Pentium g4500 will bottleneck GTX 1050. I recommend changing processor to Pentium g4600 and motherboard to AsRock H270 Pro4, so you could in future upgrade to i5 or i7 and upgrade ram to more than 32 GB. You should also change the storage to Seagate BarraCuda, because it is almost twice as faster than WD Blue and memory to Crucial Ballistix, because it looks better, so the build will look like this: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/qxQ6tJ There won't be money on dedicated graphics, but as soon as you get more money, you could buy it without worrying CPU will slow down whole system. Or alternatively you can buy used PC.

Thanks a bunch man I will definitely use these tips.

Ik3yboy02 · Jul 20, 2017

But won't no graphics card practically give me no ability to play some higher end games?

Ik3yboy02 :

Yes, you won't be able to play some very high-end games, but there are many ways you can improve the performance of integrated Intel graphics card by 10 FPS or more. What games do you plan to play?

Ik3yboy02 · Jul 20, 2017

I'm not entirely sure but one game I was wanting to play was PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds, and maybe some rainbow six siege.

Oh, that means you really need better graphics card. You need to drop to worse monitor, worse PSU, much worse cooler and worse motherboard, but everything should work: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/2yJw2R You still have choice to upgrade in future to more ram, better processor (but maximally i5, i7 could cause problems), and SSD. And try to search if you can find somewhere cheaper G4560, because they should cost 64 dollars, not 74.

Ik3yboy02 · Jul 21, 2017

I might deal hunt for a better processor and monitor and definitely get that graphics card for less but what processor should I shoot for trying to get a bargain on?

Ik3yboy02 · Jul 21, 2017

What about this build? Its over my budget but if it's better I'll just save some more. https://pcpartpicker.com/list/9ZfFNN

Ik3yboy02 :

That's a great build! It's very similar to one of mines!

BUT, I would advise you not to spend that much on the keyboard (try looking for an affordable Keyboard+Mouse bundle)

Instead, use it to get a better GPU (GTX 1050 Ti) or PSU (make sure it's 80+ Silver Certified or above) or MoBo (make sure it's the Kaby Lake version).

Edit: Here's a quick build that I did!

It's $60 cheaper, with better specs. You can even make the price lower, if you buy from the right places.

Ik3yboy02 · Jul 21, 2017

Thank you so much I will probably go with that build.

No problem! Glad to be of help!

Should I get a CPU cooler or stick with the stock cooler? What about this build? https://pcpartpicker.com/list/Xw26tJ

Maius_Reznor · Jul 22, 2017

Ik3yboy02 :

Aftermarket coolers are always 9/10 better than stock coolers. If you can afford another 20 or 30 bucks.

And that build is great, despite being $200 over your budget. You can always save up.

Lucky_SLS · Jul 23, 2017

included a good monitor too, get this build for 10 bucks more https://pcpartpicker.com/list/RWWyPs
the PSU is ok ish and the mobo is a 2 slot mobo in ur build. and going 2x4gb will give more perf cuz of dual channel. the case is also ok ish n gpu is clocked a bit slower. u dont need a custom cooler for the 1500X. the stock cooler is good enough.

Here is a much lower build price if you need to cut some corners.
