[SOLVED] Building a new pc, need help ($800 budget)

big_guy · Dec 5, 2018

What I currently have:
1TB HDD
Mouse
Keyboard
Headphones
Microphone
Monitor
This prebuilt PC: https://www.flexshopper.com/product/cyberpowerpc-gamer-ultra-desktop-amd-fx-series-8gb-memory-amd-radeon-rx-460-1tb-hard-drive-black-bb20643628-5615009

I need help with choosing the rest of my parts. I can reuse anything from the prebuilt PC above, I just want to game at max settings with 60+ FPS. I would like an SSD and no water cooling, only fans. I have been looking for 3 days straight for parts and I keep running into compatibility issues, please help. This is my first custom build. My budget is very strict at $800 and I would prefer to order it off amazon, new (not used). Thank you!

Hi there, I cannot access the link, what are the PC's specs?
To run most games, max settings 60+fps, you will need a very powerful PC (depends on which games).
It will be cheaper to build your own, is this an option here?
and why would you not want anything used? My whole PC is used, and most of my peripherals, and none of them has had any problems. I actually saved about £200!

Cant access the link either .

However seeing its an amd fx based rig with a rx 460 then in all honesty apart from myabe the case & hard drive theres nothing that can be resused really.

Max settings at 1080p at 60fps+ on every title out there is not going to happen.
At that budget youre looking at a 1060 or rx 580 which is still going to do a very very good job at very high settings.

Offhand quickly ( & you are overspending or limiting component choices sticking to amazon only imo)

Sorry I just woke up and I have to use my phone and there isn’t a reply button lol
Mwhines5: Yes I can build it myself. I don’t want anything used because I don’t think I want to take the slight risk of me getting a messed up one for $10 less.

Madmatt30: I have to order everything from amazon because my mom won’t let me order anywhere else. Thank you for the build! I really appreciate it.

big_guy :

Ok then, Well that 480 is awlful for £800, for that you can get a GTX 1070, i7, 16gb ddr4.

You're honestly not going to do anythi.g better under £800.

A ryzen 2600 & a rx 580 is pretty much the pinnacle for a mid range gaming rig in that budget imo.

mwhines5 - I don't know where you're getting your prices from but what you're suggesting is impossible in budget.

This is $ not £ by the way - which is still irrelevant.
