Hello everyone, I'm just starting out with PCs and this is my first build. Here are my planned specs:
- Processor: Core i3-9100f (80$)
- Motherboard: Galax H310M (55$)
- Graphics: Radeon RX 570 4GB (125$)
- RAM: 16GB dual channel, 2666MHz (73$)
- Case: Cube Gaming Locus (21$)
- Cooling: Standard 12cm case fan x3 (10$)
- Power Supply: Be Quiet! System Power U9 400W (47$)
- Storage: 1TB WD Blue SSD (42$)
My budget is around $450. I've already bought the RX 570, and I'll get the rest next month. Do you think this setup looks good? Any tips or suggestions would be great! Thanks a lot, everyone.
This value matches the 9100F in performance, but overall it appears well-designed.
Consider the R5 1600 AF with an MSRP of only $85 for a downclocked 2600, as it promises to surpass the 9100F.
Even at $130, it's still a good deal compared to the $9,100 if it works out.
I don't understand your requirements clearly, so I can't confirm if it fits. If it's intended for a gaming setup, it might work. However, for 3D animation rendering, it's not suitable. I think you're aiming for a gaming configuration, so I'll take that into account but be sure to adjust if needed. Poor case fans are likely a mistake—cheap ones don't move air effectively. (The absence of filters on these fans is also questionable.) SSDs are strongly advised in 2020. The storage cost doesn't make sense unless you need large capacity. (I usually go with 5TB+) If your software supports AMD, consider Ryzen. The Ryzen 5 1600AF is great, but getting it from the USA can be tough. Even a 1300X or 1400 would be better and provide more upgrade options. But if you don't plan to upgrade or replace it soon, this setup should be acceptable. You might avoid AM4 and opt for a more affordable alternative that performs better over time.
