[firsttimerneedhelp]

NZXT H500 ATX CASE - $115
ASRock Fatal1ty B450 GAMING - $130
Sapphire Nitro+ RX580 8GB - $180
AMD Ryzen 5 2600- $225
EVGA 550W PSU - $49
GeIL EVO POTENZA 16GB (2 x 8GB) - $115
HP EX900 M.2 500GB PCIe 3.0 x4 NVMe 3D TLC NAND Internal SSD - $90

Hi prices here are a rough estimate. They amount to $900+. What do you guys think? this will be my first build. Any suggestions or ways to further reduce price? thanks!

Agreed. However that alone would cost almost half of his current build.

where are you seeing those prices for the nvme m2?

 

[firsttimerneedhelp]

It was having a sale on newegg. Price is back to around $100 i think.

Btw TS, I don't think an NVMe SSD is really necessary, try getting a SATA one instead to further save budget. Unless the prices are really competitive.

can go for Tecware Nexus case instead, save around $60

Cut cost loh, the case maybe can go tecware's one cheaper, then maybe SSD reduce to 256, get 1tb HDD. Spend more to get the 1660 should be more worth it

hmm yup....however 256gb and 1tb option will be more expensive than just 500gb. i plan to get hdd in the future, i’ll make do with the ssd first. Tecware case seem to be oos everywhere...

Yup! there seem to be a new model called the m3 which is pretty cheap as well. Do you have any knowledge about it?
