h.alex_doll · Sep 24, 2017

I'm building my first pc and I really need some advice, is this a good budget build? Is there anything I'm missing, anything I'm obviously cheap or could save money on? Thanks. I've got the monitor,keyboard,mouse,etc.

Missing a case, 1300X is not so much upgrade to 1200, work well with 1050 ti, ram too expensive, switch to cheaper one but similar functionality, squeezed in a ssd, use it as boot drive then you will see pc flies

change to cheaper MB with good OC capability, PSU is better off with seasonic. Case you may change according to your preference, total cost is similar to your original build, but much faster.

The 1200 can't overclock well with that stock cooler. Especially so in a cheap b350.
Also, that b350 is a dual ram slot model. Would suggest you to go for 2x4gb for dual channel memory support. That's why a 4 ram slot mobo is better.
