Would you like someone to rate your PC specifications?
This is my first attempt at assembling a PC. I've shared many questions in the forums regarding PC building. My budget is 700 AUD (510 USD), though I can stretch it a bit further.
Here are the components I've selected:
CPU = i3-9100f
Memory: Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB DDR4 (2x8GB) at 2666MHz
Graphics Card: RX 570 8GB or GTX 1650 4GB (decision still pending)
Storage: WD Blue 2.5in SATA SSD 250GB or WD Blue SN550 NVme M.2 250GB
Power Supply: Thermaltake SMART RGB 600w 80 Plus PSU
Case: Thermaltake H18?
I typically play a few games, so I don’t think I need a lot of RAM, and I might consider adding a 1TB hard drive later.
What are your thoughts on these choices? Should I adjust anything or invest more for better parts?
Thanks.
The 1650 offers a bit more power, though it uses half the VRAM compared to the 570. The performance will vary depending on the games and resolution you choose. It's not realistic to rely solely on 1080p resolution with such a setup, but you did manage well within your budget for that price range.
If it's the 1650 non super version, opt for the rx; otherwise, choose the gtx. You'll get better headroom with 8gb vram for higher texture quality.
I wouldn't purchase a 4-thread CPU in 2020, at least with a minimum of 4 cores and 8 threads. That power supply seems low quality, you're spending on LEDs while compromising on performance.
