Good PC setup for about $1500?

So i saved for 3 years to hopefully buy a better PC for gaming. I wonder if anyone could give me some advice on what setting to get. Thanks

 

I am also planning that, I will be waiting for the ryzen specs and prices, but as it looks now, it is going to be:
I7 7700k, good power, 5ghz possible
120v2 water cooler thing
Gigabyte gaming Z270
16gb ddr4-3000, 8gb is not enough, not even ony laptop
Gigabyte 1070
Phantek case, looks good and good reviews
Toshiba 3tb HDD
A optical drive, may get one out of an older PC
750w power for overlocking and possible upgrades
I am still looking for ssd discounts

I choose gigabyte since they are 40 euros cheaper than Asus and MSI.
I hope ryzen is good with pricing, but for now it looks like the 6-core is on i7 pricing :/ but I guess it will bring the overall prices down.

 

Sounds nice....may as well get a pre-built high spec PC, found some selling for about 598.185000 US Dollar (Yup, google gave me that) and their specs appears to be higher than recommended although i'm not sure

 

here is a list with current prices here

way too high for GPU's and CPU's

 

Okay....How well would these specs perform on BeamNG? If it's good enough, i'm gonna buy it
CPU : Intel i7-6700, 3.4GHz - 8M (up to 4GHz)

RAM : 1x 4GB DDR4/2133 (2slots)

HDD 500GB 7200rpm 3.5''

Graphics : Intel HD Graphics 530

Optical : DVD-RW

Ports : 2 x USB 2.0, 4x USB 3.0, Display port, VGA, 1x PClex16

 

It has a good processor, a bad gpu, you really want a dedicated one, it also has not enough ram, I would suggest more then 8gb . not for beam but in general, storage is low.

 

Honestly I'd wait until AMD launches Ryzen CPUs
They are said to be hardcore competition for Intel now, even on single threaded apps

 

But from what I heard, the prices wouldn't be as low as everyone thinks/hopes

 

No get a gtx card

 

Do you even know where we are talking about? Rizen is a AMD CPU, not a GPU like the gtx

 

Ohhhhhhhhhh. go crazy then, I thought it was a gpu

 

I still think that 8GB is totally enough. Unless you want to run highly intensive applications, 8GB is fine.

 

Before Vega, the current gtx1070 and upwards will be better bang for buck than the AMD gpu's. But we were talking about the processor. AMD is going to launch ryzen cpu's next month (probably) the specs of those CPUs are near or on par with the Intel CPUs. My point was to wait with a CPU upgrade since the prices of Intel will probably go down when ryzen is launched. Tbh, I don't want a ryzen at first since new PC parts are always a risk, and AMD is not 'that' thrustworthy

I use 7+ of 8gb ddr3 on my laptop quite often when playing beam or doing stuff for school

 

True

 

Well....how about buying a version that has 8GB ram.....i don't really care about GPU...as long as it's not intergrated and DX12 compatible 500GB is fine for me since i don't need much

BeamNG is the most intensive one to date

 

Make sure you get it with 1x8GB RAM and you have at least another empty slot for further upgrades
Storage-wise, 1TB is not that expensive anymore and I think too much doesn't to any harm at all
You do need a solid GPU, imo

I made a list of PC parts, I dare to call it rather future-proof for BNG and other games (played at high presets - 1080p @60FPS)

Spoiler: LIST

PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant

Total: $1227.80

 

Looks good I'll consider it

 

The build AlexMD suggests is pretty spot on although I would also say to add a 250gb or 500gb SSD for the operating system to that, they are only around $70 and $160 respectively and are night and day compared to a HDD. Plus you will still be about $200 under the $1500 budget at that.

 

Thanks for the advice i'm gonna go and grab it after Lunar New Year

Oh, yes, I forgot the SSD ._.
My bad, I was too focused on the CPU and GPU stuff
Yeah, an SSD is a great thing to have, even my 1st gen one is quite nice
