Building a New Gaming PC

[MomoNayeon]

Hi guys. I'm not a very tech savvy guy. So would be great if you guys can advise me on the build. I'm not looking for a very high end kind of PC. But my concern is just I would like to play games such as like GTA 5, CS GO and Battleground at probably high settings. I'm not sure how much it gonna cost, but my Budget I'm looking at around 1.2k? If 1.2k is not enough to get a PC that would address this, please do let me know what is the price range I'm should be considering. So would appreciate you guys do help me out!

Do you require a monitor or any other peripherals (mouse/keyboard/speaker/headphone/etc...) And will you be connecting through wifi or lan?

Sorry this is my first time posting here and I don't need any other peripherals and will be connecting through lan. So maybe I need someone to help me build a desktop that would get good settings on GTA 5 preferably within 1.2k

1.2k
CPU + Mobo : R5 1300x + Asus b350 plus - $324 (Tradepac)
Ram : G.Skill Ripjaws V 2x4gb 2666mhz - $125 (Fuwell)
GPU : MSI gtx 1060 o.c v2 twin fan - $329 (PCThemes)
SSD : SanDisk 240GB - $122 (Lazada)
HDD : Toshiba 1TB - $58 (Tradepac)
PSU : FSP Hydro g 650w - $159 (PCThemes)
Case : Sharkoon TG5 - $99 (PCThemes)

Total : $1216 without discounts

I got pricing references from different shops but can just go Tradepac or PCThemes and get them to quote you for the whole build and ask for discounts

For OS, if you are a student or know any students with a Microsoft imagine account can get W10 free. Else should be $12 on carousell.

As long as the monitor you are using is 1920x1080 and below should be able to run gta 5 just fine @ high settings

Would recommend 1200 over 1300x especially if you are going for a b350 motherboard since it's oc-able to 1300x level of performance. If not just get the a320 motherboard as it's cheaper if there are no plans to oc

Please do not buy a $159 FSP psu. You buy fsp because you want budget, $159 might as well go for other brand. Go with irenicus psu recommendation.

But if you prefer spending $159, go for evga G3 550w gold (pc themes) instead.

Don't listen to this guy.

I personally use the same FSP 650W Hydro-G.

The similar 750W gets 9.2 on JohnnyGuru site.

FSP used to be OEM manufacturer for many well know PSUs from Thermaltake, Silverstone, Antec and so on. They start to make their own brand not too long ago.

Personal experience, it gets its job done. Very silent and pushes highend components very well.

Oh btw, EVGA don't make their own PSUs, most are made by FSP(haha) and Superflow, rebranded as EVGA

wah, smart guy, only you know evga does not make their psu. come come i clap for you.

Oh, FSP got what? 9.2 in johnny guru? evga g3 'similar' got 9.8.

Did not read whole review, saw only the last page of pros and cons...not that fantastic.

And oh, a 1060 rig needs a 650w psu? evga 550w gives 7 yrs of warranty compared to fsp 5 yrs warranty (according to techdeals pricelist), i would give up 100w for 2 extra yrs of warranty especially when i know i cannot sli 1060 and 650w is an overkill for a single 1060 rig.

In fact, 450w is good enough.

 

[Solo_Apple]

Budget build PSU please don't go above $80 with all the qoo10/lazada/amazon coupons. Else no point.

GTX1060, 400w is more than enough.

Haha,

It is common knowledge most popular PSU companies just re-badge OEM PSUs and put premium prices. I am baffled you don't even know that.

EVGA PSU Database

EVGA doesn't make a single PSU, they're all rebranded from Superflower, FSP and such. Lucky their OEMs have very good PSU designs.

Reputable brands that make their own PSUs are Seasonic, FSP, Superflower.

Funny how you're telling him not to buy FSP when EVGA, the one you recommend buys PSUs from FSP for re-branding...

*facepalm*

cannot sense sarcasm i also bo bian.

And there's a reason why some go for evga even though they know their oem is superflower such as better customer service or quality etc. You really can confirm is just take an existing product and paste their brand over it? Evga does not do their own quality check, does not have their own requirement? Just 'cut and paste'?

Btw, the one i recommended buy from superflower, not FSP. Oh and i wonder why evga high end models does not include FSP and FSP is only the oem for evga's lower tier models.

http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/evga-gq-series-750w-psu,4396-10.html

"The PSU's ACRF topology proves to be highly efficient, at least under normal operating conditions, and the +12V rail's load regulation is adequate. If FSP could suppress ripple more efficiently, especially on the 3.3V rail, and offer better response to transient loads, then the 750 GQ would match the performance of pricier competitors in this category, including the 750 G2.

At this time, that's not the case. So if you're after the best possible performance, stick with EVGA's offerings based on Super Flower's platforms. In addition, the noise output of this unit isn't as low as EVGA describes, at least under moderate and higher loads. If you can't stand noisy PSUs and your system would really tax a 750W unit, look elsewhere. Although the FDB fan inside the 750 GQ is of very high quality, it spins at up to 2200 RPM and consequently gets really noisy."
