Suggest Me a Build?

LR3DPOINT on 14/05/2019 - 13:48

Hi all,

My current system is ancient, it's a old AMD X2 black edition CPU with various GPU's over the years. It's served me damn well but I've been out of the game so long I don't know where to start. I don't game as much as I used to but I want to be able to play pretty much anything that's come out as well some titles coming up. Doesn't have to be high settings at all. Any suggestions? I have been looking at Techfast builds but I just don't know.

    Don't suppose you want to state a budget? Is this just tower or tower/monitor/peripherals?

      First post so I probably should have, whoops. I have the monitor and peripherals. But my budget would be probably 800 and less. I have a case, PSU and HDDs that I can save too.

      This would be your best option IMO. I'd upgrade the motherboard (Using techfast's optional upgrades) - and then you can re-use your existing case/PSU and add your existing HDD's.

      All of the parts in this are OKAY. If you want to use your computer for things other than gaming then using a system with better components and one that doesn't put all of the budget into the CPU and gpu would be a better bet. Watch some videos on how to spend your budget on a pc. Having a good quality motherboard, ram and Ssd may be more useful to you than having a gpu which might be bottlenecked by the CPU and other components.

    https://www.logicalincrements.com/ Take a look here and change it to australia.

    Shows you different builds at different price points, and makes sure you dont spent too much on a component that does not match the rest of the PC in power/quality

    get it used;

    matx case

      I have been looking at used and that was getting me confused as to if they were any good for asking price.

      Need to be wary of the SSD's in terms of write capacity and lifespan

      • R3DPOINT on 14/05/2019 - 17:03

        For sure I have a SSD boot drive - 2tb barracuda set up

    • N1NJ4W4RR10R on 14/05/2019 - 17:13

      If you're going used maybe grab a ryzen 1k CPU. Much better upgrade path.

    Wait till the 3000 series AMD and Navi 7nm stuff is release next month/month after. Either get one of these, or find a cheap deal on the last gen.
