PO_Man_3849 Posted June 30, 2018 Share Posted June 30, 2018 I'm about a decade behind with PCs I've done some research and am overwhelmed with all the choices. I'd like to know the best places to purchase from and maybe some suggestions on a best bang for the buck build! Any help would be appreciated!

PO_Man_3849 Posted June 30, 2018 Author Share Posted June 30, 2018 I'm in the US, and I'd like to keep it around 6-700? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fox Posted July 2, 2018 Share Posted July 2, 2018 I personally really like Newegg.ca, but there's also a USA version, aka Newegg.com 600 - 700$, you won't get too much but should be doable. I'd say maybe go with a Ryzen 5 1600, 1600x or 2600 or lower, but stay above 4 cores / 8 threads, B350 based motherboard, 8GB of ram minimum (16GB recommended if possible / if you can find a decent deal... good luck though) and make sure it's supported by the motherboard's QVL. If you can squeeze a few more dollars together, get the GTX 1060 6GB version, otherwise, try for the GTX 1060 3GB version, otherwise GTX 1050. As for SSD / HDD... it's all a matter of how you use the system. Some ppl swear by them, I myself think it's a waste of money for my own use other than when I play 7D2D as that game does actually benefit from SSD performance quite a bit. As for computer case, get something with a lot of airflow and filters so you never need to worry about anything overheating. Power supply... get something 550 watts minimum and 80+ bronze rated or better I just got back from my trip, so I'm in desperate need of a shower and food... afterwards, I'll see if I can make an example build for you with links and stuff.

Fox Posted July 2, 2018 Share Posted July 2, 2018 This was quite the tight budget... and with Ram and Graphics card prices being ridiculous these days, 8GB of ram was the best I could do (which might affect 7D2D long term gameplay if you have other things running in the background), other than that, most other games need less ram, so it was a sacrifice I felt was worth it to fit in a GTX 1060. I even somehow managed to stay under budget which wasn't easy.

SylenThunder Posted July 2, 2018 Share Posted July 2, 2018 IMHO, fork out the extra cash for the 6GB 1060. The extra $50 will be well worth the future investment. Also, don't forget the CPU cooler. This one is only $30, and is very highly rated. That is a pretty tight budget for getting a decent gaming PC built though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
