Hi all, I'm looking to build a custom gaming pc, sort of a tight budget around 3.5-4K with windows 10 installed.
So I'm wondering, aside from my cpu and gpu choices of intel i5 sixth gen and sapphire amd rx480 8gb, 16gb RAM, 750gb HDD (SSD too exp for me lol), I would like to know what are the other cheapest parts available e.g.:
-Motherboard (with wifi adapter?)
-Cooling
-Case
-any other parts I need?
I'm actually looking for the cheapest parts I can get aside from my cpu and gpu, as these tend to be the bottleneck of performance with each passing year. The rest I just want a figure to gauge the least amount it'll take for me to build this. Thank you!

QUOTE(terence_nwb @ Jan 15 2017, 08:50 PM) Motherboard with on-board WiFi card usually only exists on mITX mobo and high end mobo, get a low end mobo and pair it with a 3rd party adapter is a better option to save money. Cooling & casing - use stock cooler for locked CPU and try to get a PC casing with at least 1 intake and 1 exhaust, that's it for now (only add more in the future if needed). If 3.5k - 4k budget doesn't include monitor then it is possible to have SSD in the build list. Thanks  ! What mobo and casing would you recommend? I've tried scouring the web but not sure which is currently the cheapest for my setup. |

QUOTE(terence_nwb @ Feb 7 2017, 11:10 PM) mITX mobo in an ATX case? Not saying it is not compatible, just not a good idea, go for at least mATX for more RAM slots (if got), PCIe slots and etc. And I noticed you have a PCIe WiFi adapter in the build list, mITX mobo only comes with 1 full 16x PCIe slot and for sure it's for your main GPU, so you need to swap to mATX mobo to install the PCIe WiFi adapter. Remove the CPU cooler and go for a 120GB entry level SSD, stock cooler is good enough for a locked i5, SSD will improve the system responsiveness as well as boot time. Ahh lol I forgot about the form factor. Thanks for pointing that out! What about Asus h110M-D and ASROCK B150-HDV? Both are mATX if I'm not mistaken, any recommendation on which would be preferred? |
