Help build a gaming rig ~1.7k

[reky1989]

Hi everyone,

My current rig is reaching 10years soon. I have been doing my own research and have a few ideas on my own. Would appreciate if i could get more inputs.

Budget is around 1.7k sgd for the tower and OS. I have monitors and kb +mouse.

I'm looking at rx580 instead of 1060 6gb so i can use a cheaper freesync 1440p monitor in the future. Ram would be 16gb.

I'm having trouble deciding on the CPU processor to use. Please help!

i will start something decent to mark it, a decent build with 2600
Amd 2600 ==
MOBO:
GIGABYTE X470 Aorus Ultra Gaming ==
MSI X470-Gaming-Plus ==
CORSAIR Vengeance LPX 2400 C14 ==
G.Skill RipJawsV 2400 C15 ===
PSU: $100-120 range
Hard Drive:
Samsung 860 EVO 250GB local 5yrs SATA3
SanDisk SSD Plus 240GB local 3yrs SATA3
Case: Sharkoon TG5 Tempered Glass $105 (Come with 4 fans)
Total: $950-$1050
Window 10 home 64bit == $130-150
GPU: $450-$550 Depend on 1060 or RX580

950 to 1050 without OS/GPU/cpu cooler and if wanna save up the case fans.. Your 1.7k can only do this decent buildup unless you can grab used GPU to save up something..

~~~ If you going intel road, getting 8400 was the compare you getting but alittle higher cost if you choose a decent mobo.. (mobo as in not those 100-150 buck kinds)
