Titan fall 2? Overwatch? Using the above spec Hahaha.....FPS bro. You need at least gtx1060 6gb or rx480 8gb (for cheap freesync monitor) and i5 7500. Monitor above 100Mhz is a must or u will see tearing.

why buy low end stuff then upgrade, end up spend more? U think 2nd hand market very good now? :s22: look again bro

If u are ok with playing at medium settings, doesn't sound like there is an issue. However don't expect to be playing at ultra w 120fps. To help with costs u could go for the HEXA+ 450W, sufficient for your current setup already. MOBO u could aim for a matx (in case chassis u are getting a matx case) and chassis u could go for the techware/CM cases they are relatively cheaper in my opinion

In qoo10, there is a $50 off $300 cart coupon. You can choose and combine some items to save more. Like B250M mobo + ram or hdd or other items. Such savings can be used to buy better stuff like better gpu, etc.

for ram go with 2 4gb stick.
https://www.pcper.com/reviews/Graphics-Cards/Building-Budget-PC-Radeon-RX-460-Part-1

"I went with 8GB of Crucial Ballistix memory in a 2 x 4GB configuration due to the advice of one of the contributors from /r/buildapc. Many budget builders were offering, and have been for years, a single stick of RAM to save money and offer upgrade options down the road, under the assumption that gaming performance doesn’t see an impact from single channel integration. Recent benchmarks that focus not on average performance but on minimum frame rates and stutter show that is no longer the case. Getting a dual-channel memory kit removes these concerns."

Yeah, I'm really not into graphics too much, that's why I went for this build. But would still like to have room for future upgrade. That's why I want a higher Walt psu.

suggest you save up a bit more and get better parts for a gaming system.

Your build seems fine, but I recommend you to change your processor to and i5. Reason being it's very rare for people to upgrade processor. RAM, yes. Graphics card, yes. But processor? Yes, possible but not very common.

A GTX1050Ti will be able to Run Overwatch at max settings at 1080p, 60fps.

For Titanfall 2, you will need to lower your settings abit.

For Leagues, Dota 2 all this, 1050Ti is overkill.

However, you may wish to upgrade to a GTX1060 3gb or 6gb version for more value for money and a better experience in Titanfall 2.

Worried that 3gb will not be enough for other AAA gamed in the future. After much discussion(pleading)with wife.
Gonna get the i5 7500 instead. :)

no issues for that budget





ram 1 stick. dual channel only matters if cpu/gpu is slow enough that bandwidth bottlenecks it. i.e. using igpu on slow procesor

yes cpu isn't that good for cpu stuff, i.e. if you ever play 4x titles or ashes of singularity type. ppl recommend i5 cos it has 4 physical cores, sort of the minimum since some games wouldn't even run on 2. hence intel have to include ht on budget cpus now.

or you can wait for amd ryzen coming out end of this month/early march.

Oh no~ I'm wavering now after seeing this. Thanks for the heads up maybe think a bit more.
