So, I know I have made a thread regarding this before, however I had not really started to save the money for the parts at the time, was just trying to get an idea.

Here is my current balance, as well as what I plan to save up in total:
312/550$

The MAX I am looking to spend is just at, or just under 550$. However, I have some specifications as for what I want.

Minecraft - 100+ FPS with medium settings
CSGO - 60+ fps with low-medium graphics
gta - 60+ fps at low graphics
call of duty 2-4 60+ fps @ medium/low graphics

Looking to be able to stream/record at 60fps.


I am in need of 8GB of Ram (Any brand)
I am in need of a Motherboard (MSI/Geforce preferred but not required)
I am in need of a processor (AMD preferred)
I am in need of a GPU (GTX preferred but not required. AMD will work as well)


If there is still money left over after all these parts were found, compatible with each other, and under my budget a new fan (RGB) would be nice as well.


Please let me know what you can find on PCParterPickerUS and post it here. I am aware 550$ is not a lot, however considering I am only needing the main aspects (no case power supply etc) I am positive a build can be made out of the budget I have.



Thanks for your help!

U should have in mind that Ryzen CPUs need at least 2666mhz to run fast af. However u can get a 1700x but u will need a CPU because they arent include
Hmm, so what would a Ryzen 3 compare to with intel? An i3?

I just built this PC for my dad, it's extremely cheap and nice. I know it's not exactly what you want but if you are seriously on a tight budget this pc will work. https://pcpartpicker.com/list/Gc7f4q[DOUBLEPOST=1546655736][/DOUBLEPOST]

I can make you a build if you want for around that, HOWEVER, I highly suggest that you buy used hardware/pc.
Make sure everything is working obviously before buying but you'll get much better price to performance.

Some tips
* Avoid 1060 3gb.
* If you have any old hardware that is not going to affect performance i.e case,hdd,ssd,psu use them.

* Possibly just wait for AMD's new card that is the equivalent to 2070 performance for $250 (half the price) (According to AMD)
Currently, I have a gamin setup, however I have all AM3 sockets and I want to upgrade that to AM4.

What I am currently Running on:

AMD FX quadcore 4100 3.6ghz.
AMD Readon R7 GPU
8GB ram (Idk the brand)
Asus Motherboard (Not sure what model)

It's really not though. I literally benchmarked it before I gave it to him
Thanks, however considering I already have a tower, power supply, and so on I am not in need of a full build :p just looking to upgrade what I have in my current tower.

I mean try reuse things like the case or powersupply.
Certainly will be, hense why I am able to go on a lower budget as I have plenty I can still use for the new hardware.

With the build u will be able to Play for 2-3 years without upgrading
I have had my current setup for around 6 years now coming up on 7 with really little to no issues. Is it simply because older hardware was made to last longer than newer hardware?

But u can't Play AAA games like Doom/BF1 on that
I wouldn't play those games in general. I really am just looking for it to run Minecraft at good settings. As, it's all I play. The other games are a just in case I decided to hop on them and play.
