[Wreck]

I am soon planning to buy parts to build a new PC and I was just wondering if anyone had any suggestions?

[John]

Can you please provide a budget and what games you will be playing?

It really isn't that expensive. If you think about it, this is the equivalent of 1,506 months of Subscriber.

@TheZZL thoughts?

[TheZZL]

Seems like a great build, mind doing one for me sir?

How’d you like this pc to run and what’s budget looking like? I ask how’d you like it to run because you can make PCs strict for gaming, gaming and streaming, just strolling on the internet, and video editing.

[Wreck]

My budget it around $1000 to $1500 but I don't really wanna spend all my money haha. I want a pc that can run games like CSGO and games that you can roam in such as GTA and such. And what Game capture do you recommend getting?

B r u h

 

My current build (functional but in progress):

 

Ryzen 5 2600X

NZKT Kraken x62 AIO

ROG STRIX B450-F

Corsair Vengeance LPX 2x8GB

Samsung 860 EVO 500GB

XFX Radeon RX480 (Old Card, will be swapping for a 5700XT on release)

NZXT H500i

EVGA Supernova G3 750W 80+ Gold Modular

 

I haven't gone through any in depth benching or even played many games, but I do have a few issues/complaints. Overclocking my previous i5 7600K was previously very easy through Gigabyte BIOS, however, I can't get the damn thing to work in ROGs far beefier BIOS. Whenever I change the frequency, it fails to boot. I thought it was undervolting or something, but that doesn't seem to be the case. If I can't figure this out, I may just be switching out for a 2700x instead.

 

Secondly, my performance seems like a downgrade, unless that's just Source failing to utilize multiple cores/threads effectively. I've swapped from a 4 core 3.8 OCed to 4.2 to a 6 core processor at 3.6 that boosts to 4.2. Running the same settings, I've dropped from 300-350 frames, to struggling to break 200. I was planning on upgrading my GPU, but if I'm bottlenecking at the CPU and can't get it to OC, I might just toss this build out the window.

I just whipped something up quick but it seems decent https://pcpartpicker.com/list/THJ4r6 for a monitor I’d suggest the asus vg248qe

 

My own build runs most AAA games 144fps+ 1080p (some settings are dropped a little but doesn’t make huge impact to graphics:

CPU: i5 8600k

GPU: asus rx 570

MOBO: MSI B360 Gaming plus

RAM: Corsair Vengeance 2x8 rgb 2666mhz

Case: Phanteks 400

Storage: 1tb Western Digital (HDD) Samsung 256gb (SSD)

PSU: Evga Supernova G3 80+ Gold 550w

Cooler: Hyper 212 Evo (really good budget cooler in my opinion)

For streaming it does great 720p streams from what I’ve tested so far. If I test it streaming 1080p and it goes well I’ll let you know
