Howdy Folks,
I'm attempting my first complete build. The only time I've seen the inside of a computer was back when I was around 11 or 12, my dad asked me to take his at-home work computer out back, tear it apart with a seldge and fry the hard drive, so I'm a little new to this. I've put in alot of hours of research over the past couple weeks but I'm always welcome to some outside help
I'm looking for something that I can do at home work on (I am a draftsman, use primarily Revit and some AutoCAD) as well as some light gaming. I've previously only played Starcraft and flash games on PC on my cheap laptop but once I get this up and running I'm sure the first thing I'm going to do is get some games, GTA V is more than likely first on the list. Budget started at $1000 all in but I'll be closer to $1500 by the time its done, the more I look the more I want to spend)
Enough about me, heres the part list (all prices in CAD without tax):
CPU: AMD - Ryzen 7 1700 3.0GHz 8-Core Processor ($350)
(I've already order this since I got a reasonably good deal, its on the way)
GPU: Asus - GeForce GTX 1050 Ti 4GB STRIX ($210)
MOBO: MSI - B350 PC MATE ATX AM4 Motherboard ($130)
RAM: Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 2400MHz CL16 DIMM Black ($165)
HDD: Western Digital - Caviar Blue 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive ($65)
SSD: ADATA - Premier Pro SP600 256GB 2.5" Solid State Drive ($120)
PSU: Not sure yet. Something 450+ Watts, any brand recommendations?
CASE: Cooler Master - MasterCase 5 ATX Mid Tower Case ($115)
(Already bought the case, found it on sale locally)
also need an optical drive and a wifi adapter but those I'm not too worried about, mostly concerned with my pairing of the Ryzen 7 and the Strix 1050ti, whether I would be better suited with something different in the same price range (~200 CAD)
Thanks!
