Hello so I ordered this system on the 2nd this month and it arrived within a day.
CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 2400G - 205$
Motherboard: MSI B350M Mortar - 107$
RAM: G.SKILL TridentZ 3200MHz 16CL (2x8GB) (237$)
Case: Aigo m/ATX - 34$ (not sure if mATX or ATX, either way it seems capable of fitting a 310mm or so card within a couple of cm distance from the front fans)
PSU: Coolermaster Masterwatt Lite 80Plus 500W 47$
Storage: Samsung 850 EVO 250GB SATA3 - 596RMB 94$
Storage: Seagate Barracuda 1TB 7200RPM (42$)
However as expected the motherboard needed a BIOS update and I'm still waiting for it to be shipped back to me from the factory.
I just got the system and haven't even had the chance to run it yet, but I have already started thinking about the ideal GPU for it. My monitor is 1080p 144Hz FreeSync. Given the local GPU prices (later in the post) what would make the most sense? I really like smoothness and any stuttering is a huge no-no so FreeSync sounds really appealing if it really is as good as people hail it to be.
I aim at Max Settings 1080p in relatively modern non-FPS (mostly RPG and MMORPG) titles whilst maintaining around 80-90FPS average with almost no dips below 60 if possible.
I'm also concerned about the PSU with some of the higher-end cards on the list. I've read conflicting opinions on how far 500W can take me. And lastly, yes I picked almost entirely MSI cards for Nvidia, I love their design too much and the price isn't too different from competitors. I might be buying as soon as 3 weeks from now, so I don't expect prices to change too drastically (unfortunately).
