think it is too expensive, drop SSD back to 120gb

Chugalug_ · Jul 17, 2017

Drop the SSD in this price range, better spent on performance.
Also the EVGA B1 PSUs are garbage, stay away.
AM3+ is also a dead platform, go for a 1060 Ryzen combo instead.
Spend a bit more, well worth it.
Performs 75% better than a 1050 Ti system.

try something like this? a bit pricey than ur build

Chugalug_ · Jul 17, 2017

BigBoomBoom :

Ryzen needs at least 3000MHz RAM to run well, the SSD can be dropped, the case is overpriced, and the PSU is really bad quality.

Chugalug_ · Jul 17, 2017

Dulith1118 :

The system only needs a low amount to run, meaning you can drop it to a S12II 430w, the RAM with Ryzen also needs to be at least 3000MHz as previously mentioned, and dual channel is preferred, as well as a decent B350 mobo with 4 RAM slots.

Chugalug_ · Jul 17, 2017

cisco001 :

Poor quality PSU, SSD can be ditched, case is too much for this price point, and RAM should be at least 3000MHz, even though 2800 is close.

HadjiPetter · Jul 17, 2017

Noted i will try to make a new one with that cpu and a gtx 1060 and what psu you recomend?

Chugalug_ · Jul 17, 2017

See the complete list I made, should sort you out completely, let me know now if you have any questions or anything that needs justification, well worth spending that bit more.
Tell your friend he can double his performance for 38 bucks extra.

The Seasonic S12II 430w is a fantastic power supply and provides more than enough power at a discounted price.
I'm off for tonight in a bit, so let me know ASAP if you need anything clarified.

HadjiPetter · Jul 17, 2017

I think this is the final:https://pcpartpicker.com/list/42tcKZ

And would this be easy for a later upgrade like in a 3-4 years?

Chugalug_ · Jul 17, 2017

If you're going to spend more, spend it on a stronger CPU since he plans to keep it for so long.
Remember, the case is just what it goes in.

What about overclocking? ( New in overclocking ) i would need to change the mobo right?
Thinking of https://pcpartpicker.com/product/Y4kwrH/msi-b350-tomahawk-atx-am4-motherboard-b350-tomahawk
And another reason is the other mobo cannot ship to my country
Also the 1060 3gb is like 100 euro more than 1050ti so i think we are gonna stick with the 1050ti

Chugalug_ · Jul 18, 2017

Oml...
IF you're not in the US, why on earth you ask for a list in US Dollars, with US pcpartpicker?
Give me a budget in Euros, ship from Germany, its cheaper.

HadjiPetter · Jul 18, 2017

Chugalug_ :

I thought that amd doesnt support 3000mhz +

Chugalug_ · Jul 18, 2017

It does, even the lower end boards do.

HadjiPetter · Jul 18, 2017

Chugalug_ :

We picked 1050ti beacues of budget and found most of the parts from amazon spain for 650 euro with shipping

Chugalug_ · Jul 18, 2017
