PC | Purchasing a new computer anyone

[QuantumEdge]

Hello!
Today looking for some assistance, I am not great with pc parts but I know enough. If someone could help a brother out would appreciate it.

Budget - $700 - $1000 ( Australian Currency )

I currently already own a pretty fresh geforce gtx 1050, you can rather add another one or just leave the graphics card out.

What I use it for
- Counter Strike
- Photoshop/Cinema 4D
- School Programs
- Youtube/Netflix
I don't want some parts to be overkill and others weak I would like it to be balanced

Kind Regards
- Matt

Maybe you can buy a weaker CPU (such as Ryzen 5 1500X) and 2x8GB DDR4-3200 ram

This is off topic but are you also known as "QuantumHawk" by any chance?

Hey!
I have quite some knowledge on computers and I have made you a part list that would be the best your for budget.

Parts: https://au.pcpartpicker.com/list/qW8pnH $940 (Drop ram price down by $30)

Seeing as you already have a 1050, that would be fine for the time being until you can save enough to buy either a 1060 or 1070 depending on how much you are willing to spend later on.

The CPU is a very strong CPU and is great for Cinema 4D as well as editing software and more cause of it's high speeds and cores it gets the job done fast. It also comes with a very good stock cooler and to this day I use it without problems.

The motherboard is great for the price and has a nice design to it and would be perfect for everything in this build.

The RAM in this build is amazing, some of the best you can get for the price, you can drop it down to $260 if you buy it from Scorptec or PCCasegear as part picker has it listed as $300 minimum. It comes with customisable RGB and a high speed and is great for Cinema 4D and rendering etc. (I do not recommend 8GB of RAM and it's really not worth it)

Storage is really up to you, I added 2TB to your build which is more than enough but you could also buy an SSD if you want extra speeds but it's really up to you on that part.

The case I have added is very clean looking and has great cooling, I would recommend it for the price but you can change it to whatever you like, just my preference.

You will only need about 400W of power (max) for this build so I added 550W power supply encase you need it in the future. It's a great budget power supply.

I know that was a lot of stuff to read but I just wanted to give you the best idea on why I chose those parts for the build. You will be able to play many different games at good settings and CS with no problems at all.

If you have any other questions be sure to ask them, I'm Australian so if you want to know what my CPU temps are during summer etc be sure to ask.

RX 570 for cinema 4d since the engine uses OpenCL. Cinema 4D is great if you use an AMD card
Even if 16GB RAM would be better, I prefer saving money on ram and buying a better GPU

Yeah, I used to have 8GB and rendering was super slow for me and games spiked quite often till I upgraded. I just made it like that so he can eventually get a better GPU instead of not using his current one for a bit.

MSI B450-A pro is identical to B450M Gaming Plus (same MOSFETs Onsemi 4C029N for the high side and 4C024N for the low side), but Gaming Plus has a bit weaker VRM heatsinks

What "550w PSU" is your power supply?Is it a good one?
Can you send here its label?
