I got all my ddr3 ram free (16gb) 4 sticks, and its really good, idk the exact thing tho. Its really nice ram. if that makes sence
Get a Ryzen or Skylake/Kaby Lake/Coffee Lake if you got the money. If you want an older one, go Intel. AMD FX is crap nowadays.
...It's almost like they are stealing money from you....(UM...no.) --- Post updated --- How did you manage that?
AGREE: Do *NOT* buy AMD FX. However, AMD Ryzen is great on a budget for desktops and the 1600 CPU is a good chip for this game. SSD's are awesome, even if it only holds the OS and one game, you will have 0 regrets other than you didn't get a bigger one. A Crucial MX500 is a great drive for budget-minded folks. 8gb of RAM is sufficient, 16gb of RAM is plenty, more is into the realm of diminishing returns. Good graphics cards are 1050Ti 4gb for the budget-minded gamer, 1060 6gb for the more enthusiastic gamer, and 1070Ti for the spendy gamer. Corsair, Fractal, Lian-li make good cases, but you might find something cheaper (Lian-Li is pricey!). Get a case WITH DUST FILTERS over all intake holes (bottom, front, and possibly top too due to dust settling). Trust me, it is worth the extra 10~15$ you would pay for them. A good case can make the difference between a 'meh' build and an 'I love it' build. It can also make the difference between having skin on your knuckles (or not) at the end of the build. Always buy a GOOD name-brand PSU. A 500~600 Watt PSU is higher than you should ever need, so a 500~550 watt PSU should be sufficient. SeaSonic is the name I swear by, but you can buy a Rosewill or EVGA if that's all the budget allows for... but your components will love a good quality supply of clean power and live longer to boot. You'll spend less in the end, especially if you run your PC's non-stop for years like I do. My Seasonic 750 watt PSU, has been through dozens of direct lightning strikes on our house in the last few years, and even "corrupt fired ex-informants" from years ago enacting yet more revenge on me, and trying to taser my electronics while I am not home (Don't live in Pennsylvania, they're idiots up there, it's why I live in Tennessee now). I cannot recommend another brand more than this one. Do read reviews if not sure, but EVGA's units are CHEAP though not nearly as well-engineered, but do have short-circut protection and over-current / over-power protection on them, but it varies by model. You can get a Ryzen laptop for around 700~900$ if that's not too much, also. Tip: Buy only the RAM and GPU you're going to need to get by for now, prices on BOTH a bit pricey. Also, don't buy a damn Seagate hard-drive if you love your data, if you must buy a HDD in 2018 (hint: buy an SSD), buy a Hitachi/HGST - Backblaze stats show they're best, second is Western Digital (IIRC).
I completely agree with this. You dont want to cheap out on a cheap PSU because of the risk of fire and killing your components when something goes wrong. You will also want(Don't say we didnt warn you) a FULLY modular PSU, they might be a tad more expensive but it is worth it. I bought a Corsair 750RX iirc, way overkill for my system but it was as cheap as the 550-600, fully modular and it the efficiency peak was at my workload so it does generate a very small amount of heath. As for cases, I bought a Phanteks Eclipse, it came with 2 cheap fans, dustfilters(they only hold the big flocks tho ), a nice glass cover which is prone to scratches and a very nice cable management system. It also has RGB but that shouldn't be a main selling point. Also, buy a SSD, once you have one, you wont go back. When I got my laptop with a SSD and HDD my father was like, you wont need it and now he has a laptop with only a SSD he says the same . Oh, and if you are building, cable management makes troubleshooting easier and makes your pc run quieter/colder
Can I add something? Just saying, if you don't like the price of an SSD, just get an SSHD they are so MUCH cheaper. (it is a hybrid drive, SSD, and HHD) Basically.
It's not recommended to buy a hybrid drive as you still will be reading and writing to the slower portion of the drive quite often, and it will for the most part, aside of initial boot-up, feel like a slower, older drive VS an HDD from what I've experienced. Most reviewers recommend an SSD + a separate drive for storage. The premium charged often for SSHD's often don't put them in a practical range. It's just a drive with a super-sized buffer of nand-chips. However, if you're severely space-constrained in both storage space in GB, and space constrained say in a laptop or HTPC, this could see a niche-use case and does. It's still recommended to just buy a standard SSD though, even bargain-basement SSD's are usually snappier feeling, and a better buy if you already have an existing HDD. To each their own, however. HDD's still have a use around here - in the drawer as backups, which I connect now and then temporarily to throw files onto (once/twice a month), and then immediately unhook. They don't make so much noise or slow down the computer much when they're in a desk drawer disconnected. Seriously, in 2018, there's no excuse except absolute poverty to not have your most frequently used apps and OS on a SSD. I will honorably recommend the Crucial MX500 drive for those on a budget, there's almost no compromises and even beats many of last year's speed-demon pro-rated SATA (but not NVME) drives. --Again, to each their own, SSHD's have niche-use in space constraints, but not always the smartest buy. You're still buying a HDD in 2018, so just not recommended.
Okay, that makes sense. I am running on an SSHD ( https://www.amazon.com/Seagate-Fire...16741447&sr=8-2&keywords=seagate+firecuda+1tb ) It is obviously faster than an HHD, but like you said, an SSD would be better. In my case, I couldn't afford a 1tb SSD, so therefore I decided to go w/ something faster. (I prefer an SSD)
