Cut down on the GPU and get some much better RAM.
>>
>>58380857
Moar RAM, maybe a better mobo.
>>
>>58380857
>Spending $140 on a 2TB drive
Anon are you retarded? If you're using a SSD just get a WD Blue as your mechanical drive, or a toshiba or hgst


Take the money you save and get at least 16GB of RAM. Everything else looks fine.
>>
>>58380857
z170 motherboard so u can bclk overclock that i5 6500 and faster ram.
>>
Get 4x4GB of RAM, not just one stick of 8GB.

It's completely unnecessary to spend that much on a 2TB drive. Get a 1TB drive, or if you need more than that, search eBay for something cheaper.

Get a smaller SSD. 120GB should be just fine, just keep everything that's not your OS on the HDD.
>>
>>58380857

post the fucking URL you fucking faggot so we can fucking adjust it
>>
>>58380857
Be doubly sure about the video card and the case.

You'll probably be frugal enough to keep the case for mobo/cpu/ram/HDD upgrades and chances are your GPU will last your for years if you don't run it to the ground.
>>
Wait for ayyylmao zen
>>
>>58380906
>Cut down on GPU
fuck off

OP that CPU is overkill. i3 6100 if you you're fucking gay but want to upgrade, Zen if you're not in a hurry, FX 8320 if you wanna run modern games at 60 Ultra for a year or so then don't mind turning down the settings, you will need a new mobo cpu with the 8320 after a bit though. It's great for now but not future proof
>>
Another stick of ram and better gpu
>>
>>58381059

Get the fuck off this board and never come back you dumb cunt. A fucking celeron will outperform that turd in 99% of games.

lmao, i think u mean 2x8GB
>>
>>58381111
I'mm assuming his mobo has 4 RAM slots, and there's no need to have more than 16GB
>>
>>58381126
It has 2.
I wouldn't recommend that particular board though, I had one and it had annoying coil whine whenever a USB device was active, including mouse and keyboard.

>t. Not an 8320 owner
8320 owner here, 100 in Overwatch Epic, 120 Battlefront Ultra, 90 Rainbow Six Siege Ultra

And thats with a 480, my CPU usage never goes above 40%

Face it you delusional Intel shill games aren't fucking single threaded anymore and the ones that are, are so old they handle great on the 8320

And I'm running a stock cooler at base clock on a budget motherboard
>>
OP here, so do I just add another stick of 1x8 Ram that I got there to my mobo. Or do I get a different mobo? Which one if so?

As for storage, I'm quite alright with my SSD and 2TB HD, they won't cause any problems in the long run right?

My Power Supply is sufficient too right?

Also no need to change my CPU or Videocard right? Do I need anything else to build this shit?

If you're looking for a place to save a few bucks, the motherboard is where I'd do it. There are cheaper Z170 boards.

there we go, learn2logic

throw another 8 gig stick in there and you're still 100 shy of 1000
>>
>>58381163
the fact that your CPU never goes over 40% just shows how single-threaded games are and how that is limiting your FPS. Way to dig your own hole.
>>
>>58381225

also SMMFH at these other ppl spending literally 1000 dollars and still just have a fucking shitty ass RX GPU

my 1070 build comes in at 800 you faggots
>>
>>58381158
whats the point of 8gb ram on a mostly 1080p card.
>>
>>58381247
You do realize that the platform (CPU/Mobo/Ram/PSU/Case) tends to stay around for 5+ years but the GPU gets replaced usually in two, right? Getting an overkill GPU for 1080p makes zero sense. Going from a 3.5 GHz CPU to a 4.5 GHz overclockable CPU is a much better use of money.
>>
>>58381208
>https://pcpartpicker.com/list/ydjcyf
Why the downgrade towards the power supply and the major price of the video card?
Would this build actually hold up well in terms of heat output, possible over-watt usage, and memory?

So you mean I should also just buy two of the RAM sticks your provided?
That'd be sufficient?
>>
>>58381280
>>58381225
Oh and why no CPU cooler? Do I need one (obviously??)
>>
>>58380857
Zen is just around the corner man.
>>
>>58381301
What in the name of heck is this Zen
>>
>>58381273

you realize that playing AAA games at 1080p 60 wont be possible in litterally 1-2 years for the shitty RX series CPUs dont you?

you can play at 60 and great settings for much longer with the 1070 which is a 1080p140hrz benchmark GPU than a fucking GPU that's in the first tier of 1080p60fps from last year and already has shit driver support to begin as well
>>
>>58381316
An actually good AMD cpu that is either going to offer better price/performance OR force Intel to compete with better offering.
>>
>>58381316
It's a meme you dip
>>
>>58381295

the i5 comes with one

buy a 30 dollar 212, or a larger Noctua and you're still under 1000
>>
>>58381280
The PSU is a massive upgrade. Stable voltage regulation is the most important part of a PSU, and the BQ series kinda sucks at it, but is passable. The G2 series is among the top. Going too high on the wattage also makes no sense. The build in mine is going to use 400W or so after overclocking, so there's still plenty of headroom.

If you're going for 16GB, go for a single 2x8GB kit. Don't buy two different 1x8GB sticks.

The video card's price is higher due to the extra VRAM and better cooling. If you can spare it, it's definitely worth it, especially in the long term.
>>
>>58381326
I think AAAAAAA games are going to run in 60 fps forever. because they are still bound to be compatible with consoles and 4k will start becoming standard.
>>
>>58381350

>putting this much trust into stickers on a PSU
>seasonic is supposed to be the only company 100% trustworthy and never jews anything

>literally starts dying within 6 months
>replace it with the 30 dollar EVGA
>research the teardown of the seasonic
>it doenst have solid japcaps like everyone claims

>>
>>58381226
Yeah that's across all cores cock breath
>>
>>58381350
So would this RAM work for what I'm looking for?

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/rYsKHx/corsair-memory-cmz16gx3m2a1600c10r

also would it fit on my mobo?

Sorry for the noob questions my friendo.
>>
>>58381326
thats only poorly optimized games like watch dogs 2 and such. unreal engine 4 games for example run well and look good on even lower end systems.
>>
>>58381326
Holy fuck you couldn't be more wrong. I could try explaining how AMD is actually getting gains out of DX12 unlike NVidia, or I could point out how while the 1070 might be a 144hz card, the i5-6500 certainly can't do it. I could also point out that another $200 in two years would be an easy expense, and get you better performance while still costing less than a 1070.

Hell, people are still using HD 7970s and maxing games at 1080p thanks to the longevity of the architecture (asynch compute & other tech that's finally seeing implementation by developers), but you'd probably just think that all cards age as well as NVidia cards, which is to say NVidia cards age like shit.
>>
Does anyone use the fucking search function anymore?

>>58377161
>>
>>58381383
I don't trust stickers on the PSU. I trust JohnyGuru and his actual testing of powersupplies with real equipment that measures stability. Efficiency rating is not relevant to gamers, so the fact that it's gold means nothing. EVGA G1 units are gold, and I consider them to be shit.
>>
>>58381413
Either you're trolling, or you're just a complete moron. Go buy a prebuilt.

:-?

u wot?
>>
>>58381430

>missing the point

you're buildinga fucking RX build and spending MORE MONEY

im already 200 dollars under the cost of every other RX build

so the 200 dollars down the line is pointless

you wont get a better card for 200 than any of the 1000 series GPUs in 2 years

>>58381539
If I went with 8GB of memory and the same shit PSU, our builds would be the same price. I didn't because I'm not a moron. The goal was to get the best computer given a limited budget. I actually decided to focus on the platform more than the GPU simply because GPUs get replaced fast while platforms tend to stick around for half a decade, and the RX 480 is more than enough. I don't know why you're being such a crybaby.
>>
>>58381544
So I'm guessing the speed is shit maybe?

I don't know.

What about this?

if you just want to play games at 1080p60 you can do so for much cheaper

he said he wants to spend 1000 dollars, posted a shit build with a bunch of overkill priced things including a meme mobo and case and PSU and HDD

if you want to just play 1080p games at 60 then the RX 460 is all you need

Swap out the PNY for something else. They have a hard time with sustained IO. They work, but get frequent queue depth spikes. Spending ~$6 more for the Sandisk Ultra is a better option, in my experience.
