I like this budget build. I really like the Steel legend boards, I've used 4 of them myself. The things I would change if it were mine.
1. I would go with a ryzen 5 2600 for the 6 cores 12 threads and the fact that you have a dedicated GPU already, Or wait and get a ryzen 3 3600. ASrock already has a bios update for the new CPU's
2. I would pick up another 8 gigs of ram when you can. Or wait and get 16gb of faster ram 3200 or better if you go with the new ryzen 3 3600
3. As cheap as SSD's are now I would at least try and pick up a 256gb or even 512gb. I like to have 3 or 4 games that I play all the time on SSD just for faster load times.
All in all I think this is a great start to a budget friendly Gaming PC!
Two different ways. One I'll just build and post it on my Facebook page. If someone wants a custom I'll ask them for their needs such as minimum fps and storage and then quote out a system based on their needs. I'll then invoice them through PayPal they pay, I order parts and builds then ship it to them UPS. Not a big money maker but I enjoy building and it keeps me up to date on trends and new products.
Great budget build. You did the right thing by not waiting on Zen 2, I just wish as much as these new GPU's cost they could at least give you a backplate. It's not like it would cost them much more to add one.
Yeah, the T-Force delta is the ram I was talking about. I've used it a bunch and it overclocks nice. I get it to run at 3400 and 3600 all the time with no problems at all.
For the second build you have here, I would change up a few things to save some money. First I would go with the Ryzen 7 2700 over the 2600x I would take the 2 more cores and 4 more threads over the faster clock speeds for what you are using it for. It also comes with a good RGB stock cooler so no need to buy the Hyper 212 evo. #2 I would not spend that much on Corsair ram. I would use team group DDR4 3200 RGB ram for half the price as the corsair. For the motherboard I would use the new AsRock B450 steel legend board. I have used 3 of them so far and they are great boards for the money. I would also get a better case for the same price. Maybe a P300 P350 or possibly a NZXT H500. If you make all these changes you could save yourself about 130-140 dollars off this build. Just my 2 cents worth. good luck!
Thanks, If you have the time to wait out ebay you can find some very good deals. I enjoy seeing what kind of performance I can squeeze out of the least amount of money lol.
So far, I've tested PUBG on max and average 110-125 on 1080p, Apex Legends on max gets around 105-115, BF5 max is 95-105. So far there is no game that it won't play on 1080p at well above 60fps.
Great first budget build. Next upgrade should be to sell your 2200g and purchase a Ryzen 5 2600 so you can take advantage of the full PCIE x16. I think using the 2200g with integrated graphics custs the pcie lane down to 8x for the GPU.
This is the ATX version, for some reason i picket the matx on here....so far so good, board has good overclocking ability, and both 5v and 12v rgb headers. If you look back at most of my past builds I have used a lot of Asrock boards and haven't had any problems with them at all.
