Budget PC Build good for what I want?? Please help asap

Hammons_R · May 3, 2018

I want an opinion from you guys, is this a good PC to build? This is my first build ever and I need your opinion; I am on a budget. The games I'm wanting to play is Fortnite at 60 fps med-max settings. Minecraft at 100+ fps. Also games like gta 5, battlefield 1, and rainbow 6 siege. Will these specs fulfill or exceed what I am wanting to use it for?

CPU- amd r7 1700x
Motherboard- msi b350
HDD- 2 TB HGST
Graphics Card- RX 480 4GB
Power Supply- Corsair CX650M 650 Watt 80 Plus Bronze ATX Modular Power Supply
Tower- Corsair Carbide 100R

They will most likely exceed your needs. However, how did you find an rx480? Its very expensive compared to the equivalent 1060 6gb. Also, follow the gaming rule. The GPU must cost twice as much as the CPU. I would suggest a configuration like this: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/8wGCzY

I like this build... but what about the mobo??

WildCard999 · May 3, 2018

It's nothing special but Gigabyte makes good boards and this was the cheapest with four ram slots for upgrades. The Gigabyte DS3(H) boards are always good price/performance.

So that mobo should support the things I'd like it too right? I mean like it will do what I'm wanting it to well?

WildCard999 · May 3, 2018

I'd hope so, it has all the basic features as well as M.2 SSD support if you wanted to add one in later on. The only "downside" is that the CPU and motherboard are locked so no CPU overclocking however the CPU does have turbo boost and will increase performance as needed. In single core/quad core performance it even beats out the 1700 however with the Ryzen CPU's you do have the additional cores/threads for multitasking or streaming if needed.

I won't be streaming and/or recording or anything like that so i don't particularly need the multitasking.. Awesome build thank you!
