Supaplex13 wrote I'm sorry, I thought it would be easier to make a post and choose whatever gets the most votes, but I gues it doesn't work that way. My bad. Nope, just gets confusing for anyone trying to help you and possibly for you, since you could have 3 different people telling you to get different parts because they haven't noticed your other posts and don't know the rest of your system, or something. Suplaplex13 wrote Those are just the parts I wanted to get, I can get all of them cheaper, but I haven't looked into it yet. I wanted to get an idea of what parts I wanted first. Edit: I had a quick look around and the cheapest Corsair Vengeance i could find was 85 euro's. That's fine, just definitely don't pay 140 euros for 16GB RAM. If you can get the Vengeance LPX for the same price(or roughly the same price) as the Crucial RAM in the parts list I recommended above, then the LPX stuff will be fine. Just make sure to try to get 3000/3200MHz RAM with Ryzen. Suplaplex13 wrote Alright! I rather buy the parts brand new Yeah, that's understandable. It's worth noting that the GTX 1650, and apparently 1650Ti are supposed to launch soon. Should be around RX 570 performance most likely. Also, we should have more info on AMD's Navi GPU's within the month. So, it might be worth waiting for those. The RX 570 is still a solid GPU though, and is currently your best option, whether you buy used or new tbh. It's still a whole lot better than the 2400G's integrated graphics. I'd just get the cheapest RX 570 you can find though. |

It has really good reviews and is not too expensive. |

If it's more than 20-30 euros difference between the RX 570 and 580, then I wouldn't bother. Definitely don't be paying 200+ euros for an RX 580. If you're not buying parts for another 4 months though, then ignore everything because new components will have released by then and these parts lists will be useless. |

21 wrote It's not a huge deal. Manufacturers have to cut costs somewhere on their cheaper motherboards, so that tends to be VRMs and heatsinks. Better VRMs will typically result in better, more stable overclocks. Even if you don't overclock, then poor quality VRMs can affect the longevity of a motherboard. I'd only recommend those cheap, bottom of the barrel AM4 motherboards for people buying the absolute cheapest stuff they can find, so not being paired with like an R5 2600/R7 1700. The B450 Tomahawk is a nice mid range board, not quite as good as some X470 boards but well worth the premium over those really cheap B350/B450 mobo's IMO. Someone suggested the Gigabyte B450 Aorus Elite to me, because it's similar to the tomahawk and cheaper. The specifications seem pretty similar to me, am I missing something? Maybe the similar thing you said about the ASRock one? |

Alright, still gotta do some research on video cards, but I'm not planning on spending (much) more than 200 euros. 21 wrote If you're not buying parts for another 4 months though, then ignore everything because new components will have released by then and these parts lists will be useless. Well I wanted to get all parts during these 4 months, maybe some might be for sale at some point, I might be wrong. I want a definite list somewhere around the end of the month and then look for bargains. Might still change out parts if I can get something with better value. |

Maybe the similar thing you said about the ASRock one? It is not similar. Gigabyte's VRM designs on their B450 and X470 boards are pretty poor. The B450 Tomahawk has better VRMs than the Gigabyte board. Either get the AsRock B450 Pro4 if you want a budget board, or just spend a bit extra for the B450 Tomahawk. Suplaplex13 wrote I changed a few things, this is now my setup: That RX 580 is a good chunk more than 20-30 euros more expensive than the 140e RX 570 I suggested. Definitely do not pay 220 euros for an RX 580, considering you can get a GTX 1660 for 250 euros. Suplaplex13 wrote Alright, still gotta do some research on video cards, but I'm not planning on spending (much) more than 200 euros. Get an RX 570 for 140 euros, or a GTX 1660 for 250. If you can find an 8GB RX 580 for less than 200 euros, then it's not a terrible option but it's getting a bit close to GTX 1660 money IMO. Suplaplex13 wrote Well I wanted to get all parts during these 4 months, maybe some might be for sale at some point, Don't do that. Even if there are sales, which there probably will be. I imagine we'll see the R5 2600 on sale soon, but that's because it should be replaced within the next 2 months, so in 4 months time when you're ready to build, it's likely an entirely different CPU would make sense. Don't just start buying stuff, that's how you end up with a mismatched rig that you might even over pay for. When you actually have the money, put a parts list together and buy everything at once, or at least within the same week or so. |

Think I'm just gonna go with the RX 570 then, it's probably far better than I currently need anyway. 21 wroteSuplaplex13 wrote Well I wanted to get all parts during these 4 months, maybe some might be for sale at some point, I get your point, but as long as the parts stay the same why would it matter whether I buy them all in 1 week time or over 4 months time? I'm going to build it in 4 months no matter what, so might aswell try to get a few good deals in the meanwhile, right? My plan is to stick to the partlist I have unless I find out one of the parts is terrible or really expensive all of a sudden (which I don't expect). I'll be careful not to missmatch parts. Edit: No idea why the quotes aren't working.. |
