I need help with my build

elbertembelino27 · Jan 13, 2018

Hi Guys,

Good day!
I am not a computer savvy at all, and I really need to have some advice.
Most of the items listed here are stuff I've researched and bought.

GPU: Zotac GeForce GTX 1050 Ti OC Edition 4GB 128-bit GDDR5 (ZT-P10510B-10L).
CPU: AMD Ryzen 3 1300X 3.5GHz 8MB.
Mboard: GA-A320M-DS2.
RAM: Hyper Fury X (1x8) DDR4-2400mhz.
HDD: ------> No idea. Please advise.
SSD: Samsung 850 EVO 250GB 2.5-Inch SATA III (6GB/s) Internal SSD
PSU: Seasonic S12II-520 Bronze 80Plus Power Supply 520watts
Case: Rakk Hawani Gaming Case Black (Mid tower)
OS: Clean Version Of Windows 10 Home 64-Bit x86.
Fans: ------> No idea. Please advise how many fans can I connect with my build.
Monitor: ----> No idea. Preferably 21" only.

A. Is my build good enough to play online games (PUBG, Dota2, CSGO, etc.)?
B. Do I need to adjust some of my items listed?
C. I need your suggestions what should I buy for my HDD, Fans and Monitor.

Any suggestions/recommendations would be great!
Many thanks in advance.

1) At 1080p, it should work decent. If you can afford, go for the 1060 6GB. Better FPS for 1080p. What is youe budget? Perhaps I could suggest some alternative.

2) Get dual channel RAM for your build as dual channel is better than single.
Your CPU does not come with a Fan and you need to buy an aftermarket one. Unless you are doing overclocking, I recommend you step it down to a Ryzen 3 1200 as it comes with a stock fan that is good enough.

3) That motherboard has space for two fans. One for your CPU and one Case fan. Therefore, you can only connect two fans. From what I see, the case comes with no fans.
So this should be good:

Comment: I'm sorry but I'm on a tight budget so I could just afford this 1050Ti 4GB. I'm open for some alternative tho.

2) Get dual channel RAM for your build as dual channel is better than single.
Your CPU does not come with a Fan and you need to buy an aftermarket one. Unless you are doing overclocking, I recommend you step it down to a Ryzen 3 1200 as it comes with a stock fan that is good enough.
Comment: As of the moment I can only afford single channel RAM. Will this work well? Ow, I just realised that Ryzen 3 1300x don't a stock fan!

Unfortunately, I can't replace it now with R3 1200. Will just not overclock for a time being.

Comment: I see. My CPU case can accommodate 6 fans. Can I connect 6 fans in it?

1) You cannot run a CPU without a CPU fan, it is simply going to be too hot. You need to get a CPU Fan ASAP or risk overheating or frying your system.

2) The 1050ti is the best choice for now.

3) Your Case can handle 6 FANS, but your motherboard only has the connections for two fans, meaning it can only power 2 fans. Any others have to be plugged into the PSU directly.

4) Single channel is fine for now.

1. Will definitely buy a fan ASAP!

2. Is it okay to connect 5 fans into the PSU? Is this gonna be problem?

3. Noted on this. Thanks.

elbertembelino27 :

I have only ever connected 2 fans at maximum to a PSU so I do not know how 5 will work out. You would need splitter cables and molex as well as converter cables so I recommend you stick to 2 fans for now (Your CPU fan and 1 case fan) and connect a maximum of 2 fans to the PSU.

elbertembelino27 · Jan 14, 2018

Can you please suggest 2 fans that i will connect directly to my PSU? I like LED fans only tho.

ArchitSahu · Jan 14, 2018

elbertembelino27 :

Any fan should work. Pick what you like. But get the fans after you build the system, so that you know what converters and cables you need to buy.
