Hi!
I am currently using a prebuilt PC from 2014 with:
- GeForce GTX 760
- Intel(R) Core i7-4770
- 12GB RAM
Ever since late 2016 I noticed that my system is getting a little bit old when I had to turn down graphics in a lot of games, often playing them at 720p for the sake of fluid gameplay. These games include for example Far Cry 4, The Witcher 3 (didn't even bother with that, I have had it in my library since a sale in 2017 and never installed it) and Fallout 4.
I've passed on buying a lot of games because I knew I wouldn't be able to enjoy them and now, finally, I made up my mind on the topic of "getting a new PC".
I did a bit of research in terms of CPU - MoBo - GPU compatibility and so on, but I'm likely to have overlooked something.
I would love to get some feedback from more experienced builders (is that the term?) regarding my idea.
Is everything compatible? What's the situation on Ryzen CPUs and motherboard chipsets right now? Do I have to buy any additional hardware like cables? And so on.
If It's possible to shave off some bucks, that would be nice, too.
This is my idea of a build: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/wXwRV6
AMD Ryzen 5 2600 2.4GHz 6C (would a R5 1600 work?)
MSI - X470 GAMING PLUS ATX AM4 MoBo (X370 with R5 2600?)
Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1070 8GB G1
Corsair - Vengeance LPX 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4-2400
Corsair - 300R ATX Mid Tower Case
Corsair - CXM 550W 80+ Bronze Semi-Modular ATX PSU
And of course:
SSD, HDD, an optical drive and Windows 10 Home, but I'm fairly certain I can choose these on my own
I hope this post isn't too loaded, I'm just nervous about expensive things like these.
Again, I appreciate every bit of feedback, thanks in advance.
