<$1000 budget if possible core i5 7600 build. need help

drupe2 · Nov 1, 2017

1'st build at 62. I am looking at core i5 7600, ASRock (H270 Pro4), EVGA 1050... not sure on the graphic card. I am a light gamer, though nothing serious like call of duty. I need help RAM 2 x 8 DDR4. Thinking about a Corsair 200R case as I like the look. I have a 1 TB Samsung EVO SSD and OS. I've been told that the EVGA 450 B power supply should work great. Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Why I5-7600... I5-8400 is the one for Intel or pick Ryzen. 1 TB SSD, fortune! EVGA 450B not very good.

Picked 1050 ti since it is the budget gaming GPU. Depending on your gaming needs and games you play, get
1060 6gb if 1080p ultra 60+FPS
1070 if 1080p ultra 144+ FPS
1080 if 2k ultra 100+ FPS
1080ti if 4k 60 FPS

Vapour, Wow. That was quick and very much appreciated. This retired disabled vet is in your debt.

vapour · Nov 1, 2017

You're welcome. What games do you play?

drupe2 · Nov 1, 2017

Minecraft, everquest2, and a few games on steam that are war game related

vapour · Nov 1, 2017

Both builds will be more than enough for your purpose, but I suggest you get a 1060 6gb instead of 1050 ti. Then you are covered for 1080p gaming.

Many thanks. Carey Holzman's youtube channel convinced me to do my own build. I have been checking out possibilities for over a month since my primary PC died. I almost folded and bought a prepackaged Dell again, but this time I wanted something better. I wanted something I put together myself with a little help from some friends. I do have a degree in science (info systems). I should have walked in the door instead of just looking in at the tech side of things. Well wish me luck.

vapour · Nov 1, 2017

Good luck and let me know which one you will go with. Come back with any questions you may have

drupe2 · Nov 4, 2017

I think the 1050 ti is what I will go with, and even that may be more then what I will actually need unless you think otherwise. Not to mention it's $100.00 less, and I don't do a a lot of serious gaming. Not that money is a real issue, it's just I do want to waste. Here is my shopping list so far.
(Bundled at New Egg - Processor & Motherboard): Core i5-8400 2.8GHz 6-Core: MSI - Z370-A PRO ATX LGA1151
RAM: G.Skill - Ripjaws V Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR4-3200
Video Card: EVGA - GeForce GTX 1050 ti or EVGA - GeForce GTX 1060 6gb
Case: Corsair - 200R ATX Mid Tower
Do you think the 620 watt power supply can handle the load?

vapour · Nov 4, 2017

620 can even handle 1080 ti

good choice.

drupe2 · Nov 4, 2017

I have a friend who think s bigger is better for the power supply, and smaller is better for the graphics card. I think we have a winner. I also liked the Corsair Carbide Series SPEC-02 case. also, does the i5 come with a cooler? if not what one do you suggest?

vapour · Nov 4, 2017

Pick any case you like just make sure it is consistent with mb size like ATX or mATX. I5 comes with a stick cooler and will be enough for locked CPU

drupe2 · Nov 4, 2017

I wish there was something I could do to repay you for your support and your kindness. It will take a few days, but I will keep you posted on the build. Thanks again. Rupe.

But Jan or Feb is such a long time away. I am here using an old IMAC that I just pulled out of moth balls and loaded win7 on. It is slow and I don't even have bootcamp loaded up on it. It has been so long that I don't even remember how to do it lol. It was a good pc back when I got it. never used it much as a mac. a friend talked me into it. I am going to hold out as long as possible, but I am going stir crazy.

vapour · Nov 14, 2017

Hold on, mate

I have been looking at the core i3 8350k. for my casual gaming it is looking pretty good. took a look at the reviews on techspot where they review the i3 8350k, i3 8100 as well as other intel and ryzen products. The review covers features I will never come close to. I may play Civilization VI and Minecraft, but that is about all. Nothing to serious, just two player games with computer AI's in Civ VI. I also like the old games like Empire Earth when I can get them to work, but not the new games like call of duty. I just want to keep this old brain of mine active.
