--- Quote from: Insert Name Here² on February 07, 2017, 11:07:06 PM ---It's okay but it only has PCIe 2.0, iirc now the default is 3.0 Also you can build a very capable pc for $600 without having to go used with old hardware. If you want a list, I could make you one --- End quote --- The differences between PCIe 2 and 3 are ridiculously minor (5 fps, maybe 10 at most) though for a budget PC you could care due to the limited hardware, you're not going to feel it anyway in the long run. --- Quote from: Insert Name Here² on February 08, 2017, 12:51:32 AM --- * Intel Pentium G4400 @3.3 Ghz (CPU) * MSI GTX 1050ti OC 4GB (GPU) * G.Skill NT 8GB (4x2) DDR4-2133 (RAM) * MSI H110M Pro-VD MicroATX (MOBO) * Western Digital Caviar Blue 1TB 7200rpm 3.5" (HDD) * EVGA 430w 80+ White (PSU) * Corsair Carbide 88R MicroATX mid-tower (CASE) --- End quote --- I would not advise getting a Pentium by a long shot regardless of your budget. I believe the GPU is a good decision, it's fairly cheap coming from Nvidia and will manage on your system, although it's not going to deal extremely well with High-Max 1080p gaming despite what INH said. G.Skill for RAM is overkill. 2133 at that too, you can save a fair amount of money of getting another brand and maybe 1333 or 1600 mhz, putting more money into the CPU. No comment on the mobo itself, although if he can get one for free I believe it should be the base of a budget build. The only issue is the CPU limit, but since he's on a budget an AMD for a CPU would not be the end of the world. Plus if you have a PC already you might have salvageable parts that might not be a loss to replace with cheaper versions, such as storage. Despite what I said about the RAM here's Nvidia's own suggestion, having randomly stumbled over the page. http://www.geforce.com/whats-new/guides/geforce-garage-build-an-entry-level-geforce-gtx-1050-gaming-pc-for-only-500 |

It'd also be stupid at this point to not use DDR4. --- Quote from: Nickelob Ultra on February 08, 2017, 05:57:43 AM ---An Intel Pentium? Lol forget no, those things are garbage. For <$800 you're way better off going with AMD products. At $600, Intel and Nvidia are outside your price range. --- End quote --- I had a budget of 600$ and managed to pick up an i5-6600 and 970 ( before 10** series was released ), I don't know what you are talking about. I'll see if I can't work up a list real quick while managing under $600. --- Quote from: Insert Name Here² on February 08, 2017, 12:51:32 AM --- --- End quote --- Never ever pair off 2x4 GB of ram with a mobo that has only two slots. Nowadays you're going to want to upgrade to 16gb as soon as possible.
