Future build parts check

Hey everyone!

By Christmas, I’ll, be ordering parts for my first PC (I’m currently playing games on a MacBook Pro lol). My parts list can be found here: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/cGLMmq

However, I have a few questions.

- will this build be able to record with OBS at 60 FPS 720p?
- will this build be able to run Windows Mixed Reality at 90 FPS?
- will this be able to stream at a nice quality?
- I’m looking for a cheaper CPU (that’ll hopefully be able to perform somewhat the same as the 2600) for under $160, are there any other options?

I’m going to be looking at running these games:

Fallout 76
Beat Saber VR
No Mans Sky
Microsoft Flight Simulator (or Xplane 11)
Overwatch
Fortnite BR

What performance should I be expecting?

Thanks!

Yes, memory speed has a direct impact on performance. Especially with Ryzen.

I would recommend going with any 2 x8GB kit from among the part numbers that are verified to work with Ryzen listed here:

BUT, realizing you are apparently working with a limited budget, I will still say that using modules that incorporate Samsung B-die ICs is STILL the best choice, even though Ryzen memory compatibility has gotten better with the B450 and X470 chipsets since the second crop of Ryzen CPUs was released. There are still...


Ok. Any recommendations on ram? And does 2400mhz compare with 3000mhz and will I notice a difference if I change my speed?

You have a solid specs. Youll get more than 60fps on 1080p/60hz monitor. And you'll be able to stream too but not too heavy since you don't have a powerful cpu. Other than that you are good for gaming at Full HD. You'll be able to hit atleast 60fps on Fortnite, overwatch etc..

Having a 8GB of ram for now is good for ur current specs. You can of course upgrade it to 16 In the future but having a 8GB for now is alright. If you can, go with 3000mhz. If not then 2600 atleast. Do not get below that so ur rams can be future proof.
 


Alright! Thanks for the insight! What CPU would you recommend? I’m looking for something with more than 4 cores, and preferably under $210.

 


You make a lot of assumptions. Mostly, unsubstantiated. Without proof, it is no more than an opinion. My opinion differs and is not in agreement. I can show proof of 8GB single RAM configurations lacking in MANY ways, not least of which is the fact that it does not meet minimum requirements for a growing number of AAA titles that gets larger by the week.

Also, the fact that recording, encoding and streaming all place huge demands on the memory resources, IN ADDITION to the actual gaming requirements, makes your assumption kind of silly looking.

Plus, a GTX 1060 is a very capable card, when you're talking about a 6GB VRAM model. The 3GB VRAM models, not so much. Even a 6GB model will have some struggles with very high or ultra settings on some titles, so to say it will get more than 60fps in all or even most titles turns silly into laughable. Sorry, but that's the simple truth.

There are still SOME compatibility issues and ICs that Ryzen tends to not like, especially when trying to get them to run at 3000mhz or higher. I'd recommend modules using the Samsung B-dies, but any of those modules listed there SHOULD work with your configuration.

And contrary to what the silly man had to say, that is not a weak CPU and is actually BETTER at threaded usage like gaming + streaming than most current Intel configurations. Nothing at all wrong with that Ryzen 5 for your needs.
