The i3-8100 is very strong, stronger than a Ryzen 1400. I would spend the extra €20. Downside is that the CPU now will be much stronger than the GPU.

Assuming 1080p the 1050Ti may not achieve 60fps in the latest games at ‘High’ settings. The i5 7400 is ok but it’s only the equivalent of the latest i3’s and will prevent 60fps in the latest cpu heavy games.

It’s a good setup but I would much rather an i5 8400 (6 core) or a Ryzen 1500/1600 cpu.

Decent pc , a ryzen 1400 one is a tiny bit more money & id take it if possible

http://

The case isnt as nice but you're getting a current gen 8 threaded CPU & twice the hard drive space.

That budget you're absolutely limited to a 1050ti max.

& it is decent for what it is , you may not hit 60fps high settings on every game out there but any title will definitely be playable at decent settimgs.

Thanks guys,but we have one final question.
We think about getting the ryzen 1400 (The one you recommended us)- https://plasico.bg/компютър-archer-ryzen-amd-ryzen-1400-8gb-1tb-gtx-1050ti-4gb-37635.html

But in the specs,it wasn't mentioned what PSU and motherboard it has. In our country,some companies hide few specs,which may be weak. So we contacted the support and they told us the PSU and motherboard are:
PSU - A03 V-Line 600W
Motherboard - Asus H110M CS/C/SI

My question is - Are they good for that configuration ?

No. Those are garbage units they scraped of the basement floor. The H110 is a low budget board without OC capabilities nor does it have good cooling.

I'm curious what the Ryzen build has in it.

The Full Specs are;

CPU - AMD Ryzen 5 1400 4 Core (3.2 Ghz up to 3.4 Ghz, 2MB L2 Cache, 8MB L3 Cache 65W)
GPU - Nvidia GTX 1050ti 4GB DDR5
RAM - 8 GB 2133 MHz DDR4
OS - No
HDD - 1TB SATA 7200
Cooler - AMD AM4 Cooler:

Now we found the PSU and Motherboard are:
A03 V-Line 600W
Asus H110M CS/C/SI

We got to buy an optical disc drive as well

Total price: 639.78 Euro

Is it worth for that PC?
Are they are trying to scam us again?

They are telling you the wrong board model

H110 is an intel board & is wjat will be included with that i5 7400 pc

I expect the ryzen to have a low end a320 motherboard & a cheap generic psu.

The motherboard is of no concern really, it will work fine , you cant over clock on it .

The psu is slightly concerning , if the pc comes with warranty , chamgebit when the warranty is about to expire.

Is it worth €630 ??

Ryzen 1400 - €165
Gtx 1050ti - €180
8gb ddr4 ram - €80
1tb hard drive - €50

That's €480 to buy parts alone , not including case, psu or dvd drive.
Those probably equate to €50 or so.

So yeah, if you can't build your own it's worth it.
€100 is about what theyre charging , If I were building a pc I'd charge about the same

I emailed the service and support and told them the motherboard they told me is for intel and they said the real one is Asrock A320M-DGS AM4

Good enough?

As requested by PM, here is a €600 build. Links to the Bulgarian vendor are below the build. G4600 is not as nice as a Ryzen 1400 but the 1400 doesn't fit in the budget and the G4600 should keep up to the 1050 Ti, runs at about the same level as an i3-6100. And its cheaper than the G4560, go figure.

I mean, come on, €2 below budget :D
Of course GPU pricing is nuts.
