Budget pc gamer

by Aug 14, 2018 7:26AM PDT

Hello everyone !

I’m planning to build my own budget pc for something around 500-600 euros, since my old computer is dead. I used to have this setup:

-Intel Core i5 3570k
-MSI Z77a g45
-HD 7850 sapphire
-8Gb DDR3 Ram
-2Tb HDD
-500W PSU

And this is the setup I made for myself, for a potential purchase :

-AMD Ryzen 3 1200
-MSI B350M Bazooka
-KFA2 GTX 1050 Ti 4GB
-HyperFury X 8gb of DDR4 RAM
-Seagatte Barracuda 1Tb HDD
-Cooler Master N300 Case
-EVGA 450 BT PSU 80+

This would cost me 576 euros, but what do you guys think about this pc ? Is there something that can be improved ? For around 500-600 euros ?

That looks very similar to a PCMR build.

If it wasn't for the gamer portion you could drop the SSD and GPU then switch to the 2200G.

I wouldn't.

You want a budget gamer. That means you get into the usual 1050 Ti or better.
If you wanted a budget PC, you can use IGP systems.

Yeah I want a budget gamer, I think I just misunderstood your answer, but anyway, 1050 Ti would be good then but I’m kinda scared to buy a KFA2, but its the cheapest I can find, does it perform well ? As good as other 1050 Tis ?

Ram

When you buy the ram look for 2 x 4GB @ 2400....a kit.

Fit it in the proper slots to enable dual channel.
