PC i want to build (Update)

[AdamEdits]

Hi, I recently posted a build, you guys said that it would be too weak, exept for the GPU. Here's my new build:

Anything i should change, or would save me money? Comment below, this is the first time me building anything in general.

just a question what are you using this pc for? if its gaming its pretty weak you also need a graphics card if u want it for gaming

There is a graphics card, theres a GTX 1050 ti. But i need the i5 for some editing

sorry missed it. If you want to use the pc for editing upgrade the cpu

If you want to do editing, upgrade the CPU to an i7 for the hyperthreading. You may also want to check out the Ryzen CPUs that launched a bit ago. Another thing is that I strongly recommend getting a SSD or one of the soon to be Intel Optane chip/memory things.

Ill think about that, its just that I don't really need a beefy cpu, my editing software already works fine with an i3 + 8gb ran



Idk im trying to edit like this but ill need a lot of plugins. Im not too sure i want to upgrade the cpu tho

Alright time to help you out.

Keep the I5 or wait till ryzen 5 releases in like a few weeks. Don't wait or decide not to get a ssd now, if you do it will be a pain moving stuff over. Your budget seems decently low so I would suggest going with
A cheaper lower end small ssd just for booting.

Windows keys are only $6 on eBay I buy them all the time. Don't buy a full one unless you really need it (you don't with that kind of budget). I also suggest if you really want the most bang for your buck going with a 1060 6gb you would have to save a little
Longer but shouldn't take you long at all doing some chores and what not to earn it.

If i got a 1060 i would have to get an i3. I have $700 but i still need to buy a windows licesnse, keyboard, mouse, and games.

Then save up a little more haha if you saved $700 getting 300-500 more isn't hard.

 

[AdamEdits]

I might just save $100 so ican spend the $125 on the monitor and keyboard, then $90 on the key because i need a retail one

Why do you need a retail one?

 

[tiehm]

I do not know if you need it right now but if not, wait until the RAM prices go down.

Because, my Dad doesn't really like the idea of getting a key that we don't know where it came from, and we risk the chance of getting it deactivated. The safer way is getting it through a good deal through amazon.
