Making a budged rig.
CPU: i5 9600K 3.7GHz
RAM: Corsair Vengeance LPX Black 16GB DDR4 2400MHz CL16 Dual Channel
VIDEO CARD: GIGABYTE GeForce GTX 1660Ti WindForce OC 6GB GDDR6 192-bit
MOBO: GIGABYTE B360 Aorus Gaming 3 WiFi Socket 1151 v2
CPU COOLER Thermaltake Contac Silent 12
POWER SUPPLY: Thermaltake Litepower 650W GEN2
Any thought? Good or Bad?
>i5
imma stop you right there
Are you dead set over intel/nvidia than amd?
Use AMD it's way better for cheaper builds
Get a similarly priced ryzen instead and the power supply is over kill also if your on a budget the stock ryzen cooler is fine.
I used AMD in the past and had problems with it, my current rig is Intel and haven't had a problem since I bought it 10 years ago.
I thought the same, but the 9600k is only 220.. I just bought a ryzen 5 3600 last month for 200. Very comparable but i think the i5 is better for gaming.
As for the GPU.. he should def get a 570 or 580 instead of a shitty 1660 ti
He did say budget, user
i5s are straight up garbage now, fyi. ive been holding out until the end of time and anything CPU bound tears my shit apart at this resolution.
i fps spike on every game known to man atm.
upgrading to 3600x.
that meme gfx card tho
It's not the price it's just a shitty option. There isn't any reason to buy an Intel cpu over an amd cpu.
Wtf is a budged? Anyway, i5 is garbage for that rig, it'll bottleneck your system. i7.
yeah, bad.
go ryzen, 1600 has a new version that's actually a 2600 but cheaper. its like 1600e and its good shit.
rams fine but you could get 3200 for hardly any more money right now. i paid over double a year ago.
get a used rx 580 or 590. 580 8gb is cheap as fuck right now with better or as good as performance as the 1660ti with 2gb more ram.
mobo can be a b350-b400 series if you're going amd. it will be cheaper than what you were looking at.
psu can be 500-600watt and you'll be fine.
>CPU: i5 9600K 3.7GHz
No, amd's lineup is cheaper if you're on a budget and within 5-7% on average in performance gaps I reccomend the R5 3600 Skip the x model as it's not worth the extra cash.
>RAM: Corsair Vengeance LPX Black 16GB DDR4 2400MHz CL16 Dual Channel
Eh.
>VIDEO CARD: GIGABYTE GeForce GTX 1660Ti WindForce OC 6GB GDDR6 192-bit
Fine for a budget build but I personally don't like gigabytes gpu's.
>MOBO: GIGABYTE B360 Aorus Gaming 3 WiFi Socket 1151 v2
No, you're better off getting a b450 Tomahawk from msi. Better value for you and more performance
>CPU COOLER Thermaltake Contac Silent 12
Eh
>POWER SUPPLY: Thermaltake Litepower 650W GEN2
Eh
Don't listen to these neckbeards telling you to discount the cou just because it's an i5. The 9600k has six cores and easily overclocks to 5Ghz which is damn respectable. If you're just looking for the best gaming performance for your dollar, you chose the right cpu. However if you prefer multitasking and video rendering, ryzen is the way to go.
As far as the ram goes, you can do faster for relatively cheap.
I wouldn't settle for that gpu but you can always upgrade later thanks to the psu you chose. Everything else is fine.
Forgot to mention you'll want a better cooler if you want to hit that 5Ghz. An evo is a cheap choice but you'll get a lot of noise and I think you might have been trying to avoid that.
No, he said budged
What country are you building this rig in?
Buying online or in store?
Any criteria and/or what are you going to do with it?
Total budget, do you have a screen and peripherals?
Give me this and I'll give you everything you need.
invest the extra money to upgrade ur McAffee to the pro version. thank me later
So much wrong with this. Sure you could buy a 9600k if all you're going to do is play cs but considering pricing on ryzen and how cheap b450 motherboards are it's stupid.
But thats debatable, what isn't debatable is that a Rx 500 GPU is a viable option in 2020. Polaris is a dead architecture and is horrendous at gaming considering the specs. Adding on top of that dated video memory and non-existent support you have a card that is better off collecting dust.
All games benefit from a higher clock speed and only a few games benefit from multi threading. The motherboard argument is the dumbest though. You can find cheap boards on the low end of any chip set.
>not getting a ryzen 5 3600
You guys are weird.
If you like intel then use it. That i5 will play anything, no reason to buy an i7 unless you build the rest of the computer for it and even then it's debatable. Put a 2070 or wait for a 3070 in the machine you posted and you'll be able to play anything 2k easy. If you stay at 1080 then even better.
You could buy AMD and save some money but there is no point if you like intel.
>All games benefit from a higher clock speed and only a few games benefit from multi threading
not 100% true and I never said this wasn't the case. The i5 will preform better in titles that have heavy world threads like cs, but this equates to at most around a 15fps advantage at best (1080p e-sports titles). This is why I stated that you could buy one if this was the goal. Realistically though you would play other games and maybe run a few applications on the side which would impact the i5 far heavier than the ryzen 5.
>few games
This was true 5+ years ago, look at developer specs in todays titles especially now with the new consoles.
>You can find cheap boards on the low end of any chip set
Yes but wasn't your argument that the i5 would be better because of overclocking. z390 isn't exactly cheap when comparing to b450. Plus the ryzen actually has less powerdraw and overclocks with the included box cooler
