$600 Gaming PC Build [my plan build], what's yours? :)

chronoasonos16 · Oct 18, 2018

So I was trying to canvas some parts for my 1st gaming pc build.
Objective is to build a $600 gaming pc that could play all 2018 games and upcoming rumored 2019 games running in med to high graphic settings(I'm sick with my amd a8 7600 graphics. I have this for 5 years already), which I'm hoping to also last for 4 years before deciding to upgrade to Ryzen 7. And Ryzen 3 2200G is the current best that fits this budget. I came up with this build:

PSU: Cooler Master MWE 650W 80+ Bronze
MOBO: MSI B450M Mortar Titanium
CPU: Ryzen3 2200G
GPU: Galax GTX 1050 Ti OC 4GB 128Bit DDR5
RAM: GSkill Ripjaws V 8GB single DDR4 2400Mhz CL15 2 pcs
SSD: SanDisk Plus 240GB SDSSDA-240G-G26
CASE: mid tower

I hope you guys can share what you can come up with this budget. Is there something that I need to remove or change? Thanks in advance. guys!

If you want to stick with AMD you'll need to change the memory on your build from 2400 single stick to 3200 in dual channel (2x4gb).

Looks solid, but what are you playing? This is a bit low for 1080p high settings AAA games. Great for literally everything else. If you could spend 100$ more you could gain so much more gaming power, lik3 a ton more.

+50$ get a ryzen 2600 on sale only 150$ Amazon.
+50$ rx580 4gb.

You could run everything that exist max settings at 60fps+ the current build will need Lower settings for 60fps and going to cut it a little close.

Moving up a video card to a 570 and an i3 would work very well though

You can get a 1070 on ebay for less than $250.

fredfinks :

With more then likely no warranty and the possibility of it being mined with which you have no idea how long that GPU will lasts.

WildCard999 :

Theres PLENTY of good gear for sale. Mining on a 1070? Gauge the seller - their history and parts.
Hardware is usually DOA or it'll work for many years.

Just buy a 570. Cost same as a 1050ti, but performs up to 50% better. 570 performs within 10% of a rx 580 /1060.

Thus is by far the best gpu for the money and it's not even remotely close. Just look at any benchmarks of a 570 vs a 1060 6gb. Only paying 160$, use until you get a 120hz display or move to higher than 1080p..

This is the best price per performance. The cpu is strong enough to support your next gpu as well.
