Hey guys,
Looking at putting together a mid tier gaming build with a limit of about $1000.
I managed to put together this system https://au.pcpartpicker.com/list/prjdhy for $1042.
No need for any additional hard drives atm.
Ryzen 2600 - $230
GTX 1660 6G - $360
G.Skill Ripjaws 3200 2x8GB - $180
ASRock B450M Pro4 - $117
Thermaltake Smart Series RGB LED 600W - $77
Thermaltake View 22 TG $78
TOTAL: $1,042
Any feedback would be great.
Thanks in advance.
i'll get neg, but techfast 2600/rtx2070 build has gone as low as under 1.2k
3k is high end? lol plz.
Remember the time $1,500 was high end? Pepperidge farms remembers….
But can it run Crysis on ultra?
What? Of course its mid-tier. Ryzen 5 2600 is a mid-tier CPU (R3 and Athlons are low-end, R7 high-end), and 1660 is a mid-tier GPU (xx60 has always been mid-tier and its a replacement for 1060 which was very much mid-tier), B450 also mid-tier motherboard (A-series low end, X-series high end). I think this is as "mid-tier" as it gets.
matx board in a full ATX case will look kinda dicky. Other than that list looks good
I would go lower CPU and use 8GB RAM and put the saving towards more GPU power.
Nah, 1660 is much better value then the 1660ti (apparently ocs well). 2060 would be the only worthwhile bump, bit that's double(ish) the price.
Looks alright fam
That ram won't work at 3200. Or rather, it may not work well. I've been having random blue screens and crashes. Finally traced it to ram with memtest. At 2933MHz, it's stable though.
Edit: I should have bought better supported ram.
Have you tried memetest??
Of course that's a thing.
It's pretty dank
Ive got a r5 2600 and the G.Skill 3200 ram, works fine with mine. I've got ASUS TUF mb, if that makes a difference iono.
I checked a similar one in the morning :D
Total: $894.24

The AMD r7-2700 isn't that much faster than the r5-2600, but the GTX 1660 is plenty faster than the RX570.
OP's build is better.
Also, OP has 16GB RAM which is the recommended sweet spot these days, but has intelligently opted for a 2x8GB kit instead of a 4x4GB kit. This gives him the opportunity to add another 2x8GB sticks in the future to get a 32GB RAM total. And he can likely reuse the motherboard if he sells his CPU and replaces it with a new/faster generation model.
Depends what the build is for. Productivity it'd be a lot better
price check with your local shops? bought similar components online and should have price checked, maybe could have got some freebies? Umart had a inwin 301 atx case with three rgb fans for $80 last week. And computer alliance ebay has $116 Thermaltake cases with 600w psus (also thermaltake) delivered Link.
Looks fine to me, not much variation to be had when that limited. Also it may be nitpicking, but $1k isn't mid-tier, it's low-end, $2k is mid-tier and $3k is high-end (when we're talking just the case/internals).
