Hi..

I was looking to build a PC for elgato hd60s capturing and light gaming (eSports, GMOD, Minecraft etc).

Originally I was looking at a Ryzen 1500X build but they have lowered the budget to £400 from £500.

Is it possible to get one for this price?
 
Even getting the bare minimum to run the 1500x you'd have very very little left for a gpu. You'd get a gpu but it would be the lowest powered one.

And thats not including a monitor, peripherals, windows licence if needed or the elgato device
 
Yeah.. could I take a step down to a core i5-4xxx which would mean cheaper memory and motherboard?

All the other stuff I have this is just for desktop itself.
 
Just out of curiosity..

If he was to get an e-Sports PC for the games mentioned above but forgetting the Elgato needs, how much would we be talking about? Just so I can show them a comparison.
 
I managed to convince them the best option would be to spend the extra for a Ryzen 1500X as this will future proof the PC for a good while.. I am looking to order this today or tomorrow. How does this look:

My basket at Overclockers UK:

Total: £514.19
(includes shipping: £12.30)





Is there anything you think I should change?
 
Ok I done a bit of homework and based on the budget I was given and the requirements of:

Elgato HD60S capturing/streaming, light gaming such as League of Legends, GMOD (eSports games etc), and hopefully some other 30-60FPS gaming.

My basket at Overclockers UK:

Total: £503.89
(includes shipping: £0.00)





Trying to sweeting OC down to £475 with price matching but would you say this build would be suitable for the requirements I have listed?
 
OC can do the above build for £485, would you say that is the best build for the money? and the requirements??
 
Unfortunately I cannot stretch the budget any further... It was a £400-500.

I managed to get all the parts for £485 and I have let them know the only thing that should need upgraded in the future if anything is the GPU. He will get at least a good 2 years out of that one for what he needs, and if he requires more advanced gaming he can look into it at the time.
